Style has no age limit

The men and women snapped for the Advanced Style blog show that getting older doesn't mean giving up.

Stylish over 60sGreat article here about stylish older people. Admittedly they're New Yorkers and therefore content to be somewhat outrageous, but it's delightful to see so many of the grey generation thumbing their noses at convention.

The article also pointed me in the direction of Advanced Style, a blog by Ari Cohen, who goes about snapping the older generation - people whom he believes are the last generation to know how to dress formally. Cohen himself is only 27, which makes most of the people he photographs old enough to be his grandparents.

Take a look and feel inspired that style and fashion have little to do with one another.

Love it. Totally fabulous pics. You've nailed it: style and fashion are not necessarily synonymous!

Yes, I love this blog -- have you written about it before, perhaps? I can't remember how I found it. The main thing I draw from it -- and from people watching in European cities -- is not that people necessarily have spend a lot of money on their clothes to look good, but that they just need look as though they gave some thought to what they wore. Seems strange that most people don't give that impression, but I'm afraid they don't. That it takes only some thought (and I suppose, some awareness) is quite heartening, I think!

Hi Shelley - no, I hadn't heard of Advanced Style before, and haven't blogged about it, but I shall certainly be keeping an eye on it from now on. :)
