I should put few clothes of that same type ? In example now i have on my torso: winter coat, sports jersey, suit and kariginu. And i have 2 pairs of pants + shorts. Its good idea ? Or maybe i should wear 1 shirt, 1 coat, 1 pants ?

You can get your hobo on and layer your clothes as much as you like, but there’s a tradeoff. Nearly all clothing adds encumbrance, which hinders movement, melee, ranged combat, and other things. You can see what you current gear is doing on the @ status screen, by tabbing over to the encumbrance pane.
