20 Casual Winter Outfits for Apple Shape With Jeans, Layers and Simple Details
Looking for casual winter outfits for apple shape that give you more options than the same sweater and jeans? Think long gray cardigans, burgundy layers and little checked tops.
These pictures offer plenty of combinations to try, without treating your body shape as a list of things to hide.
You can keep things simple or bring in a little pattern. Most looks include layers, though the two checked tops are lighter outfit bases rather than complete winter looks.
Add coverage for your weather and choose the cuts you like wearing.
Casual outfit ideas to try this winter
long gray cardigan
We’re starting off strong with this long gray cardigan and light-blue jeans. I love how the cardigan nearly reaches the hems of those wide legs.
Pair yours with a white top and a black shoulder bag to follow this look. If you prefer a longer top, you can swap that in without changing the rest.
gray wrap and black pants
How cute is that little side tie? The gray wrap cardigan sits over a black top, with black flared pants underneath.
Try this if you like a tied layer rather than a row of buttons. I’d keep the black base just like this.
green vest and pale jeans
I am obsessed with this deep green vest. It’s so pretty over the white high-neck top, especially with those pale flared jeans.
Keep the pointed black shoes peeking out below the hems. A little necklace at the neckline finishes the combination.
striped shirt peeking out
If you are looking for something simple to put together, this one is for you. A dark sweater sits over a striped button-front shirt, with the collar and long hem left showing.
Add dark wide-leg jeans and pale buckle shoes to try the same look. No need to tuck every layer in.
brown cardigan and white jeans
This brown-and-white outfit may just be one of my favorites here. I love the open cardigan with the white tee and cropped white jeans.
The leopard-print strap shoes are such a cute extra detail. Try them instead of plain flats if you want a little pattern.
burgundy buttons and sneakers
Don’t want to go all out with accessories? No problem!
Try a burgundy cardigan over a white tee with wide-leg blue jeans and pale sneakers. I love the matching burgundy tote.

shirt layers and tall boots
Here’s another striped shirt look, but this one swaps the jeans for black shorts and sheer tights. The shirt cuffs and hem show beneath a loose dark sweater.
Those tall black boots are my favorite part. Keep them if you want to take the same layered top in a slightly dressier direction.
green checks and lace-up boots
How pretty is this green checked dress? The long skirt shows beneath an oversized black cardigan, with chunky lace-up boots at the bottom.
If you like dresses more than jeans, this is a lovely combination to build on. I’d keep the cardigan loose rather than adding a belt.
little green checked top
I love the small green checks and gathered shape of this top. Wide-leg jeans and white sneakers keep the rest simple.
This short-sleeve look isn’t winter-ready on its own. For a layered version, try a long open cardigan over it so you can still see the checked front.
long black coat and tan boots
If you’re looking for a darker outfit with one lighter detail, go with this gray top, charcoal jeans and long black coat. The tan ankle boots are so pretty underneath the turned-up hems.

Leave the coat open to show the gray layers, as pictured.
short black jacket
This is another black jacket idea, but it’s a little different from the long coat above. I love the shorter zip-front shape with these extra-wide blue jeans.
A black square-neck top keeps the combination simple. The frayed jean hems add a little detail without any extra accessories.
brown vest and crossbody bag
How cute is this brown vest over the white long-sleeve top? Blue jeans and tan shoes finish the outfit, with a small dark crossbody bag across the front.

long sweater and black leggings
Don’t want to wear jeans? No problem there! Try a long beige roll-neck sweater with glossy black leggings and black ankle boots.
I love the little white socks showing above the boots. It’s a small detail worth keeping.
black layers with white edges
I am obsessed with how simple this outfit is. The white shirt shows just at the neckline and hem of the black sweater, with loose black pants underneath.
Add a black handbag and silver-tone earrings if you want to follow the accessories too.
burgundy blazer and blue jeans
Bring a little color to your jeans with this burgundy blazer. I am in love with the long, open shape over the plain black top.
The light-blue wide-leg jeans keep it casual. Choose pointed black shoes to follow the picture, or try sneakers for a different finish.

open plaid shirt
If you like a little pattern but don’t want it everywhere, this one is for you. The brown plaid shirt is worn open over a white top and dark blue jeans.
I especially love the rounded jean legs with the chunky taupe shoes. An olive shoulder bag adds another color without making the outfit feel busy.
gray zip-up and cream neckline
There’s so much to like in this outfit collage, from the cream high-neck top to the gray zip-up with its wide collar. The dark jeans have loose legs, with tan slip-on shoes pictured below.

Layer the zip-up over the top, then add the black fringed scarf if you want to use the full combination.
brown checks and black flats
This little checked top is so cute with the wide-leg jeans. I love the high neckline and the gathered section underneath.
Like the green checked look, this sleeveless outfit needs extra layers for winter. You could try a cream long-sleeve top underneath while keeping the brown bag and black flats.

scarves coats and cuffed jeans
Can’t decide between a jacket and a cardigan? This collage gives you both, plus a long brown coat and a scarf-and-beanie combination.
My favorite is the look at the bottom right with the green scarf, cream cardigan and light-blue jeans. Try that mix if you want a little color among your brown and cream layers.
charcoal sweater and buckle flats
Last but definitely not least, we have this charcoal sweater and black wide-leg pants combination. I love the white tee peeking out underneath!
The black flats have rows of little buckles across the front. Keep that detail if you want something a little different from plain shoes.
