With temperatures of 0-10 degrees, it is comfortable to just stroll along the streets of Oxford in London or have a picnic under the Eiffel Tower in Paris in just a light leather jacket and a thin sweater.
P.S. Klook your tickets to the Eiffel Tower to skip the queue.

Arctic Cold (-10 degrees to -20 degrees)
They say quality over quantity and this is definitely true when it comes to layering up for the harsh arctic winter.
