layering clothes
Wearing multiple pieces
Layering clothes is wearing multiple garments on top of each other, typically for warmth or versatility.
The practice allows adjusting to temperature changes by adding or removing pieces: I'm layering today because the weather's unpredictable.
A standard approach moves from a base layer against the skin through insulating middle layers to a protective outer shell.
