English term or phrase: dress in layers
Is there a better way to translate this phrase into Spanish, without using too many words, than "vestirse en capas" which is so very literal I´ve become to hate it?
This is someone giving advice to travellers: *pack light and have layers*, is what she´s saying.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Vestirse en capas o cómo "una cebolla" implica ponerse varias prendas una sobre otra, no muy abrigadas; en lugar de unas pocas de mucho abrigo.
