A thermal vest is the one layer I'd tell anyone to buy before the cold sets in. Worn under a shirt or a fine knit, it keeps you warmer than a heavier jumper would, and nobody can see it's there.
Mey leads the range here. Their Serie Exquisite is a wool and silk blend, softer against the skin than wool on its own, and it comes as sleeveless vests, long-sleeve tops, leggings and cycling shorts that lie flat under clothes. For something more traditional, White Swan makes ivory thermal vests in French-neck and long-sleeve styles, and Palm's black turtle-neck top is the one for the properly bitter days.
