I cannot understand why anyone would give you a negative review. I love your videos. I always find you so kind, respectful and joyful. Please keep posting. I turned 60 this year but do not look my age. I am always searching for stylish ideas that are “age appropriate” but still fun and classic. You hit that mark for sure. Keep posting...YOU are a blessing.
I am 62 and i wear shorts , dresses, and skirts all the time...our climate is so very hot hitting triple digits during the summer months so i never even think about jeans or long pants during this time, but it is wonderful that you are offering viewers other options...great job!!
Thanks to your video, I took another look at a pair of neutral (stone-coloured) capris I was thinking of retiring to a second-hand clothing shop, which is where I found them originally several years ago. With the styling you showed in the video, I've discovered I can wear them with a lovely soft green crop sleeveless top and a dainty pearl necklace I bought years ago. It's a brand new look and I can't wait to wear the outfit. I also pulled out some navy ankle summer pants and styled it with a white linen blazer I had stored away after I retired. I'm excited to wear those summer classics with some colourful tops that I had not considered with the white and blue pieces. I had not recognized these options till watching your other videos! So, in short, you've provided me with inspiration to pull together several new spring and summer outfits. Thank you so much for your honest, candid delivery. I appreciate how you put together older pieces with new ones.
I am in my eighties and did not wear shorts when I was young so those days are long gone I am a huge fan of dresses .sun dresses and a top if needed and I live southern srizona
Great tips Kay! I donated all but one pair of shorts this year and switched to skirts and casual dresses. This video was for me as I'm always looking for other options to shorts!
Excellent ideas. I wear cropped pants and midi dresses/skirts. I also the the T shirt dress. Shorts are something I reserve for kayaking and cycling! Enjoy your videos. Thank you
Maxi dresses are hot in the summer. So many of the options you suggested are hot for the summer. They are ok in air conditioning, Shorts or skirt and knee length summer dress are the best options. 😄
Light cotton and linen maxi dresses, especially if you can unbutton at the bottom are very airy. Shorts or skirt and knee length summer dresses may be the best option for you, but not for everyone.
Here in Louisiana where the heat and humidity can be a killer, the best thing to wear in the summer are Lilly Pulitzer t-shirt dresses. Cool, wrinkle free, and paired with a straw bag and sandals you look suitable for anything.
Awesome video and options, thank you!! Would love more options either to stay away from shorts in summer or how is best to style them taking the attention off the legs 😬😘
Ver eat video! I love the denim skirt with pink sweater. I agree about chinos too. I find them cooler than denim jeans although I still love my jeans. I live on the coast so it gets hot so I don't wear linen but I do love the white linen pants.
I have really good legs, but I didn't wear shorts this last summer, I’m not sure why. I suppose it’s because they’re not as comfortable as my skirts and dresses and I discovered comfortable -waist linen trousers this year, which are as cool as shorts and protect from the sun, also. Great looks, Kay, thanks.
Please tell me about what you have on in this video! Great tips!! I am thinking that Talbots is a place that I need to shop more because they are geared towards the mature woman. You did a great job on this!!
Hi Ginger. Thanks so much. I’m wearing a summer sweater I got at Talbots in early spring. Unfortunately it’s gone already. I don’t really like how it looks in this video. I’m wearing black shorts with it, but of course you can’t see those. 😉
Start with getting a little sun tan and use moisturizer everyday use a light weight and you will be surprised how just a little bit of exercise for the arms will make a huge difference. Hope this helps.
Nice options and well presented. Would you mind telling us what size you wear and how tall you are? I'm 5 ft. 4 in but have a long waist and short legs....makes it difficult to style certain items. So glad I found your channel.
Yes loved all of your suggestions. I already have several of these in my closet from recent years. However my favorite is wearing a short skirt or skort are skorts still in? Also nice that you said knee skimming skirt. Where do you find them? Everywhere I have seen spring skirts coming out have skirts that are way too short for my taste. Please help.
I ordered a black skirt / skort from athleta. It is that stretchy athletic fabric. I ordered it in long (I’m average height) so it hits just above my knees.
I ordered a bunch of midi skirts and I also bought a denim skirt. I’m in Georgia and I want to stay cool and look nice. I haven’t gotten some of them yet. So I’m waiting patiently. I just wear denim Bermuda’s. My thighs look terrible. And I can’t wear denim in the summer. Maybe in the evening when it cools down. The weather here is different in Ohio we I lived for 59 years until moving to Georgia. I came because my grandkids are here. But the evenings seem to cool down and they’re less humid at night. We went to some of the kids games in the evening and I took a jacket. When my oldest granddaughter played ball in the summer. We would go and just swelter at her games. And they were at 9:00 pm. Down here it’s cool by then. The weather people talk about how humid it is, in Georgia. But it’s nothing like the humidity in Ohio. My hair would frizz there. And it’s looking good down here in Georgia. Sorry for being so long. I know you’re from Georgia, and moved to Ohio. And you will find for yourself what I’m talking about. Great video. I love your choices, other than denim during the day.
I’m really not sure why your choices are being billed as alternatives to shorts. Shorts are shorts. Your options are not. Fine, wear crops or maxi skirts or dresses. I don’t understand your message.
Hmm. I guess I don’t understand yours either. The point is some women don’t want to wear short or they want to wear other things besides shorts during the summer but be cool. These are options. That’s all. There is no message.

Thanks for sharing Monique. 😊
Tossed all my shorts & capris years ago, they look frumpy on my short body. Now I wear skorts, skirts & dresses, wear what you like & be happy
Capris are the worst.
Just found you and like you video about different Options besides shorts. You're a very lovely woman! I enjoy your soft demeanor. 😉

This was the first video of yours that I have seen. So many great tips! Happy to see pedal pushers are back. Loved all your looks. Thanks!

Hi, Kay! I also live in Ohio! I discovered your channel today and enjoy it very much!
Hello Nancy. Great to meet you. I’m so glad you are enjoying my videos. Thanks so letting me know. 🥰
Me too and binge watched all your videos! Love them!
Really love your style and makeup!
Love shorts, but four surgeries on my lower leg and ankle due to a car accident 2 years ago changed that. New subscriber!
Please tell me about what you have on in this video! Great tips!! I am thinking that Talbots is a place that I need to shop more because they are geared towards the mature woman. You did a great job on this!!
Hi Ginger. Thanks so much. I’m wearing a summer sweater I got at Talbots in early spring. Unfortunately it’s gone already. I don’t really like how it looks in this video. I’m wearing black shorts with it, but of course you can’t see those. 😉
This is a good video, thanks for sharing. I also just found you. Good job.
Would you do a fall collection?
You look fantastic! I can not show my arms giggly flabby any advice? please
Start with getting a little sun tan and use moisturizer everyday use a light weight and you will be surprised how just a little bit of exercise for the arms will make a huge difference. Hope this helps.
I love wearing cute sundresses.
Nice options and well presented. Would you mind telling us what size you wear and how tall you are? I'm 5 ft. 4 in but have a long waist and short legs....makes it difficult to style certain items. So glad I found your channel.
Hi Marie. I’m 5’8” and generally wear a medium. Thanks for watching. I’m glad you are enjoying the channel. 😊
@@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms Thank you. It's so much easier to style clothes when you're tall.🙂
Yes it really is. I realize that being tall is indeed a blessing.
Love the video and the ideas! Unfortunately, most items listed are already sold out!!! Need other sources for similar items!
Hi Jan. Yes that video is from last summer. New warm weather videos coming this next week! 😊
I hate wearing shorts because of my veiny legs, thanks for the great suggestions 👍🏼
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for letting me know. 😊
You could use tattoo cover makeup and enjoy shorts again.
Yes loved all of your suggestions. I already have several of these in my closet from recent years. However my favorite is wearing a short skirt or skort are skorts still in?

Great video!
How did I miss this in the summer? I used to love shorts but feel I’m far too old now so this video will be great next year
Wonderful! And I’m sure I’ll do another one next summer too. 😉
I’ve just reread my own crazy comment . Am I implying that by next summer I’ll be younger than I am now and therefore racing around in shorts ?
It is the arms of mature women that need to be covered.
Will be going with my family and grandkids and son in law, for a week in 100+ weather. I have never worn shorts due to my overweight, my legs are 😬
Just have a wonderful time with your family. 🥰
New viewer here. Just love your style.
Thanks so much Ruth. I appreciate you saying so. ☺️
I always have bruises on my legs so nothing above the calf
What exactly are chinos?
What we sometimes call khaki pants. But they can actually come in any color, not just khaki. Here’s a link to my favorites. rstyle.me/cz-n/e7mdbpchvkf
Wonderful
Hi,thank you for sharing i love it
You bet! 🥰

Hi Pam. Thanks so much for sharing. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’m with you. I don’t wear jeans much during the summer either. 😉
Always hated shirts even when I was younger and thinner. Just never looked right.
Thank you. I hate wearing shorts!
I have psoriasis on my legs so can't wear anything but pants, jeans, or maxi dresses.
Well fortunately there are some great, cool options these days. 💕
Skirts are nice because they give u coverage and look like a skirt. Not a caprii or clam digger fan.
That first dress has stripes going across, which makes you look wider than you are. I wouldn't wear that unless I was very thin. Good options, though.
I thought that was true also, until I tried one on. Surprisingly the dress was very flattering.
Now do a shorts video, because that is still the best to wear in summer.
The comments are cover the pictures
Kay sounds just like Michelle Duggar, sweet soft voice
Athleta linen jogger
I really like you.
Thank you! ☺️
Don't forget the skort and culottes
I guess when you have a car and don't have to physically haul groceries ......
Xxxxx
I’m really not sure why your choices are being billed as alternatives to shorts. Shorts are shorts. Your options are not. Fine, wear crops or maxi skirts or dresses. I don’t understand your message.
Hmm. I guess I don’t understand yours either. The point is some women don’t want to wear short or they want to wear other things besides shorts during the summer but be cool. These are options. That’s all. There is no message.
NO to capris. So unattractive on women and so out style.
