Thank you so much for watching today's video!
~ Kay - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Always been a fan of classic white shirts. They are beautiful on everyone. Love the styling tips.
Wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing Christy. 😉
You can get no-iron shirts that don’t have polyester, both in cotton and linen, these have a surface-treatment instead to prevent wrinkling (I think it’s a type of resin). That way, most of the comfort and breathability of the natural fiber is maintained, unlike those with poly in them, which get hot and sweaty.
I feel like everything old is new again. This is how I dressed in the late 80's and early 90's. I should have kept my clothes! I still like the look. Thank you the video-- nice style for the warmer weather.
Same here! but I started wearing them in the mid 70s as a teen, short-sleeved or long-sleeved were so popular already. One of my favourite was actually oversized, crispy white, it belonged to my big brother :)
Even just “shirt” is what people used to call it, the button-up part was only added in the last generation or two. Somehow, the button-down for the collar part got last, but I always knew the difference, it’s only the collar (in college I worked styling in the men’s department at Macy’s). I love them, they look so crisp and polish, but prefer knit tops for comfort if I’m going to be just at home. I love the classics like the shirt.
I love that you’re embracing the looser jeans. I’m only wearing skinnies tucked into knee-high boots nowadays.
thank you for clarifying the difference between a button front/up shirt and a button down shirt. I hear others calling a button front a button down all the time when the shirt they are showing is not a button down at all. Love your channel and all the great fashion tips and ideas.
Hahaha! Well no harm no foul. But it is good to be in the know! 😉
Good morning Kay. My full-size figure will not allow me to wear jeans comfortably. I wear these classic shirts over a sleeveless straight dress. I find it more complimentary for my figure. It looks very smart and put together. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
Melissa
Great to hear Melissa. That sounds stunning. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Lovely outfits!
Thanks, Kay, you are such a great stylist.
Really enjoyed the video! Great job, everything was something I would wear and it looked so comfortable. The shoe tip was helpful.
Great to hear. Thanks for watching Yvonne. 😊
I so appreciate all the options you showed. I also appreciated the thinking behind how to style each outfit. That is so helping me learn!
Wonderful! Thanks for letting me know. 💕
I’ve always been a fan of the button down shirt. My neck is long so just feels more flattering on me. I just purchased a Uber long white poplin button down for use over leggings. This way I can be modest and classy, all at the same time! Thanks for the channel
Love all these looks, love how the “shirt” looks with each outfit. Thanks for showing and explaining each outfit. Enjoy seeing the different shoes with each look too. The white tennis shoes are a must, I think!
Hi Martha. Yes I love white sneakers for spring! 🌸
I bought my twin daughters each their first white button up shirt for Christmas. They both have a lot of zoom calls with professors right now. Never to soon to start a classic wardrobe!
What a wonderful gift! 💕
Oh my goodness, I am going to be a happy camper. The last two looks are me and I am going to be trendy for the first time in a long time!
Woohoo!! 🙌🏻
Always so classy and beautiful. Thank you!!!
Thank you. 🥰
Like the way you wore that scarf around the collar!❤looks really smart
Such a wonderful video! I love the way you describe your thinking process and also seeing you wear the outfits. Your video format is very helpful. Thank you!
Wonderful! Thanks for letting me know.
Enjoyed all the options shown. Nice to have choices again in jeans!
I absolutely agree. And it’s fun to get a little more comfortable. 😉
Love this classic look. You wear it well! Enjoyed.
Thank yo Teresa. 🥰
Dziękuję bardzo za ciekawe wideo. Daje mi to inspirację na ciekawy styl i szyk 👍😍🇵🇱👍
Such great ideas, Kay! I was glad to know that I "needed" a silky scarf for spring, and wore the teal one with butterflies that I have just purchased from Dollar Tree today! It's still cool enough in the morning, and sometimes mid-morning that the breezes need to be kept out! Thanks for all you bring to us here! Hugs!
Perfect!
Thank you for this, it is very helpful. You are so stylish you are an inspiration to me to get out of my sweats !
Wonderful! Thanks so much for watching Brigid. 🥰
Thanks for some great reminders and new tips on the button up shirt!
You bet!
Silk shirts are great, too, especially under itchy sweaters. Except in very hot weather.
Absolutely. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Kimberly. 🥰
very nice styles! love the classic shirts! love your videos! Thanks for sharing!
You bet! Thanks so much for watching. 😊
Love your hair in this video
Love your ideas! Have a fabulous Wednesday! Thanks Kay! :-)
Thank you Laura. 😊
I enjoyed your video about the button up shirts. I have just purchased two and I love them. Thanks for the tips
Wonderful! Enjoy! 🌸
I have the Talbots "Perfect Shirt", and it's fabulous, so versatile. Thank you for your content, I'm so thrilled to have found your channel and blog!
Great! Thanks for sharing. 😊
Love the styles you have in the video. So many options. Off to shop my closet for my Charter Club and Foxcroft button up shirts.😃
Great! Thanks for watching! 😊
Great video! Thanks for the tips!!
You bet! Thanks for sharing. 😊
Great ideas which are helpful for every figure type and age “over 50”.
Wonderful!
Great suggestions Kay! If I were a classic dresser, I would definitely add a button up shirt to my closet.
Thanks so much for watching Ginger. 🥰
Thank you! I'm going to dig out my white "button up" shirt and try these out! BTW your top and jacket in this video are on point!
Thanks for watching Allie. 😊
Your my favorite stylist, anything you model, is something I wear or would like to have in my closet ❤️
Ahh, thanks so much Christine. I’m very glad you enjoyed the video. 😌
Everything looked great! I have to shop in the men's department for button up shirts. The men's size small is a perfect fit!
I wore a classic button up today in a nice soft pink with dark wash straight jeans and snake print sneakers. I felt comfortable and trending plus the shows brought some Joy to me!!!
That sounds so chic. Love it!
Ooooh...i loved learning something new! 😁
Wonderful! 🥰
Great tips. Love your style :)
Thank you.
Thank you! I put a shirt on and I have felt overwhelmed/frumpy. Your breakthrough idea for me was to concentrate on the SHOE....and let it set a tone or be a focal point. Great idea! Plus, your visuals of the tucked vs. untucked really show how you can look overwhelmed, versus trimmer.
Great. Thanks so much for watching. 🥰
Thank you
You ROCK the collar up!
Hahaha! Thank you!
@@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms You're welcome!
I'm a new subscriber and am enjoying your content! Great ideas that will help me "spruce up" my outfits while being comfortable going back into the classroom. Take care!
Absolutely! Thanks so much for watching and for subscribing Lorraine. 🌸
call me old fashioned, but I like a fitted or semi-fitted shirt the over sized or billowing shirt looks like a tent to me LOL!!
Not a problem. There are choices for all of us! 😉
I agree. I don’t like the oversized look either.
I agree. I like the more fitted shirts on myself but the loose fit ones look good on some people.
Right! I want to show I still have a figure!
I agree and also if your clothes are too big it just looks terrible
This has been the classic look for years and years. The French tuck is new and very nice! I don’t like mom jeans because they always bag on me.
Lov your ideas. I'm a summer white jeans gal.
🙌🏻 Thank so much for watching, Carol. 😊
I did enjoy waching your videos, I just got two men shirts white a blue stripes, I love it👏🏻plus all your ideas👍🏻
Great! Thanks so much for watching. 😊
Good Morning Kay!
Loving the ideas for the white shirt. Great look for spring and so versatile. I don't think I could wear the baggy jeans.
Fortunately there are plenty of options for us all. Thanks so much for watching Diane. 🥰
I really like the looser pant. I have shirts exactly like these in my closet. I’ve usually tied them or wear them loose. I never thought of adding a scarf but it completes the outfit. This is usually a spring look for me with sandals. I like my red plaid with white jeans too.
Those sound like a great combo. Thanks so much for watching Eve. 😊
Well, I recently donated my over-sized white button up shirt, right before it started to trend! I do have the Talbots no iron shirts, both white, in long sleeved and sleeveless. Talbots also has a no-iron tunic style that's a little looser, so that might be something I pick up to participate in this trend. I enjoyed all of your style options. You are always a wealth of ideas!!
Thanks so much for watching Karen. 😊
Thank a lot your ideas is great!! I'm d kind of person who always wear sporty clothes and I don't know what to do if I go out semi formal place!! So thank u very much
This button up shirt is so versatile. Can be dressed up or down. 😉
Great ideas.
I need to buy some white t-shirts.
Such a basic. You’ll love having them! 😊
Love the white shirt but hard pass on the 2021 "Mom" jeans! 🙂 I'd bet in the near future, these jeans will be cited as what not to wear if you want to look youthful.
Hi from Gibraltar. I loved this vlog. Not one for shirts as I hate collars but I think I'll try some of these looks. Thanks.
Wonderful!
Another great video with lots of styling choice. I too, am not a fan of the short, looser fitting "mom' jeans but prefer that look in a cotton, coloured capri. I absolutely love the look of a crisp white blouse/shirt and just as much, hate the feel of crisp cotton; unfortunately a knitted top does not give the same look so I will compromise and put a cotton shirt over a knit tank or short sleeved top. Thanks again Kay :)
Great ideaa
I did not realize there was a difference between a button up and button down shirt. Great thing to learn today.
Right?!?! 😉
All of the outfits look wonderful, and I plan on copying several of them. I wonder if tying the scarf higher in the oversized blue/white striped-shirt-and-skinny-jean outfit--so the bottom falls mid-chest--would draw the eyes away from the hip area? Thank you for the video!
With a large bust but narrow to normal shoulders, it’s hard to find a good fit, but ones with bust darts are out there. I found a great no-iron linen one last year.
Where??? I can’t find a shirt with bust darts. All those straight ones just don’t work.
Here’s the fitted shirt at Talbots. rstyle.me/cz-n/e4mgcfchvkf
@@missmayflower I got the fitted white button up from Talbots.
Just this morning I was wondering if scarves were just for winter, but no, I loved the look of the skinnies with an oversized shirt and scarf.
Yes, I’m wearing a pretty scarf today! 🥰
Great ideas. Did you size down on Gap oversized shirt?
I love your videos! Do you have any tips for a pear shaped woman? I’m 5’7”, am slender all over except my thighs and bootie.
Another helpful video from you, Kay. I, like some of the others who have posted here, stay away from the oversized shirts because I'm top heavy and those styles emphasize this--so I do prefer the tuck in look. For the oversized ones I do have, I add a scarf ring to the bottom of the shirt to cinch it in. What do you think of those?
Sounds like a great idea. Thanks for sharing. 🥰
A classic white button up shirt is essential in every persons wardrobe, man, woman, and child. I think.
I like you’re thinking! 💕
Great Channel for me..I'm 62 but look and represent 40! I dress Classic/elegant neutrals only and pastels. I don't wear Reds or any other bright colors, even? Except for in my scarves..Thank you for your Channel👍
Love your videos, Kay! What do you wear inside your loafers? Footies? Nothing? I usually go with baby powder because footies seem so bulky in summer. Thanks!
Hi Lynda. Yeah, I don’t wear anything generally. I do have some foot powder in my closet for when I need it. 😉
Love a white shirt. No need to add more other than a blazer. I broke up with skinny jeans a couch of years ago. I’ve never looked back!
Thanks for sharing Robyn. I wear mine a lot less frequently too. 😉
@@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms Thank you but I. Not sure what a couch of years is?🤔I meant a couple. I love the ‘40’s throw back of the fuller jeans. It reminds me of a movie we watched called “The Dig”
I like big jeans, and I cannot lie! So tired of seeing bodies of any size compressed in stretchy denim. Great advice, thank you!
You can never have too many white shirts of any kind! I have so many I don’t even know the count!
I've always heard these called shirts in UK, because it's what they are, shirts :) In France we call them chemises (for men) and chemisiers (for women) which are the translation of shirt. I hear Americans use "shirt" for simple T-shirts or blouse,s and button down or up shirts for shirts.. So confusing, to :) I've always loved and worn shirts for as long as I can remember (decades). So chic, effortless, comfortable and flattering!
Thanks for sharing Bri. 😊
I loved the skinny jeans with the blousy button up shirts either loose with a scarf of tucked in. So classy. Not so much with the baggy or balloon style jeans. I have skinny legs and they would make me look like I was wearing my dad's jeans. Not very flattering to me. I don't think this trend will be around long. Too sloppy. Sorry, just my opinion, but thanks for all the ideas you give us. I know you go to a lot of work to do your blog.
Thanks so much for watching Sherry. 🥰
Yes thank you for this video love a white shirt still love my high waist skinny jeans and a straight jean not liking the full leg one ☝🏽 because they do not like me.😂
Hahaha! Well I just keep trying on pair after pair. Hahaha! Thanks so much for watching. 💕
I had a button-up back in 2003 & wore it to death. It was oversized & thin stripes. Hoping to find a replacement. Today, I'd wear a cami beneath. Living in FL just screams wearing lite layers (to me).
Great ideas. Thanks Kate.
What size do you wear in the Talbots shirt and the Chicos shirt Kay? You are 5’8” and I am 5’9” and i would like to know which one has the longest sleeves also? Thank you!
Lovely ! Glad I found this channel where do you buy your clothes if you don't mind me asking.? I never know what to buy or what looks good anymore
Thanks. There are links to everything I’m wearing in the description box below the video. Just click on the little down arrow and it opens up. I shop a lot at Everlane and Talbots.
Hi from Gibraltar. Really enjoyed this vlog. Not really into shirts but I'm going to try some of these looks. Thanks
Thank you for watching Yvette. 🥰
I love a pair of straight leg or skinny jeans with a white button up shirt. So classic. You did some nice styling in this video. I'm just not a fan of the loose jeans.
Thanks for watching Kimberly. Maybe they’ll grow on you. 😉
Would love to know if there is a way to "Pin" the outfit images please - works so much better for me to reference the looks you show. Thanks so much
I’m sorry Carol. I just don’t have time right now to create pins too. But each look is shoppable and you could potentially download or screenshot those images from there.
Do you have a link for the tan leather tote purse?
Unfortunately it’s not available. 😌
You look so nice in those shirts. Does anyone know where to find a shirt with bust darts. Those straight ones don’t hang well when you have curves.
I’m pleased with ANA and Liz Claiborne I purchased through JC Penney’s.
I have my tailor put darts in my shirts when necessary. It makes a huge difference!
@@ChrystiLove Those are two of my favorite brands too. Rarely have to return anything if I order those from JCP online. ANA jeans are comfy & they often come in petite lengths. Yay! -A
I LOVE a white blouse, this is so my style! However I'm only 5-1 and quite busty how can I pull off this look and not look ridiculous?
Maybe try one of the oversized shirts but reign it in by either tucking or tying? Try one on and play with it!
Kay, I just subscribed. I would love to hear your thoughts about jean length. You seem to show ankle when you wear jeans. Is that the trend now? I'm a taller lady and have always had trouble finding the right length.
Hi Lisa. Thanks so much for subscribing. Yes, it actually is the trend to wear ankle or cropped jeans. You can still find them in full lengths, but showing some ankle is very flattering. I’m 5’8” and I’m so glad we no longer have to worry about having the perfect full length pant. So many lengths to choose from now.
I totally agree. I’m 5’9” and so happy that ankle jeans are back and they look great with the right shoes!
Help! I can’t wear tops tucked in as I have that horrible tummy from C sections! I’m losing weight but I’ve always tried to hide my tummy
What do you suggest when everyone is tucking that front into cool belts?
Hi Liz. Just opt for the untucked style. No harm there! 😉💕
Hi Kay, I’m not being critical but on the very first outfit with the chinos...they seem very short to me. Is that the way they are worn? I guess I just like my pants a bit longer but maybe I’m out of touch. Wouldn’t be the first time 😊
Hi Donna. Yes, they are cropped chinos. That is how they are meant to be worn. In fact most of the jeans I shared in this video are cropped too. The shorter lengths are definitely in but you can certainly stick with full lengths if you’d prefer. 🥰
Kay, would you do a video or series on different body types and dressing with the wonderful classics you espouse? I am 5’2” and weight 208lbs and my weight is all over (especially my arms) and thick ankles. I have a friend who is 5’10” and is 130lbs with large breasts and very subtle curves otherwise and another friend is 5’5” with a short waist but hour glass shaped. We all love your style but have difficulty figuring out how to translate the style to our body shapes.
👍😘😘
Thanks!
Love the button ups... the jeans? Not so much! I have to adjust.
Hahaha! Yes, they’re definitely different. And you don’t have to wear anything that doesn’t make you look and feel confident. 🥰
I am concerned that a horizontal belt widens the appearance of my short frame. I am thinking about belting my pants with a color match. If I wear blue jeans, blue belt: what if I wear white or tan or black loafers? I might want to add a scarf or long necklace to match my shoes? Hmmmm? What do you think? ~ L
Just play around with it and see. Take some photos in the mirror. That’s such a great way to see yourself better.
I remember when a button-up shirt was commonly called just “a shirt”, anything else had a modifier like t-shirt, body shirt, or just blouse or top.
I think it’s still that way in Europe. 😊
I am not a fan of tucking it in the front only on any shirt. I’ll either tuck it in or not at all (any shirt). Just my personal preference. But, yes, I have always loved the look of the classic white button up shirt.
It seems like the button down shirt used to be called something else but I cannot remember. Help me out ladies. Is my memory playing tricks on me or did it go by a different name back in the day.
The button up used to just be called a shirt. 🙂
I looked it up... Oxford shirt is what I was thinking of. I used to have a white, a pink and a blue one. Lol about 30 plus yrs ago.
Being a big busted lady, it is so hard to find a fitted white shirt that doesn't gap.
I cannot wear flats. I do not feel dressed unless I wear a bit of a heel. I’ve tried, it’s just not me.
No problem with that. Rock those heels! 😉
I am so happy skinny jeans are heading out. I will never buy another pair. I have a closet full that will be donated. Straight legs or boot cut from now on 😊
Hahaha! I’m with you. 😊
Your Channel for me is the older version of my favorite Go To Lydia Tomlinson Channel☺ Thank u
Thanks so much Paloma. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos. 🥰
Balloon jeans look really big
Hahaha! Well they are a different silhouette for sure. Thanks for watching.
I like skinny jeans they fit me better I wear them like leggings with flat boots tunics.
Sounds like a winning combination! 😉
I couldn’t care less in regard to what’s trending. I wear what I like. The only person that needs to like what I’m wearing is me.
Finally. I’m so sick of looking at those skinny jeans.
Kay, I truly love you and your wonderful tips... BUT.. no, just no! Lol! I guess I’ll hope for fall! Lol!
One thing is for sure, I will pass on all of these.
Hahaha! Okay. Thanks for watching! 🥰
