Thank you so much for sharing these, Susannah. Your timing is eerie. These last few days I’ve been thinking so much about ageing and how I just don’t have an image of myself into middle and old age. At 46 this suddenly bothers me. So one thing I contemplated was to look for a role model perhaps. One person who came to my mind is Helen Mirren, she is amazing I think, and only gets better as she gets older. So, in view of all of this, I am finding your images today totally inspiring. Thank you! Kxo
That gentleman looks so cool. You don’t see Aussie blokes dressed like that. More like shorts, t-shirt, and a beer gut. Mmmmmm.

I LOVE the man’s sense of style. Men often don’t get credit for being stylish (more of the focus is on women) so I commend you for including him. Also, I love that sitting on the sidewalk in his neighborhood (or at least that is what I am imagining) is the high point of his day; the thought of him being dressed up for that occasion makes my heart warm – truly! =)
LOVE this post! I read somewhere that the Sartorialist said that he does approach a lot of fashionable older and/or heavier women(though his blog may not seem to reflect this), but that a lot of those women turn down his offer to take their picture because they are older or heavier. Isn’t that shame? Glad these individuals know how good they look!

i saw some immaculately dressed older women, and a couple that were still so obviously in love with each other (also well dressed) whilst we were in copenhagen on the weekend.
love it!
I hope that I’ll turn into the first lady as I age!
I love it – my mom was always pressed and polished too when she went out and about.
and I adore that walking stick
The woman in the bottom image could be me, in a few years. I have that scarf and those glasses and my hair is heading in that direction. xx

What beautiful people!
Nice! I often see older women with wonderful, subtle style and feel happy that people are able to age with such grace.
