How to Wear Navy this Fall + Look Stylish Not Boring

[@hjburns]

I love navy! It's my new black. About 4 years ago, I switched from black to navy and built my closet around navy. I find it flatters my complexion better than black. You styled some beautiful clothes. I would really like Lily Silk products to be available in retail stores as I really do need to try things on before purchasing, and I don't want to be burdened with the return process.

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

Same on navy. I looked good in black a few decades ago but it makes me look haggard now.🫤

[@elizabethhatch7513]

My mother wears navy to perfection! She always looks elegant and appropriately stylish for any occasion. Other shades of blue with navy are also magnificent! The cognac with navy is particularly modern, I think. It’s a very smart, long term investment. Frye makes lovely shoes and accessories in that color. And your fun haircut flatters you beautifully!

[@dianayavetz6286]

I actually love wearing navy and black together. Usually black top/navy pants and black shoes and handbag. I read a piece by a woman who went to Paris for fashion week and she was on a budget. She built her capsule wardrobe on just black and navy. I tried it and now I love it.

[@andreamiciano6649]

The outfit of navy dress, denim jacket and red accessories made me smile. You look so happy wearing that fun combination!

[@cynthiajohnston424]

Lovely video ! With so many businesses in the US having their staff wear black & people seeming to practically live in black athletic wear , substituting navy is a refreshing " neutral " ! So nice for casual , jeans & khakis , to dressier pants , dresses & evening wear .

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching!😊

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

I am a navy girl! As a soft autumn, black just washes me out. The ideas you presented today are very helpful. I also like to wear scarves to give my outfits a pop of color. Would love to see a video on how to accessorize with different shapes, sizes and colors of scarves. 😊

[@sheilamoser9733]

Oh Kay your hair is so GORGEOUS 👍😁🥰. This is very very flattering.

[@wanzee104]

I used to wear black, however, I love navy with my hair & complexion these days. I'm 64. Plus, when I travel, I love a blue, white, sand, British tan & navy capsule wardrobe. Thank you for sharing!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Absolutely!😊

[@katherinerichardson1767]

Great ideas on the navy. I love to wear navy all year long and now I have some good ideas that you have shared. Thanks!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Great!😊

[@jeanetten6908]

Thank you for this very helpful video! I love navy & grey neutrals. Your accessorizing tips provide many nice options!

[@andrearoberts2776]

What a great video.Lily Silk has beautiful things, I wish they had plus sizes. I wish more companies, like Talbot's, carried extended sizes. We plus size ladies have money to spend and love elegant fashion too!

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

I wish they had petite sizes too.

[@HopingForever]

And I wish LS carried petite sizing. Not financially viable for them or they would. It seems most extended sizing is carried by fast fashion brands like Talbots, J Crew, etc.

[@elizabethpetrie2732]

Navy goes with so many other colours, and grey, tan, pale pink, and burgundy are especially elegant pairings with navy. Scarves with those tones are especially flattering near the face, and make the outfit truly chic.

[@joettatidwell544]

What a stunning new haircut. You are wearing it well. Thank you for the tips.

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Thank you.😊

[@robynwells8249]

I love black and navy. The trick for me is to wear a brighter or more vibrant shade of navy.

[@melindawycoff5627]

Love that you try new hairstyles. This short, sassy cut is darling.

[@beverleyphillips2198]

I love love your hair. Kay you look absolutely radiant.

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Thank you!😊

[@marysuewhitehead4441]

With fall golden colors in nature, Gold is a good choice. Plus.. Orange in many shades is a great way to go with navy In the Artist palette, Orange is the compliment to blue. Yellow is a pop surprise, too.

[@dianecyment1715]

Navy has been a color that I have embraced for years. I wear navy all year round. I am a petite woman so I can't wear the pants and skirts from Lily Silk, but I purchased a beautiful merino wool navy lady cardigan from them in XS and it fits beautifully. It is so well-made and so classic. Your styles with navy are just beautiful. I think a grey cardigan would suit you better rather than the cream color. Love the nude color shoes that you paired with navy. I will will have to try that combination. Thanks for your inspiration, Kay.

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

I know what you mean with Lilysilk. I am also petite. I’ve only found a sweater that actually fits me. It’s a shame they don’t offer petite sizing, there is an untapped market out there for them!

[@bethpinterich4052]

Have a navy pants suit from Land's End that I enjoy wearing. Is there a more modern way to wear the suit rather than both pieces together?

[@janalove4013]

Hey, I love your haircut! Very flattering.

[@marlyssmith4831]

I have been watching your channel for sometime time now. I love your new hairstyle! So flattering!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Thank you for being here!😊

[@Lisa-sp5if]

I absolutely adore black and will continue to wear it till the day I die, but I have warmed up to navy or a dark blue! I think the winning combination is camel and blue! It’s gorgeous!❤❤

[@debbiewood3819]

I like your hair style, Kaye...very complimentary... proud of you!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Thank you!😊

[@CFW1]

I love navy, so this video was very informative. You looked fabulous in the outfit with silver accessories and the navy leather jacket. Your pop of red color with accessories with some of the outfits looked great, too.

[@suzannebell51]

Great ideas - I love navy and wear it as a neutral with red and green. I loved the red and white striped silk shirt she had on!

[@judyholm2227]

The Lilly Silk clothes are so pretty but they don't carry petite. Darn! Navy has always been my neutral. Love it! Because I am short and want to look taller I have worn black shoes with my navy so it is low contrast if I didn't have navy to wear. I am high contrast so wear all sorts of colors with navy.

[@chelleychelley8299]

Right off the bat I have to say, I LOVE your hair! I'm planning on a similar style myself! Beautiful options!

[@SallyRuckerllamalady]

Navy is my favorite. Your new haircut is so flattering. You look younger every year.

[@blessedforever3325]

I don’t know why I have not switched to navy myself. I do have a few pieces and navy actually looks good with black so I will be slowly making the transition as my clothing needs replacing. I’ve always felt great in navy and all blues and teals.

[@henningsenp]

Lots of great tips, Kay! Finding cute/elegant navy flats are impossible.

[@KimFales]

I love navy! I'm wearing less black near my face these days, as it seems too harsh. Super excited to see that navy is on trend for fall!❤

[@tricia77grace]

Such classy videos, Kay! I sometimes watch your videos because it is so uplifting…better than hearing what‘s going on around us. I am trying to be more purposeful in picking out my clothes. Like the little tune at the end too!

[@shelleyUSATX]

I feel the same.

[@BryanClifford-k3f]

Thank you for all of your professional, encouraging and relevant videos to help us step out confidently and feel current! This was a great video. I’m packing for our PNW trip and chose navy, dark green and black as you suggested. I appreciate you and all of the hard work that goes into producing and sharing these entertaining and educational videos. I love your suggestion of investing in cognac accessories - so versatile. Thank you thank you! Andrea Clifford

[@Soapandwater6]

I love the gray, navy, and red pop of shoe color! And I like your new haircut!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Thank you!😊

[@jackielongnecker1089]

Thank you for the video on navy! I love navy. Lots of new ideas for me.

[@alisonpena4577]

Hi Kay, thanks for another wonderful video! As we approach fall I would love to see how you would style burgundy as it seems on its way as a top fall color. Of course burgundy and navy would look awesome together. Loving your shorter haircut 😊

[@pattyjames4956]

I have always wore navy instead of black. I use the navy the way most women use black. I've used all kinds of colors with navy. I'm glad to know that navy is back this year!

[@airstreamer]

Navy is a base color for me in my wardrobe. Along with black. I think both are timeless and can be worn in so many situations. I love grey with navy too! Great outfit ideas. - Michelle

[@kayeratliff9799]

Navy is one of my signature colors for fall. Thanks for your hints!! I really like your hair style. it's fresh and easy. Thanks for your videos.

[@robertazapp1443]

I have always loved navy but it wasn’t always available. Therefore I ended up with more black. So glad navy is making a comeback!😊

[@pattorelli3451]

Love the navy dress with the denim and leather jackets!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

😊

[@dstern5859]

You look beautiful with your hair tucked back and you are glowing in that top. The colour suits you very well! 🙂Thank you for your helpful video!

[@abhurley]

I would love detailed instructional video on how to measure for Lilly Silk custom made blouses. Love their quality, but I need petite sizing. I’m not 100% sure on all the measurements they require.

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

I wish they carried petite sizing. Not willing to spend $170 on a blouse that doesn’t fit properly.

[@sandylynch6676]

Love all your looks with navy 😍 I prefer navy over other neutral colors Your hair looks lovely ❤

[@marilyncoburn4936]

Love the grey and navy look on you. Very becoming, I have just started to switch to navy earlier this year. I find it a softer look. Also it’s a very French look. Thanks for the suggestions. Love the idea of red shoes as a spark of colour.

[@nancysudlow2736]

Hi Kay! Love watching your channel! I was thinking of navy as my base color for fall and winter and here you are showing us! Thank you for all the color combos!

[@tracygray7574]

Love your new hair cut! Looks great on you! I love navy and have more navy outfits than black but I still have the little black dress and dressy back slacks

[@janinebate1272]

Your haircut is stunning - you look so much younger and very chic! 😊

[@BanannieB]

Navy is my ultimate favorite and ‘go to’ for a classic look. I really love your haircut! 💁🏼

[@ellenluney1912]

Love your vidoes and love your new hair style❤

[@angiemoreland4366]

Love this video! Exactly what I needed to see. I’m 62 and wore black when younger, but I don’t wear black anymore. You look great! Love your new hair style! Also, post which lipstick 💄 you’re wearing. Very attractive with the red striped shirt. Thank you!

[@kymgabriele297]

Hi Kay Thank you Navy is my favourite NEUTRAL . I wear my navy dresses in summer always with nude shoes/handbag, I wear my Navy trouser outfits with your favourite Cognac Accessories. In Winter I wear my navy dresses/skirts with my Dark Plum Suede Long Boots , my trousers I wear depending on what colour my top is , I wear my Claret Ankle Boots . The Winter colours in my wardrobe for my tops is Plums , Wine, Soft Pink, Cobalt Blue . One of my favourite looks to wear with Navy! You styled it ! Is Navy + Grey , the grey I wear because of my low contrast colour is a Bluey Grey which looks gorgeous and my Grey boots Xx

I am high contrast. Bought my red flats a few weeks ago :) Love navy for work, and added a bright pink sweater with navy pants and jacket which worked with my coloring. Just love all your suggestions! Thank you for all the thought you put into these videos.

[@nancycook7802]

I wear black but I love navy. Some great ideas for fall in this video, BUT I would love for you to do a little video of your new hairstyle. It is so flattering on you! I see other comments saying the same regarding your hairstyle too.

[@TammyNevils]

Team navy! Every LilySilk look is gorgeous here!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Thank you!😊

[@Scotchirish-SL]

Hair cut is fab! 👍🏻 I needed these tips for navy… tough to style up. I think my favorite color combo for fall is with burgundy. Never thought about the green (esp olive or mint) with it…great new idea.

[@janicerepass6996]

Great clothes, and your hair looks fantastic!!!

[@jeannepaynter1611]

I love the navy dress! I see that Lilysilk has a special price for now at $199. It also comes in dark olive. I wish it came in red! Kay, I’m holding out on the belted, pleated trousers, trend or not. On me they add pounds. I’ve adjusted to wide legs while not my favorite. I look best in a slim leg ankle pant. I recall the guideline to show your thinest feature and that is my legs.

[@witkowski.barbara]

I'm a "winter" and wear both black and navy. However, I find myself gravitating more toward navy recently. Thanks for all the great tips!

[@stacyking4438]

Love your new haircut very cute and i love mavy i just bought two navy tops this summer love with khakis and white pants

[@Terry-s5o]

Great video, Kay! Love your hair! You presented some great options for fall as I wear lots of navy. I say "navy" but the Talbots indigo is blackish navy. Twice I've gone to appointments wearing the wrong color pants thinking they were navy! Enjoy your Georgia visit!

[@Julia-xu4gq]

I loved this video, as I have been trying to figure out how to wear more navy. I am a light summer coloring, light contrast and intensity, and black overwhelms me sometimes. You really identified why I have not been able to incorporate it--navy looks either too corporate or too much like a work person on me. I also loved how you distinguished the nautical vibe from the quiet elevated vibe. I absolutely love those navy silk pants; typically out of my budget but I am considering them...

[@denisedorsey2889]

Also consider a more modern, edgy silhouette when looking for something navy. That helps to keep things from looking too corporate.

[@cindyperazzo7183]

Navy is so much softer on me than black!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

I think navy is always a great choice. It’s all about preference!😊

[@Teresa-jh9hi]

Thanks Kay! Your hair looks adorable! I just bought a few pieces of navy this spring for the first time. Stayed clear of it for the exact reason you asked- always thought it looked too much like a uniform. Thanks for the video and advice on how to make it work.

[@dianazenobi2627]

Love your hair! Could you please show us the back? I’m trying to replace most of my black with navy.

[@kathyfagala6933]

Love navy. Always have. Thanks for keeping it FRESH!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

[@mariecurie7491]

That's a great tip, to wear two doses of each dark colour. I also love deep brown with navy. And then add pearls to light up my face

[@margreetdegraaf4078]

I love how you show up here, thank you! I am a true summer with light to medium contrast and navy is my dark neutral. Thanks for all your outfit ideas 🙏

[@patriciakeegan4228]

I love your color theory about contrast…I’m just like you…very low contrast! 😊

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

[@debra5515]

Love this video. Even at the beginning of the video, I saw several similar items that I have in my closet that I can pair with navy trousers that I never really thought about. I usually just wear a white or cream blouse, but now I will venture into grey and maroon this fall. How much fun it will be to not look the same all the time. Have a great trip. Debra

I lean towards black but love the navy trousers depending on the feel. Silk in any shape or form is a luxury for me. I am more of a dress woman. I loved looking at Lilysilk I wish I could have afforded more. Love your channel, definitely the classiest host.

[@beckykirk4936]

I like light blue with navy to soften the look.

Absolutely! I enjoy that combination too.😊

[@MamaEuny]

I love wearing navy! I feel like it accentuates my white hair and my skin tone. I, too, have a pair of gray pumps that are almost exactly like yours. I haven't pulled them out in awhile, but you've inspired me to use them with gray and navy.

[@lidijazivanovic2810]

I am definitely a team navy, always loved it! In a summer time I mix it with white and red, in fall / winter my favourite is burgundy and green with navy. I personally think it's a very elegant colour. I have dark hair and eyes, olive undertone in my skin , so black looks very harsh on me in this time of my life - 56 years young 😅

I love the navy striped shirt. That may be my next Christmas gift. I buy and wrap it from my husband. I already own a navy Lilysilk blouse. But the striped one caught my eye. And the dress. But I don’t wear dresses very often. So I think it will be the blouse for me. I’m not sure if I own any navy trousers. But I can wear that beautiful blouse with some dark wash jeans too.
