Even in the recent cold snap a baselayer and a softshell jacket has been perfect for me.
I did try wearing a merino jersey (icebreaker) on my journey to work one day last week. I did not use it in the evening as it was too hot.
Baselayers tend to be a very fine merino - the type you can have against your skin without itching. A cheap jumper will not be such fine merino, so it will have worse wicking and insulating properties.
