2 t-shirts for anything below zero.
Anything else is just being soft. Or "nesh" as it's called here.
Remember...we don't like whinging Aussie/Anzacs moaning about our weather!

Just keep your head warm and your feet dry and you'll be fine.
Ha! Likewise, we don't like the English whining about our (Australian) weather! 30 C degrees is not hot!

T-shirt weather are you kidding?! I don't take my jumper off until it is at least 18 degrees C. Anything below 16 degrees C is quite cold in my perspective... so pretty much I am going to stick out like a sore thumb.

Which reminds me, before I started studying in NZ I did a bit of touristy things, which included going in a helicopter and landing on a glacier, which was SO BLOODY COLD. I was literally in about 5 layers of clothes. Yet there were some poms (I use that term affectionately, don't kill me) on the tour who were wearing Hawaiian t-shirts and shorts! It amused me.
