I’m glad you mentioned that you can substitute another dark color, like navy. I have never been able to wear black. I’m fair (hair, eyes, skin) and black seems to overwhelm me, but navy doesn’t have the same effect.

I am also very fair and blue eyed. My grandmother always use the word severe for black being so harsh on me. She would tell me that a certain color looked too severe. I love that description.
I really enjoy your videos, I prefer to thrift most of my clothes for environmental reasons and your tips still work for me as they give me ideas on what to look for in the thrift stores. Thanks for the inspiration.
I absolutely love black, always have, always will. I try to incorporate pop colors too. Thanks for some new tips to try! Love your channel!
These are all great ideas! I have dark eyes and silver hair, so black is a staple for me! 🖤

Yes! Sounds like a great match for your coloring.
I always had dark hair and strong contrast in my coloring. Black has always been a staple color in my wardrobe. Because I have more of an apple shape, I find that wearing black or other dark colors on top helps me balance proportions better. These are nice tips!
Loved the black floral top and pink cardigan. Black isn’t my best color, so I love wearing it w/ pearls, red lipstick or a flattering scarf.

@@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms 💞Yes, that particular combo looked ultra feminine & attractive on you🎉! I am such a minimalist when it comes to color or pattern. Unless on a scarf tied about my neck, I dislike busyness about my face. Don't mind an animal print so much bcos it usually contains a lot of black to anchor it. Tartan is about the only other pattern I can wear with any consistency. At least when it is on a bottom (skirt or trouser). Plaid can make me feel feisty & sometimes edgy. It never makes me either too girlish or matronly like florals. Will sometimes do a vertical stripe on bottom, but can NEVER stand it on top. 🛍️Colors can seem so pretty & appealing in the store. Stopped buying knowing the odds are I will never end up putting them on🤣. All this to say that I once bought a similar colored 💘pink blouse. Along with a blush pink, pale yellow, & taupe blouse with short cap sleeves and buttons. 😉You're inspiring me to pull them out to try as a topper with either all black or navy. 💚 Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
I used to have a neighbor who wore black; it was gorgeous with her white hair. She always looked so chic.
I love black, too. Most of my clothes are black. I've a new black midi dress in silk/linen from Wrap London, so stunning. I've long, white hair and wear black dresses or skirts with white sneakers...that's a contrast! Hello from Germany.
I've always loved black and have alot in my wardrobe. I especially love it with my salt and pepper hair ... Thanks for wonderful videos 💚

Another great video! I like black all year too, but especially in the summer because we don't have to hide it under jackets and heavy coats. Black and white works for me, and you have provided great tips here! Thank you for all the work you do to bring us such helpful videos each week!
I Love wearing black too ☺️🙋♀️
Good morning Kay, black has been my staple color for years. I accent it minimally with other colors. My favorite outfit is a black sleeveless sheath dress with a light blue cardigan. So stylish and classic. Love this video. Melissa 🌼
I love black. I can't get away from it. Black pants just are great with everything.
I love your tips, Kay. As a fair-skinned redhead black tops have been out of my comfort zone. You’ve inspired me to give it a try. Thanks!

Hello Lisa, have you ever tried tops that are black backgrounds but have a print on them? Maybe like a flower pattern, or stripes, paisley print, animal prints are great too. I believe that might work. Best for you is to find your colour palette season.enjoy your shopping trip 😁

As a fair skinned redhead, you are probably a spring or fall, and black would make your skin look sallow. When I stopped wearing summer colors, and started wearing winter colors like I’m supposed to, I got TONS of compliments and it was really fun because people knew I looked really good, but they didn’t know why. Find a color on the season that is yours, and you will glow.

Hey Lisa, With your fair-skin and red hair, a top with your warm colors and a touch of black background would work. Also, wearing black away from your face is a definite way to go. Black pants, etc with an ivory blouse would be beautiful along with your warm tone tops! Hope this helps.

Well as a beautiful redhead yiu can do a deep deep forest green, or a dark purple or burgundy or chocolate brown instead if you dont want to do black.

I lived in London for quite a long time - and discovered the amazing Jean Muir. She designed timeless pieces that stand the test of time (I still wear them 25 years later). One of her best kernels of advice, was to substitute Navy for black as we get older: It is softer on our complexions, and I do choose Navy for any clothing near my face! 👍🙋♀️🇺🇸🥰

Thank you, Kay. I so agree with you about black. It has always been one of my favorite colors to wear. As I get older, I have been trying to get away from it and wear more lighter colors. But really, you are correct, black is a great choice, even for Summer. Kay, you are so cute today talking about black, so enthusiastic, it is making me smile along with you. ;-) BTW, I have an animals print Tee shirt on with black joggers and when my husband saw me, he asked me if I was going somewhere. He thought I was dressed up. So you are right about how they look together. :-)
They are all great tips. My colouring is very high contrast as you described and I wear black and white a lot in summer, usually with green jewellery, such as emeralds and/or Tahitian pearls, as I have green eyes.
Enjoyed your post today - thanks! As I sit here in black trousers and a cheetah print jumper lol.
Thank you. I especially liked the black vest/green pants!
Black works well my skin tone. It’s classic and elegant. It allows for adding pops of color. Thanks for your tips!🛍🥰

I also bleed red & black (UGA ‘77), but I’ve never liked to wear red… SO I was thrilled when, in 2007 our Dawgs were hosting Auburn, and we heard that the game was a “blackout” - no red allowed, and everyone - even players - were all wearing black. I loved it and have given myself permission since then to keep the red to my accessories and just wear black! Go Dogs!!!

I just found your channel & immediately subscribed:) I am 51 & looking forward to doing some binge watching of your videos, I can tell already there will be a lot of useful information:) I do wear black in summer in capris but navy seems to be more my go to. Thank u for sharing!
📸 Lovely Lookbook! 💥 Black is such a power color. As soon as I put it on, I feel instantly vibrant and ready to take on the world🌎. 😉You look 💫spectacular💫 in the black dresses! Also like your other combinations, esp. the animal print. Gotta get me some kind of a 🐍 snake or 🦓 zebra print down the road. 🌟Sometimes a topper can add such drama. 💕Love your cardigans & kimono. A more body-conturing tank or t-shirt really flatters my figure, but I prefer to do that under something. Feel more comfy giving a 👀peek-a-boo impression of shape. 🖤Love how you rock a sassy statement t-shirt! Seem to be drawn to them nowadays. I wear more skirts, and have a wide variety on hand from more formal office times too. Enjoy the contrast of a cheeky saying or interesting graphic knotted at the waist with a more classic skirt. Like the whimsy as well as the juxtaposition of casual & formal. 🙏 God bless you!🕊️ 💚 Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

Kelly York In the SE, it is sooo very hot, and it almost never stops raining. ( Hurricane season, tornado season, constant precipitation in winter...,all getting worse every year. ) Even if it appears to be a day without rain, the humidity is so high here in summer that it might as well be raining because you will be covered in a thin film of “dampness” that you can rake off with your hand. The nape of your neck and scalp are drenched within several mins. of being outside. In thirty to fifty years, weather experts say many parts of the Southern US will be uninhabitable. Yet, most of the clothing that is reasonably priced is now synthetic. Try wearing synthetic fibers in this kind of weather. It’s like being wrapped in plastic wrap in 90 plus degree weather. Actually, it can be deadly. If you’re wearing black here, it had better be inside in air conditioning all day. Best to stick to light, airy fabrics...and natural fibers. Thanks for all you do.
I really love black so classic
Some great ideas thank you

In the summer I avoid wearing black during the day because it draws all the heat in the sun, on hot days; I much prefer lighter colours or even navy which is not as dark, and keep black for cooler evenings. Black can be so nice, but I also avoid all-black outfits (except for a chic dress or casual black jeans and t-shirt) as they tend to remind me of funerals. Maybe because I live in Greece where it's still a strong tradition for women who are grieving.
I love your options!!!😊👍🏻🤗
Great tips Kay! I looked for the link for your straw bag. It is stunning!
I’ve always loved black for evening but not daytime, it’s a bit draining for blondes. But you do suit it I must admit.

I wear a cup size H and I size up to fit the bust, sometimes two or three sizes. Cinch in the waist with a belt or have it altered. I never bother altering, I just cinch the waist, if necessary. I like the extra room around the hips. Also, double-sided tape made for clothes can keep the top shut. I love wrap tops and dresses. I have lots of them.
I can’t find the arrow or the show more button. How can I find more examples of the outfits?
Really cute outfits with black, and tips. I cannot find the link for the black stripped zebra top that you showed. How do I find this top? I am a winter with the color pallet and black and white look really good on me. I also like navy and white as you suggested if you are not into black and white or all black.

Black looks awful on pasty me, but I love it, so I just modify it near my face. I use a white collared shirt under, a light-colored scarf, or even light or sparkly jewelry like pearls. I also add more makeup, especially blush. I don’t like wearing it in the hot sun, but it’s great for indoors or evenings in summer. Black might not be flattering, but it’s always chic.
