Layering + thickness

Probably a stupid q, so have been hesitant to ask BUT It's getting colder now and I'd love to wear more wool in the form of jumpers as a mid layer. In terms of layering, some guides I've come across have always suggested that the outerlayer should be the thick one - but would it be a big 'no no' generally (for want of a better term) if I wore a thick wool jumper, and then threw a lighter chore jacket/overshirt over the top? e.g. a thick jumper, and then something like this over it: https://universalworks.co.uk/products/universal-works-bakers-overshirt-in-navy-fine-cord-3 ? I seem to have an abundance of lighter jackets like this (not just corduroy), and it's probably not going to get cold enough to warrant me buying even more outerwear to combine with thick wool jumpers - just wasn't sure if it'd look super off?

It's just a rule of thumb really. As long as the difference isn't comical, don't worry

yeah that makes sense - i'll just judge it on a case by case basis and see if it looks off
