When it comes to layering, that doesn't just mean pile on more cotton hoodies.
The absolute most important thing is moisture control. Cotton holds on to moisture, so having cotton on, especially right against your skin, means your sweat clings to your body and cools you off. Wool and synthetics will wick the moisture away and let it escape out of the gaps in your top layer.
Investing in proper winter base layers will go a LONG way to improving comfort in the cold!

Thrift shop cashmere (the kind that was donated because it’s got holes) is really really warm too. Got lucky at mardens recently and got some cashmere long sleeves for CHEAP (with small holes) but they keep me so warm I’m taking layers off on the snow trails

Have been looking for wool sweaters; they've gotten hard to find. Cashmere is a heck of a find.

I have gotten a a few cashmere sweaters on ThredUp and Poshmark this winter. They are more expensive than a thrift store but more predictable. My favorite is a tunic from Athleta that was around $26 shipped.
