What's Out of Style in 2023 and What to Wear Instead

[@riverrock335]

I just got back from traveling to Seattle, Santa Barbara and Solvang. 90 percent skinny jeans and leggings and very few wide leg pants. I think manufacturers are trying to push change and not the public. Wear what feels comfortable and makes you feel confident. Change feels fresh but what looks good on your body rarely changes.

[@drcorrigan]

I have to agree. I think the wide leg jeans screams frump, especially when paired with sneakers. The manufacturers want us to change it up so we will spend more money. Kay, you look lovely in this video as always, but I was not in love with some of the suggested new looks. I may have to sit out 2023.

[@CelebrateEverything]

I have noticed that fashion trends take a little longer to hit us here in the Pacific Northwest, which is fine with me; I'm not very trendy.

[@Mary-oy7se]

Those wide leg jeans only look good on 12 year olds.

[@annmoore6747]

I love Solvang.

[@deborahguenther3980]

Skinny’s are not for me. I welcome the change

[@pattismithurs9023]

I love this! I'm 76, live in Rural America, haven't owned makeup in 25 years, and have no idea what y'all are wearing - but watching this, YOU happen to be now wanting to wear what I've been wearing for the past 3 years, since losing a lot of weight. Great news for my budget ! Great video, Kay, thanks very much.

[@9cats7]

I am glad the wider leg jeans are back. I have one pair of dark skinny jeans (not jeggings, which are tighter) and I enjoy wearing them with white sneakers, a t-shirt and a jacket. Kay never says we are wrong to keep what we like. She's offering guidance and I think most of us really appreciate her approach. Grateful!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Thanks so much for watching. And your skinny jeans outfit sounds great. 🙌🏻

[@junelesher2794]

Why do you use so many words to put an idea across when you could come up with some other idea

[@9cats7]

I. Enjoy. Annoying. You.

[@nancybass1962]

I am 63 and I like to stay current with trends, but I have no intention of giving up my pull on skinny jeans! Love your videos.

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Hahaha! Enjoy!

[@marachristian8726]

I love my Jeggings and Skinny Jeans, and I pair them with floaty Boho tops (which I found at thrift stores!)

[@JRNurse2013]

You’re hair looks so good, Kay! This straight style makes you look much younger and is very pretty on you! Thanks for the tips!

[@virginiagirl6628]

Am I the only one who has always hated skinny jeans? I love the wide leg jeans, cropped or ankle length. I feel with my size (18) it balances me out. I love your suggestions!

[@cinditalbot5373]

I’ve always hated skinny jeans, I don’t think they look good on anyone. Wearing a tunic top with leggings make anyone look like a potato with 2 skewers stuck in it.

[@mercedes523]

I’ve never like them.

[@NancyLauzon]

I agree. I have an apple shape, and wearing straight pants gives me a better proportion.

[@missynorwood8614]

I dont like skinny jeans. I have never owned a pIr of them.

[@lorilagerstrom4123]

I never got into “skinny jeans” so moving on is just fine with me!!!

[@marietgagliardi]

I've been wearing straight leg jeans. Very similar to skinny jeans but more in style. I think all your recommendations are right on target. I've retired most of these out of style items already. Also, I'm appreciating that you aren't turning over styles every 3 momths like the 20 year old KZbinrs

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Hahaha! No way. I’m trying to help us all build a wardrobe, not buy a bunch of useless clothes. 😊

[@wendyelliott6828]

Great show Kay. Some of those out of date items never resonated with me when they were “in style” in the first place! I love how you relate our clothing to the way we feel. I think I dress for me. And when I think I look great, I feel better.

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Absolutely! Confidence is key to looking our best. 🙌🏻

[@astorytoldhere]

Not a fan at all of the straight leg, boxy, loose fit jeans-trend for MY body style. I am a tall, slim, rectangle & my skinny jeans look the very best on me, followed by super-slim bootcut jeans. Thanks for not throwing those of us that cannot wear the “trendy” styles under the bus! You are always a class act!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Thanks Cindie. 💕

[@maryokeefe5351]

So true that skinnies only ever looked really good on those lucky ladies with long, slim legs and straight hips. They do nothing for anyone with a more rounded hipline - the dreaded lollipop effect!

[@marinasmith4772]

Agree. I don't understand why "Mom" jeans are making a come back.

[@mickyo7171]

If you are lean, wide leg jeans look fantastic on you! I’m serious.

[@carolyndougharty9686]

I grew up in the early 70's so loved flared pants, and for my body type they still work. Chubby and short with large calves-- never ever have worn skinny jeans! Knowing your body type and what is flattering is the key rather than just hopping on the trend bandwagon. Other ways to stay current without wearing something that does you no favors!

[@artstudiogirl784]

Thank you Kay! We so appreciate you and your sweet, honest, loving encouragement. 😘

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Thank you. You’re so welcome. 🥰

[@dianecyment1715]

I wear my Talbot's relaxed joggers (I have both navy and black) when I am watching my grandkids. They allow me to get down on the floor to engage with them. I have had these for a couple of years now and they are oh so comfortable. I retired my skinny jeans because I find the straight leg jeans are more versatile and frankly, they are more flattering on me. I enjoyed this video, Kay. Thanks.

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Absolutely keep wearing those joggers for days like that. I certainly wear mind too.

[@janetjaken1389]

For the joggers, what I do now is turn the cuff up inward. Makes them into a straight leg pant!

[@carolglover3582]

Had hoped the joggers would go away. They are not flattering on me

[@lu_re7198]

If you love tunics, then FoxCroft 🦊 (and LandsEnd) make a long length (no iron) button down that’s slightly tapered in at the waist. They aren’t “fitted”, but they do give a more feminine silhouette.

[@AJ_SouthernGal]

Love this! I've been decluttering my closet the past couple of weeks so this greatly helps. I turned some of my infinity scarves into tops - I needed a top to layer under a jacket but had no time to shop, so grabbed an infinity scarf & no one knew the difference 😁

[@barbaraweatherman5340]

So smart! ❤

[@AJ-yw7hf]

Creativity. Cool. Necessity is the mother of invention, as they say.

[@donnacampbell1641]

Thank you so much for trying to keep us current. I am 75 and overweight and I wear a lot of tunics. I do have some of the oversize button up shirts that you recommend that I may try to switch to but it’s gonna be hard to give up those tunics. Also the animal prints. I don’t wear a lot of them but I do have a couple of things that I really do enjoy probably will stick with those.. Love in Christ

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

You do you! Thanks so much for watching, Donna. 😊

[@AJ-yw7hf]

Note for our sisters who want to diminish the look of their weight: if a person is overweight, horizontal stripes are a no-no. Many horizontal-striped shirts & horizontal-striped dresses give the illusion of the person wearing it being wider/larger than they are. Vertical stripes make a person look a little taller & less heavy. The striped shirt in the video looks great on Kay, but if an overweight person wants stripes, there are sometimes the options of shirts & dresses with vertical stripes that are nice-looking, too. As Kay basically says in her videos though, what you're comfortable & confident in matters, too.

[@carolsummers8734]

I never understood cut out shoulders or ripped jeans.

[@5Ducklings]

I love your positivity and support for individual tastes. You've got such great insights. Sending a big thank you from Ecuador!

[@pamelafaust708]

Great tips and thoughts Kay! i love your philosophy of fashion - yup, it's for fun! Yes, I want to know what's going on and I don't want to appear too out of touch, but ultimately, it's about fun and reflecting who I am. So thanks for validating that.

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Perfect! Thanks for watching, Pamela. 🥰

[@debbielugar3836]

I always love your videos, Kay! I've used so much of your advice successfully. Sooo, about those skinny jeans . . . First: It's somewhat difficult to find nice jeans that aren't "skinny." Second: Although you look fabulous in everything, Kay, your most stunning photos in this video are, I think, the ones where you are modeling the skinny jeans! Third: As a 63 y.o. at 5'6" w/long legs, I feel much more "frumpy" in those shorter, wide-ankle jeans than I do in the longer and leaner "skinny" jeans. It really depends on your build and personal style. Sometimes, what's in style at the moment may not be something you can carry well, as you said in the beginning. Personally, I'm going to have to stick with the skinnier-style jeans. :)

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

You go girl! 🙌🏻

[@edennis8578]

That's hardly a fair comparison. I would never describe skinny jeans as "long" because they're just ankle length, and I would rather die than be caught dead in "high-water" pants. I wear straight or boot-cut jeans and pants that hit the tops of my shoes, at the instep.

[@cynthiajohnston424]

@@edennis8578 Agree ! Your pant & jean styles are classics - suitable for women of all heights & body types . May need a slight variation in length depending on footwear . Personally , I'm at an age when flats or low heels / wedges are not only comfortable but practical , so virtually no pants to hem ! 🙂

[@verabozinovski2827]

Skinny jeans are the best to wear with knee-high boots, because they tuck in perfectly.

[@joyceyarb6860]

Very well said. I think what fits your body style is the most important aspect of choosing your own fashion.

[@teamginger6359]

Skinny jeans are the only thing I'd have trouble giving up. However I will wear them more casual & I discovered yet another way to update them, by wearing a blousy blouse, tucked in with sneakers of course! I've never liked much animal print or camo or metallic for that matter, so I'm good there! Thanks for the wonderful tips!

[@jennbidwelledwardson2885]

Thanks for the trend/off trend update! I don't follow fashion mush and rely on a few favorite KZbin channels to keep me straight. I'm not much of a trendy dresser, and I admit that a tunic style top over tight or skinny jeans is something I've enjoyed wearing especially in the past, it hasn't been a go-to this past year or so but I'm not quite ready to let go of my 3 faves. They’ll go to the back of the closet for now, with the skinny jeans until I decide whether they can go for good.

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Thanks so much for sharing, Jenn. 😊

[@IDreamOfWigs]

Thank you for the update on wardrobe do’s and dont’s. I’ve also heard that the cold-shoulder tops are a thing of the past, but everywhere I shop, there they are. I’ve been passing on them, but I have a LOT in my closet. I will tuck them away or maybe where with a jacket or oversized shirt. Fashion is FUN! Fashion is FUN! ❤

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Yeah, it’s interesting about the cold shoulder thing. I’ve been hearing mixed messages too. I think that’s because cut-outs are in, and for many women the only cut-out they feel comfortable wearing is the cold shoulder. I think a nice subset for that is a top that features some cut-outs at the collarbone instead.

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

Cold shoulder tops are out. Just like capri pants. They are not flattering. I bought a couple to stay with the trends but never really liked them. Every time I see a woman wearing one I sort of cringe.

[@s.barlow7062]

Thank goodness for the new sporty looks. Out with camo, yes!

[@janetshaffer423]

My memory went straight back to the seventies and eigbties when over-shirts were popular. Very informal look and comfortable as well. Your videos are so enjoyable.

[@saramaloney6082]

What a fun video thank you! I'm with you I'll just push them aside and will seem fresh down the road! Kay I heard your voice yesterday! I was getting dressed for a day of hospital appointments and I knew I would keep my jacket on, chilly in Ontario still!. I had an outfit I liked but then couldn't make a coat work with it. So I started with the coat! Switched the top and voila! I loved it. Dress from the outside in when keeping a coat on! Best advice ever thank you..

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Yay! 🙌🏻 I’m so glad that worked for you. Thanks so much for sharing. 💕

[@gailwilliams5278]

I’m more than slightly knock-kneed, which skinny jeans emphasized. The ‘ease’ in straight legs help to disguise that, as do bootcut and flared jeans. So glad to have options that are back in style!

[@signs9587]

Same here. Thought I was the only one who had this problem. Skinny jeans & leggings just emphasized the terrible shape of having knock knees.

[@daisiesandpandas1218]

Just realised I also have slight knock knees, but I wasn't conscious of hiding them, but I've noticed them and have odd moments we I'm like, mm, but I started noticing more lately because I'm adding shorter clothes to my wardrobe and I was trying to twist my knees a certain way to make leg look straight yesterday and I've just googled knock knees and now I know it's a thing. It's exactly doing that, my knees are facing a slight angle 😅. Hope I don't start thinking too much lol.

[@hollyangel5995]

Well I am a lover of all thing leopard print! I will put it away though until it comes back “IN”. Such great informative video Kay!! Blessings,

[@scotosha]

After installing and removing June’s Journey at least 5 times I finally discovered how it actually works ! I kept moving around in that same room, finding the same objects over and over and over again. Now I know how to do it I think it’s great fun ! Loved the tips, although … I realised I must have been out of fashion for quite some time 😂 … skinny jeans ? Camo ?? Animal print ??? Tunics ???! They never made it to my closet apparently. Instead I found out through your video (I refused to watch for quite some time because of the title😮) that I am a Coastal Grandmother 🤣🤣🤣. Do not live near the seaside. Do not have grandchildren nor children even and yet … yay ! My style had a name now. Thank you for that !

[@susanlarkin3790]

I must admit that I do lament some things as they go out of style. I loved my infinity scarves and invested in many.Easiest way to change basic dresses and tops. Therefore quite sad as they exited recently! I like the return of wider legs and variety of jeans, however. Your suggestions for what to wear “instead of” are great and very helpful!

[@susanhoneycutt5610]

Scarves are one of the items like jewelry that to me is personal choice. I love all different kinds and shapes of scarves. As we get older the skin our neck is less flattering. I like looking nice, not frumpy, yet at the same time I won’t chase fashion.

[@MZ-arch]

Thank you for your videos, they are always on-point! I looove the trend of straight leg jeans not too wide at the leg opening (though I'll still keep the skinnies for the future). I buy the ones with 1% elastane, not coming back to stiff jeans ever... I also buy them one size larger (I think this looks more elegant). I take the time to adjust the waist though, so I'm not constantly pulling up my looser jeans, using a simple hand-sewn trick learned from my daughter: I cut two slits in the inside of the waistband to pass an elastic all around the inside of the band, leave it sewn-in on one side, and a little elastic tail on the other side for adjusting the waist as needed, girls knot this end, I choose to sew a button on the adjustable side and add some slits to the elastic band to adjust as needed the days I need more room... The elastic is concealed and does not bunch up the waist at all. I'm not a fan at all of camouflage print, tunics or sweat pants, so I will not be missing them. I am loving the pants from Athleta that you feature in this and past videos. Will eventually consider buying.

[@colsen4616]

Great tips! I love how you show how to update what you have. I’ve always rotated items between storage and closet because most trends do come around again. The only things I’ve permanently purged from my stash are low cut jeans. Lol even though I’m slender, never again!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Hahaha! And I hear they’re coming back around. But not for me. 😉

[@carolwright2703]

Well, I guess I'm in luck! Camo print, animal print and skinny jeans have never been my thing. I do have some new metallic sandals for the Summer. I've also started using my oversized button up shirts the way you showed with a fitted top underneath, and I love that look. I think you showed that in your coastal grandmother video a while back. It even works when it's warm out so that I'm not too cold when I go into air-conditioned stores, yet it still looks breezy. I'm glad you talked about the way to style the scarves now too. I was just trying on a Talbots scarf yesterday, and the way they showed it tied online just didn't look relaxed at all. All good tips, Kay! And you always keep it fun! :)

I checked out the shoe companies you mentioned and unfortunately they all start at size 6, one company had a few styles in size 5.5 but I wear a size 5 and need a large toe box because of arthritis. Also, $360 for sneakers is just really out there in this economy. On the other hand, the outfits you're putting together are really nice.

In the past I have always assumed that if I saw a style in my favorite retail stores, then it's probably in-style. I never really paid attention to anyone saying something is in or out. That being said, I feel a bit more savvy when you tell us what's out for a season. I still may wear it though if it makes me feel good! And I know that's what you said to do. There are no fashion police in my neighborhood!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Yeah, stores will sell anything we are buying. But some of the favorite stores of us older ladies definitely continue to carry things that look quite dated simply because they know their clientele will buy them. But those are the very things that age and date us.

[@sharronwolfe7711]

Hi Kay! I replaced my skinny jeans with straight, flared and wide leg jeans. No leggings except for exercise, so out went the tunics. I’ve never been a camouflage fan, but I do love an army or olive green which I think is a great substitute for camo! Of course, stripes are always a great choice!

I will never be able to give up my joggers, as I work from home those are what I live in. But, I am not comfortable wearing them out for more than a quick errand, trip to the grocery store, etc. I love the more linen, cargo style with pockets for spending time out of the home.

[@cynthiathurman3108]

I'm going to pretend I didn't hear the suggestions about putting away the animal print. :) Honestly, leopard print in particular has been in and out of style so much, it is hard to keep track. It has been around so many years, you can almost put it in the classics category. I have seen old 40's and 50's movies where the actress might be seen with a leopard belt or purse, even a coat.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

About ten years ago I just felt frumpy and short-legged in everything I had, then I realized it was the tunic over leggings silhouette that was causing this. I gave away all my tunics, many of which were very nice, to a friend who is much taller and heavier, she wore them gladly. Getting rid of tunics was the best fashion move I ever made, I look so much slimmer and better-proportioned in tucked-in tops. I only wear leggings for around the house now, because my derrière isn’t covered in shorter tops.

[@kathiaemery6622]

Kimberly, I dress almost exclusively in leggings and tunics, and I'm short-legged and slightly heavier than I should be. I will dip a toe in the water of tucked-in tops after reading this! I'm 5'2" and weigh 145 with a curvy figure. Thanks for your comment!

Animal print actually is a classic, but you certainly don’t have to enjoy it. 😉

[@lindamcdermott9980]

I just happened upon your video. It is just what I needed. This weekend I am going to change my seasonal closet/wardrobe. Thanks for giving me permission to purge all those tunic tops. At 5’ tall, I never actually liked myself in them, but just kept them in an occasional rotation. They will be the first to go. I like my skinny jeans, tees and button shirt combos, so if needed I can build on those. I have 2 dark denim and 2 tan denim capris that fit well and work with my casual tops. Another big thank you is permission to toss all those infinity and extra scarves. I often comment that I have 50 years worth of accessories…. I’m 76, why am I hoarding them? Out! Out! …. Okay here is the question, for some reason, I bought several long dresses, I am not sure why, I thought they would feel casual, but instead, just frumpy…. Especially with those scarves. Keep in mind, I’m 76 and 5’ tall. No cute heels or shoes live here either. I am an artist, work at home, live alone, go to McDonalds and church…. Not exactly a socialite. What is your thought on dresses? I have long ones and short ones. How many is ‘enough’? I am also cutting back on cardigans, any guidelines? I feel so enlightened and liberated by this video, I hit like and subscribe and look forward to future ones.

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Hahaha! I love your attitude. Unless you love dresses, I’d let go of the ones you don’t feel beautiful in. You’d probably feel better in shorter ones and you may consider having one or two that you love hemmed to a better length. Let go of any cardigans that are especially long and bulky and keep those that fit closer to the body and hit you a little higher, since those will help you look a little taller and more slender. Have fun!

I’m struggling with the skinny jeans as I find it very hard to buy well fitting jeans for my skinny legs and larger waist. I have got one pair of slightly wider ones but can’t say I love them yet. I think straight cut might be the way to go so I’ll investigate a bit. I have already moved on from the heels to loafers or pumps. I like Toms actually. I found your video very interesting and food for thought. Thank you.

Good points! My husband was sitting here and commenting during your video, "Oh my wife knows all about tunics and black pants"!! He's no fashionista! I love fashion and have been feeling these new trends coming! Thanks Kay!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Thanks for watching, Gwen. 😉

Thanks Kay! Love June s Journey

I was so happy when jumpsuits came back! I felt the best about myself when wearing them. 🩷🌷🦋🤗

[@Rainbowlorikeetbebe]

Thankyou Kay. I loved everything you said. Loved your accent too. Best wishes from Saint Hubert's Island, Australia 😘

Good points - never liked camo - never understood why someone who wasn't in the military or a hunter would want to wear it! I have a very thick waist/midriff (not stomach), so wearing an oversized shirt over a tank is a good look, although I will button it part way down, as showing my middle is not! I think I will probably still keep wearing a couple of animal print pieces (maybe a belt, small scarf), and will keep one pair of grey skinnies!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Good plan. Thanks so much for sharing, Fiona. 💕

[@skininthegame60]

Thanks Kay! All good! I’ve upgraded a lot! No frump here!😀❤️

[@marilynleslie472]

I love your black and white checkered Talbots coat! I bought one as well and just love it!

[@petergeorge4415]

It is so appreciated that you give options ¨ instead of ¨; it does not bring us to such a panicky mode (laughter) and it is helping to figure out what to take from our closet. Thank you so much Ms Kay! Have a beautiful week! helene :)

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Thanks, Helene. 🥰

[@valentineyoung-sg5vp]

I love your new hairstyle. So youthful and really suits you. ❤

[@ldavies3280]

Those colours really suit you. You look bright and very well rested.

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Thank you. 🥰

I wear jeans that I have had for years. If they hadn't worn out, I would be wearing jeans I bought decades ago. I wear what makes me comfortable. From remarks I receive from men and other women, it does not seem to be a problem with them and it certainly is not a problem for me. Attitude is more important than style.

[@Latte528]

I love all of your tips! So helpful! I really like the oversized shirt 👕 with the tank underneath. I haven’t ever worn that trend, but I would love to try it. I also love how Metallics are coming back.

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Great! Thanks so much. 🥰

[@terrigodmother]

The oversized button up shirts were worn by all the "in" teens in the 50's. What goes around, comes around! (A good reason for putting favorites away, but not getting rid of them)

[@chrishoush9385]

Kay just wanted to say you look great in the colors your wearing.

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Thank you. 💕💙

[@mordikai100]

I don't like skinny jeans. So I don't have any. I will continue to wear my leopard print which isn't a lot but other styles you mentioned, I do have! Thanks!🥰

I love the more elevated lounge wear because I always feel better when I’m out with the dog or running to the grocery store early in the morning. I try to find nice lounge wear from Chico’s and I look for the items that have a nice style twist to them. Like the cut on a jacket or pockets on the pants. 😊 Kay, I strolled into Talbots today and found the cutest lounge set from their Haven line and it was on sale. I need to get back there I saw so many cute outfits ‼️‼️💕😂🛍️

[@kathydilorenzo9744]

I love the pictures with your long, beautiful hair!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Well I was five years younger there. 🤣😂🤣

[@jeanetterichardson2287]

I have always liked the boot cut. I’m short and it balanced me with jacket or boy cut shirt. I like the wider leg with in reason. Also moderate everything not a trendy.

[@HOlsen-xe1xy]

Your hair looks really good shorter than long.

[@kristinj7173]

I just ordered 4 pairs of joggers from Banana Republic a few days ago (on sale) so I sure hope they work as elevated versions😊. Probably still better than knit elastic waistband lounge pants, eh? I totally agree with the rest of the list of what’s out...and glad I never embraced those trends.

[@odalysnocera8174]

I’ve never been an oversized shirt gal but I prefer a cool cardigan

[@angelirohival6270]

Hmmm… not sure. Oversized would make look frumpy and old. I don’t need additional help with that. But, thanks for the video

[@judymcbrine6523]

I love your videos and blogs! You're a great fashion role model and very inspirational for women like me who want to stay current with our wardrobe.

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Thanks Judy. I’m so glad you enjoy my content. That means a lot to me.

[@glammiecullivan6747]

Great advice. I think I own all those out of date things except the camo. I love that you gave tips to save my skinny jeans since I can't seem to part with them. I only feel the pain about putting away my animal prints but I'll be brave and put them in a cage or something. Thanks for keeping us current!

[@Sandra-bx6yy]

🤣😀

[@brendataylor5889]

I have some tunics in a pile (for awhile) to give away ..,so this is the encouragement I needed to let them go. Keeping my animal print shoes 😊

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Perfect. Thanks for sharing, Brenda. 😊

[@kathylindsey3448]

I’m watching you today while walking on my treadmill, wearing older skinny jeans and workout top! They’ve also made great hiking and long walks with dog pants!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

There ya go! 🙌🏻

[@carolthompson302]

In my opinion scarves are very matronly. So are long shirts with a tee or tank underneath.

[@christinebrooker5050]

For some occasions a tunic top looks better dressed than a long open shirt, which looks too casual. Guess it's time to wear dresses 🤔. Thanks Kay for the inspiration.

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

I agree that an oversized shirt is not always the best choice for every occasion. But definitely try wearing some other modern choices instead of the tunic tops. Thanks so much for watching. 😊

[@dianethompson6804]

I never liked skinny jeans, so I'm not sorry to see those go. I like the idea of more dressed up joggers.

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Thanks for sharing, Diane. 😊
