I can’t remember now how I stumbled upon Advanced Style, but, I’m telling you, pippa: I am so glad I did and you simply must check it out. It’s a blog devoted to the sartorial splendor of the senior citizen. (How’s that for alliteration?? Yamahama. I scare myself.) It’s not poking fun at the elderly. It’s a blog that genuinely celebrates stylish and chic old folks.
For example, this gentleman, who makes me swoon:
I love old people, honestly, I do, so this site is a new favorite of mine. I want to go to lunch with every single man and woman on that blog. I want to listen to all their stories because they all look like they must surely have them. Basically, I want to be best friends with every last one of them. The photos are fabulous. The way some of them preen and pose for the camera is priceless.
I am in LOVE with this blog. The elderly aren’t marginalized — they’re celebrated!
LOVE it.
The eyewear is priceless! I almost can’t wait to get old so I can sport some sweet specs. Round is in.
So where do you think he got that seersucker suit? Do you think he got that sucker from Sears?
My grandfather said that to me back in the 60s and I still laugh when I think of it or whenever I see one. Thanks, Tracey.
Rob — Hahahaha. Grandpas can be so dorky-funny.
The non-ironic fashion (ha) in which everything is presented is refreshing.
Cullen — I know. It’s just “look at these old folks expressing themselves through fashion.” Some look better than others, sure, but they are ALL characters. All alive and lively. It’s so great.
