All 3 of my Yorkie's are Micro-chipped and they only wear their Harnesses when they are going on a Walk w/a leash, depending on where thay are walking to? Most of the time they don't wear anything, except for my smallest one Tiffany Aloha is on a Harness & Leash all the time since she chases anything and everything, I don't Trust her.
They have plenty of different Collars but I use them more as jewelry to match their outfits. I have Trained them not to run out/charge once any Door is opened. I have heard too many horror stories about small Dogs choking to death once a collar is caught on something and they go into Panic!
Plus matting their hair around their neck and making too much noise w/their ID. Tags. It's not worth all the worrying!
