I can go as low as the upper teens (if the windchill is not down in single digits) on my work commute with the following items...
-base layer (top and bottom) that wicks moisture (wool is the best, but I have cheap Costco thermals that work ok) -Normal work attire (khakis, button shirt) -wool socks and liner gloves -insulated leather mittens -wool gaiter -thin wool beanie -light wind breaker I'm a little cold right when I start, but warm up pretty quick once I start pedaling. That's the sweet spot...if you are not cold when you start, you're overdressed and you'll likely overheat and sweat a lot, which will make you cold and clammy. If you never warm up, you're not wearing enough and you'll be uncomfortable the whole ride. I know I'm doing it right when I'm feeling fairly thermo-regulated on climbs and flats and a little chilly on descents and when I'm stopped at a light.
