During winters, we prefer wearing more layers of clothing than just one thick piece of clothing because air gets trapped in between the various clothing layers. Being a poor conductor of heat, air prevents heat loss from our body. Hence, layers of clothing keep us warmer than a single layer.

When we wear more pieces of clothing we feel warmer because the air is a bad conductor of heat it do not let heat escape through it and thus wearing more pieces of clothing provides us more warmth than just one piece of clothing .

During winters wearing more layers of clothing keeps us warmer because there are small pores inside the clothing thus it traps air as air is a bad conductor /insulator of heat it does not let heat escape from the clothing . Thus wearing more layers of clothing keeps us warmer than just wearing a thick piece of clothing .

If we will wear double layered clothes the air traps in and between of the pores and the does not reach us and thats why we feel warmer while wearing doubled layer clothes
