About the blogger: A childhood companion can be many things; an imaginary friend, a pet, even a toy, but for Ari Seth Cohen it was his grandmother who took that number one spot. She was not only his best friend, but an inspiration to create the blog which has taken him so far. Through this man and the style his grandmother never lost, Advanced Style was born.

In the words of the man himself: ‘My name is Ari Seth Cohen, the creator of Advanced Style. I roam the streets of New York looking for the most stylish and creative older folks. Respect your elders and let these ladies and gents teach you a thing or two about living life to the fullest. Advanced Style offers proof from the wise and silver-haired set that personal style advances with age.’

Advanced Style Blog

What is it about? Advanced Style is a blog Ari writes with dedication ‘to capturing the sartorial savvy of the senior set’. He says, ‘I feature people who live full creative lives. They live life to the fullest, age gracefully and continue to grow and challenge themselves.’

Ari captures the essence of life experience - an incomparable asset to each individual. In some kind of Derren Brown way, Ari can spot them a mile off. The blog’s content is mainly photographs and street shots full of energy, but you’ll also find videos and blog entries from the stylish elders themselves.

Why do we love it? The love for this blog is personal to each reader. Advanced Style touches its readers via passionate quotes and wise advice from the women (and a few men) in the photographs. It almost creates a new outlook on life and shows off the happiness of a life well lived. The women promote healthy living, happiness, and ‘dressing for the theatre of our lives every day’. This blog embeds history, fashion and emotion and will give you the biggest smile you’ll ever receive via the internet.
