Definitely want to go with layers and something waterproof if you expect rain/snow. As someone already mentioned, waterproof breathable is great. I have tried a variety of clothing but ended up biting the bullet on some higher end modular clothing. That was about 12,13 years ago and have not had to buy anything since. Depending on how and how much you hunt a good hunting jacket can last a long time.
I applied the same approach to boots and have been very happy. I you are serious about hunting long term and able to afford good gear you will not regret it. Buy once cry once I guess.
If you are just starting out you may want to be economical as you will have plenty of other gear to acquire. Remember part of the fun is gaining the experience, learning and figuring out what works for you and for the type of hunting you do. It's an adventure. Enjoy it.
