layer up
Dress for cold
Layer up means to put on multiple garments for warmth, typically in preparation for cold weather: It's freezing out—layer up before you go.
The phrase emphasizes adding successive pieces rather than one heavy coat, following the principle that trapped air between layers insulates better than bulk alone.
