As we all know, leather armor will stop you from taking damage by the power snow. I feel like having you equip your leather armor every time you are in a snowy biome. I suggest maybe being able to put your leather armor on TOP of the current armor you are wearing. Like a coatish thing. Sorry for bad english, love from korea
...I actually wouldn't mind having something like this. Leather armor is pretty useless as it is, and yet for some reason it's the only kind of armor that you can dye. If there was a separate means of putting on armor cosmetically, while not actually gaining the benefits from it, you could wear dyed leather over your existing armor. ...Of course, this might also make it difficult in Multiplayer games to distinguish what kind of armor an enemy actually has. I support.

That is why it's best to not make strong armor dyeable. You can trick others by wearing light blue letherarmor, making them believe you wear full diamond to scare someone off. Now imagine you could dye diamond armor brown to lure people in...
You could ofcourse appear unequipped and put on your gear in the last seconds.
For cosmetic, we can use texturepacks.
I use 2 different types, one that removes the enchantment glow and one that makes armor completly invisible.
That way i can see my own and other skins while wearing armor.
The enchanted elytra now looks like a part of my body.
Sadly it's not part of the skin texture, so everybody is displayed with my wings if i chose to play with my elytra texture.
Edit:
What i'm trying to say is that we can already costumize our individual looks except elytra.
I don't really care about this, and in general my opinion is that the leather armor and it's uses against powdered snow and powdered snow in general are both completely useless. For one, you are only going to put yourself at greater risk wearing leather armor, because you will take much more damage from strays than you will from falling into some snow. Also, the snow itself kills the player incredibly slowly, so slow infact that you can survive indefinitely in powdered snow just by eating food. And it seems really easy to escape from, just mine out of it or have a bucket in your inventory. So in gneeral I just don't really think this would do anything for the game.
I would be okay with this. The Smithing table's only current use is to make Netherite gear so you could add the functionality there, just add your metal armor and a matching piece of leather armor to make an insulated version of the metal armor. Identical to the original metal armor in every way except resistant to the cold effect.
The other idea mentioned about wearing leather armor over metal armor, the easy fix for PvP is adding a "Hide Cosmetic Armor" option in the settings like many games do. Then you see the "real" armor the other player is wearing, not their decorative armor.

It's a trade something for something, cold protection vs physical protection. Maybe it would be acceptable for chainmail armor.
If anything, I would rather see leather armor being more versatile, for example by making heavy armor slowing backpedaling and strafing speed (while leaving forward speed intact, that is, to reduce maneuverability, not speed per see).

Buildings - square, not round
Materials - from rubble mound
Dark caves - lit 'n' cleaned out
Settlements - deep underground
Farmability - to grinder bound
Shields - made creepers but sound
Axes and crossbows - taking mobs out
I think the purpose of encouraging wearing leather armor is to make the area more dangerous. And, as was pointed out, powdered snow doesn't pose almost any real threat.

Leather armor will become useful becouse it will keep you warm.
You can enchant it like any other armor. That's of corse not as tanky as diamond or netherite.

My projects:
-are abandoned for now. I might pick 'em up in the future.
For now i'm working on a private modpack that suit's my own playstyle.
I am gonna stay in modded 1.12.2 untill my potato dies. No mercy! :Q

This idea sounds beautiful!!! It could act as a way to semi dye all of your armor!
Obviously it wouldnt have to cover all of your armor, just bits and pieces, and mainly the leather can be on the inside
And it still give use to leather armor as you need it to craft this
Full support here
"Hide cosmetic armor"
