Advanced Style
While the voyeur in me loves them, I also think street style blogs have a lot to answer for. I needed no further proof of this than on a recent night out in Melbourne. Granted it is the middle of Melbourne Fashion Festival, but I was overwhelmed by the number of style wankers out there. You know, the type. Instead of looking nonchalantly hip, everything they wear looks considered and overly-put-together. They almost look like they're waiting for a cobble stone street to appear and for Scott Schuman to magically start snapping!
Having said that, one style blog that deserves some serious respect is Advanced Style. The wise and silver-haired set who are featured here, are proof that true personal style is genuine. It can't be faked. It is all about being you.

I love Advanced Style - I love the idea, I love the oldies, love, love love. And he was recently featured in the NY Times! Have a good weekend. xx
ReplyDeleteAdvanced Style is the only street style blog i really like. Respect.
ReplyDeleteI will have to check that out. I love it when I see the much older generation still stretching their style muscle. So inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with this post more! Perhaps authentic style can only be achieved through the wisdom of maturity? I do love it when you see an older individual with great personal style. And I do roll my eyes when I see someone dripping with desperation in their attempt to be hip...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! I think I will have to check it out once a year like visiting a sort of mental-health doctor, in case I am a) buying into agist self-hatery, or b) forgetting to feel the funky.
ReplyDeletewell said!
ReplyDeletei love advanced style too, isn't it the best : )
I couldn't agree more. I know we all love The Sartorialist but even on there I sometimes think Really? You wear a denim jacket, leather jacket and furry shoulder pad things with a belt through the whole lot at once?
ReplyDeleteOh I love this post.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes...it does seem very contrived and wanky at times hey.
I will have to check out that blog.
