The look
This is Jon's early-series appearance before his identity is visually dominated by the Night's Watch. The look has a distinctly northern medieval feel: dark clothing, layered fabrics, leather, boots, and a heavy cloak suitable for Winterfell's cold climate. The overall impression should be young nobleman from House Stark without openly displaying Stark heraldry.
