Look, if you've been to a museum, an art-house cinema, or the Upper West Side of Manhattan, you've seen them: old crazy people. That's not to say that they're mentally unstable. In fact, they're usually intelligent, entertaining characters who have reached a point in their lives where they've decided to cast inhibition to the wind and begin dressing like contemporary art all the time.

These old crazy people don't necessarily share the same neighborhood or monetary background either, although they do have one glorious trait in common: they defy definition. It's easy to look at one of these specimen and ask, "What is s/he going for?" Time warp casual? Practical chic? Ironically post-alternative? The simple truth is that they probably have as tangible an answer as you, and that's what makes it fun.

Luckily for us, Advanced Style, a blog that documents the styles of these walking, (still) talking fashion plates as they traverse the streets of our cities single-handedly putting to shame all the hipsters who try so hard to look like they don't.

Because, you know what? If you're old and crazy, it all inevitably comes together for you.

  • We like to think this dude only escaped his time machine just to appear on the blog.
