The suggestions by the sibling comments are great.

I'm also in Berlin and I use Uniqlo's HeatTech undershirt and long johns under jeans/shirt. They're pretty cheap (€10 each) and it makes a lot of difference. I never feel cold. A good jacket is also essential. Downfeather Jackets are my favourite.

Other than that it's just a hoodie between shirt and jacket, scarfs and "hand-shoes". The Coronavirus mask also helps during windy days.

"Hand-shoes" Read "gloves".

I smiled reading that literal translation of "handschuhe" <3

Hah, is that what you call footgloves? "Shoes"? Interesting.

In Japanese it’s hand bags (手袋), and the old school split Japanese socks are foot bags (tabi, 足袋) :)
