Three useful layers

Wick. Warm. Shield.

A base layer manages sweat. A mid-layer retains warmth. An outer layer blocks wind and precipitation. You may not need all three, but thinking in roles makes it easier to adjust.

Carry a layer when a long route, exposed terrain, or changing weather could leave you colder than expected.
