If you’re active outside it’s surprisingly hard to be cold to be honest. Beyond that the most important thing is having a wind proof layer on the outside, and probably some decent gloves.
I’ve lived where it regularly gets near -40C. Often feel chillier laying down in a “cold” house than even just walking outside for a bit. If you have a thick coat and you’re moving it’s not unusual to get too warm, which can be a bit of a problem if you start sweating. I would bike in the winter and I basically just needed a wind breaker and a light jacket (and good gloves, obviously!). One thing that kind of sucks is taking the bus in the winter because you walk to the bus stop, but then sit there in the cold, and then when you finally get on the bus it’s disgustingly warm.

On the other side, it’s also really hard to keep warm even in 0/32 degree weather when you’re not being active.

Try that in Canada.
I’m from Canada, so… I have?
Oh, snap!
Lol. Try living up north. Work as hard as you want, you’ll still freeze to death, one block from home.
Though, I’m sure that applies very well on the Sunshine Coast.
