Um, a minor point - where are you?
Spain or southern California - shorts and shirt spd moses sandals
UK - N Ireland (where i am) thermal base layer, long sleeved shirt, coat, warm socks, shoes, over shoes, thermal cap (beanie), face guard, helmet, glasses - clear lenses, winter gloves, bib tights.
As you can see, it depends where you are and what the weather is doing.
More info required,

In the absence of a long sleeved jersey, a summer one + "Roubaix" type armwarmers works just as well. Thermal headband/ear warmer thingies like this....
....are quite effective too in cold weather (I've used a Scott one for yonks), but take care - they are also quite good at muffling approaching traffic noise too.

On a road bike you can get away with looking stoopid as all the bright skin tight lycra is expected. In winter who cares what others think you look like if its practical and warm !

I use thermal leggings under endura cycle trousers, nothing worst than frozen nicky nacky noos.

At this time of year I would suggest without a shadow of doubt is to wear very bright day glow yellow/orange tops
you see far too many 'modern cyclists' these days who wear nothing but black and are hidden in the gutter until
the very last second by passing cars, Be seen be safe!
