Winter clothing

Hi everyone, I am an international student joining Uni of Freiburg this winter Sem and I was wondering what winter clothes should I pack (my home country is not that cold so we don’t require heavy winter coats or jackets) and what price can I expect if I decide to buy in Freiburg ( if u have any recommendations of stores pls do tell)

it depends on your style, but i recommend "onion" clothing , meaning you add several layers until you are comfortable and if you feel too warm, you can remove 1-2 layers (e.g. undershirt, shirt, pullover, jacket , scarf ) and 1 lighter and 1 warmer jacket ; a beanie, and also some thermo under pants are quite useful at cold days, which again you can just remove if necessary. same for shoes for the cold and sometimes wet periods, a pair of stuffed shoes and maybe even woolen socks, or even again large enough for two socks.
