Helps with warmth, but those kinds of clothes don't protect much against rain. And being wet = being cold, even if you wear 5 layers. Plus, it's just a lot easier to take off a coat once you're inside than those bajillion layers.

Thermal underwear. The thinness and heat-retaining quality these days is amazing. You can get away with very few layers:

  1. thermal t-shirt
  2. t-shirt or shirt (depending on formality needed)
  3. flannel shirt-jacket or hooded waterproof jacket/coat

And in many cases you can do without layer 2.

 hooded waterproof jacket/coat

That's specifically what you're not supposed to do according to the natives. They think it's uncool to wear coats.

None of the other clothes are waterproof by any measure, which makes them practically worthless in the rain.
