For <em>vestirci a cippola</em> - I think a nearer translation would be "to layer" or "dress in layers". That's how I would say it as a native speaker. "To dress intelligently" to me means dress with discretion or dress yourself to make a good impression. Based on the examples you used I would say something different in English.

"It's supposed to get warmer this afternoon so make sure you dress in layers."
"Summer clothes are great in winter because I can layer them with jackets and leggings."
