I don't have a winter jacket. A windbreaker over my regular clothes is enough. I'll be cold when I step out the door, but once I'm on the bike, my torso warms up just fine.
Similarly, I don't bother with warm pants. Whatever long pants I'm wearing around the house or at work, they're fine on the bike no matter how cold it is.
Warm gloves, warm cap under the helmet, and maybe booties over my shoes, these things are important, and progressively more so the colder it gets. A warm jacket, not so much.
