because more of your body heat is retained closer to the body instead of dissapearing into the cold outside air
and the cold outside air has more problems getting closer to your body since it has to get thrugh all the layers
This is what i think. Several layers clothes reduce heat loss.

It's the air that insulates.
I am pretty sure you are warmer with several layers of clothes than with one heavy jacket because the jacket only covers the top half of your body

Insulating properties is all about how much air the clothes can trap. And several thin layers does this better than one heavy layer.
Yes it will be warmer depending on how thick your thick layer is!
Wearing several layers of clothes creates insulating air pockets between the layers, which helps to trap heat and keep you warm. In contrast, a single big coat does not create as many insulating layers and may not trap heat as effectively.
Because you have air pockets between each layer to help you warm up, whereas with a single coat you only have the one layer.
It is known as the layering system. Several thin layers trap more insulating air between the layers. If you start to sweat, you take off a layer or two to cool down, and put the layers back on to warm up again. If you take off a heavy jacket, you will not have the layers underneath to prevent chilling. Usually, a heavy jacket means either being too hot or too cold when active outdoors.
Arctic explorers wear several layers of clothing because of how cold it is.
Wearing several thin layers of clothing is better than one thick layer because it allows for better insulation and air circulation. The air trapped between the layers acts as an insulating barrier, keeping you warmer. Additionally, you can easily adjust your clothing by adding or removing layers based on changes in temperature.
