I can't begin to explain to you how much I love this website (that I found thanks to Pistachio). Ari Seth Cohen takes street style photography to a new level as he photographs older adults for his blog, Advanced Style. I'm pretty passionate about older adults (my whole social work other life) so I get a huge kick out of the interviews he does with some of his subjects. HUGE kick. I love this. (I sent him some questions that I was so curious about but he has not responded. Lame, mr. cohen, lame )
I'm proud to be ___ years old <- love this!
And my new favorite style related quote: "Fashion says 'me too' but style says 'only me'" - Lynn Dell on an interview video for Advanced Style
Enjoy it!

I hope I'm this stylish when I'm old :) That old man has such an awesome trench coat.
Loving her coat, so soft and schnoogie looking. Yeah ~ xox Alexandra
What a brilliant website!!! My grandpa is one of the most stylish people I know. He wears those amazing suits, always polished shoes and bow ties even for a walk in a park. Long time ago he told me that its important to dress well each day as you dont know who you might meet meet that day, maybe the queen! (He is British) haha.. Have a great one, darling
Great timeless quote!

Adorable!! I love advanced people.
i agree with the first comment: old is beautiful!!! thanks for sharing this :)
I love that quote.
So graceful. What a fun site.
Great look. So cool to find this kind of street style site.
Oh, thank you for the shout out!!

The two pictures you posted are great pics. Very stylish older people. I aim to look that good as an elder!
my grandma has the loveliest sense of vintage style ever. i find myself often thinking that i would like to borrow one of her blouses and then wondering if i would be able to pull it off.
this is amazing! my grandma was the most stylish person. she's still a huge influence on me.
thanks for sharing!
Love it. Some just think because you're older you are worthless, not interesting anymore, and just blah...I think it's actually just the opposite. :)
I'm fascinated by stylish older folks...off to check out this site. So great you do social work!
I just saw an amazingly stylish older woman the other day and my sis and I agreed we would strive to be that chic!

this post made me so happy!!!
I posted a while back pictures that I had found from when my grandparents were young. They were stunning!!!
That's so cool! I saw an old man on a local fashion blog the other day and he was so chhic! I love that old men go for this oldschool gentleman style, especially the rather posh ones here in Düsseldorf. Or the cute grandpa style with checkered pants and cardigans :)
This is so cool! But he really needs to respond to you. I don't think he realizes how awesome and famous of a blogger you are. Get on it Mr!
Love this style....I want to be old and graceful like that! Love your Rome photo's!
Happy Easter!
I love old people that dress like this. I just want to fold them up & put em in my pocket.
ohh wow such amazing photos! hope he responds to you already :)
Lovely post :) ♥
hell, I wish I was that stylish NOW.
Oh my goodness! That old man is so sweet! love it!
Two very stylish people.
Older folks always have a very confident relaxed style.

Nice post, dear!:)
What a fantastic post. I'm just delighted by images of these people who have their own unique style, and don't try to imitate current trends or the looks that younger people wear. Thank you :)
I LOVE this!!! Thanks so much for sharing! People with their own unique style always intrigue me! I think you just added to my blog roll :)

Love that quote! I hope that i'm still super stylish like these guys when I'm old :)
great quote, and I love her bag!
that's super cute :) I love their style. In fact, I would think they have more style than us, since we copy the svelte clothes from their era!
How awesome - I need to check it out.
Great quote. They are extremely stylish.
Oh, I hope I can look that stylish, some day!
that's a quote i need to stick in my head when i go shopping. i tend to buy crap sometimes when i should stick to well-made staple pieces.
aw i love this!!
aw how fun is that!!! so precious!!
They are adorable! You should see some of the cute shoes my grandma wears.
that is precious! makes me think of my mom who wears boots like mine but calls me old when i chose a cognac colored one instead of black! my dad wears converse and pumas, he's in his 70's!
and i am proud to be ____ years old, too! :) xx
It looks really great!
Very interesting these portraits, I love.
cool, it is rare to see old ppl so styly but when they are they beat everyone at it!

Best post of the day!
First off, I adore Lynn's quote, that's such a truth! Also, I sort of adore the whole concept of this website, thanks for sharing!
Many people follow fashion - not so many have style!
They are so chic and adorable! I love his coat and her shoes!! <3
Hope you hear back from him soon.
It's always great to see stylish older people. : ) It's rare to see stylish people in general, so when they're so much older than my own generation... well, it's a nice surprise.
P.S. Thank you for signing the petition!! Really appreciate it. : )
This ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my, this is fabulous!!!

haha I love this! how cute is that old man?!

Find me at Just Take a Bow.

thanks for the link it looks really interesting. I love old people they have so much to learn to us...
"Old" or "older" people often fade away from sight, so it's fabulous to see all these fashions here, and a reminder that whatever age we are we can still shine.

That is such an awesome site. I really love seeing how older adults dress. I feel like they have an understated elegance. Also, they tend to buy quality pieces that last.
