Underpants/panties,, thermal underwear or spanx/control garment, tights/leggings or slip, pants or skirt, apron/smock/scrubs/snow/ski pants.  
Sure five or six layers isn't as common nowadays with stockings/hosiery and slips less fashionable, but in winter or work three is not uncommon.  
Also the fashion for tops is less layering than years past too.  
Typically lower layers aren't revealed as much, when whale tail and similar styles aren't in fashion.

You obviously live in a warm climate, and have never had the need for thermals. >

Yeah right now I'm wearing three pants! >

32heats, sweats, and my workpants. Sometimes raingear on top even >

you must live in a warmer area huh lol 
i live in the midwest and it’s not uncommon to layer up both pants and shirts to stay warm in the wintertime 😭 >

Tights and long johns are extremely common, but thank you for playing >

Was just gonna say "So, you're not from the north, I see?", but it seems I was beaten. Several times. >

Yet you found a way to say it anyhow. >

Took some figuring out, I gotta tell you. But what was I gonna do, be silent? In the Internet age?! >

I live in Wisconsin, today I had 4 bottom layers and 3 top layers... not counting 2 hats, gloves, 2 pairs of socks and boots. It's not uncommon for me to wear 2 sets of gloves at the same time. >

You afraid of falling down the stairs?  
That's a lot of padding. >

Currently have a -34°F windchill and -12F temp. I work outside... falling down stairs is the least of my worries. >

That's funny, I'm wearing more than one pair of pants right now. It's -2 degrees Fahrenheit outside and one pair of leggings was not enough. In the winter I regularly layer tights and leggings, leggings and jeans, etc.. It just makes sense. >

Unless you travel with Ryanair and want to skimp on luggage costs. Best I've done is closer to 5 pants. >

I quite frequently wear pyjamas under jogging bottoms/tracksuits if it’s especially cold outside. Does a pretty good job. >

"Underpants". I hate this sub reddit. It is almost like an intelligence test. >

I considered underpants to be implied. I wouldn't consider wearing a bra and a shirt as wearing multiple shirts. >

So you are saying you stack shirts, one after another and see this as common? >

My dad liked to wear shorts over his sweats when he did physical activities. Lol >

I used to be decked out in triple pants and quadruple shirts and jackets just to go to school in -40°C >

Me reading this while wearing underwear, long johns, and work jeans >

Even living in the American South, I show up to work in shorts, under work pants, under sweat pants (currently working on an uninsulated home with no drywall or hvac). Once i get moving the sweatpants can come off and sometimes the sun warms things up enough that I can take off the pants and rock the shorts. I literally make a clothing modular for different body temps
