Without clothing, you will lose heat faster, because new "cool" air can always move in contact with your skin. Clothing keeps you warm by trapping a layer of air between your skin and the fabric. This layer of air warms up, which slows the rate of heat transfer from your body.
Just so, what should I wear to stay warm?
Steps to Dress Warm in Winter

- Layer on top a t-shirt or long-sleeve shirt.
- Add on a warm sweatshirt or fleece.
