The Sartorialist

She’s a delight….kit possibly a little young for her?

She was a sk8ter boi; she said later boi; she wasn’t good enough for him…

The whole world is trying to look younger, but when someone actually pulls it off through spirit and style… there’s negative commentary. Why is this?

I hope she wears this when she’s 80.

I love it when 45-year-old women dress like teenage boys. She can get away with it because she’s in Paris. In the U.S., she would be regarded as foolish. Kudos to her! And I want to move to France!

i love this. i don’t care if some may say she’s too young for punk glamour. love. relaxed.

Amazing outfit!

Loose freedom

Gosh, she really makes those clothes shine, and they are not shiny clothes, you know? Good on her!

She looks casual and comfortable and still stylish….. and she’s so pretty.

I don’t normally like ‘boy jeans’ (on women) but I think these work.

Personally not my taste, but that is not the point here! Its a beautiful photograph, and you captured a woman having fun with her style. Thanks for sharing.

She’s wonderful; no, it’s not too young, for she has the right body and attitude to do this. The aqua tank or tee at the waistline does the trick.

I love the light and color in this shot.

Comfy. Nice tonal mix of color. The best part is the blue in the midddle. The second best part are the blue Cons.

just love those pants.

nice outfit. very, very comfy. :)

This is what I love about Parisian women — They aren’t held back by stereotypes of what may be deemed as “too young” for them. They wear what they like and listen to their own instincts instead of taking inspiration from the outside – ie: fashion magazines, “What Not To Wear” TV shows (haha) – I always say I’m going to be wearing my band Tees and chucks when I’m 80 because why not?? Age is but a number, a way of keeping track, and for what???

She looks comfortable and at ease. I don’t see what age how to do with this look.

For me, she looks like Jane Birkin.

I want every vestige of hip-hop culture to die out forever, so the super-low riding pant is pressing all my buttons.

But if she’s into have the adolescent boy experience, more power to her! She looks like she’s having lots of fun with it. Her non-existent hips make this possible, so I guess she’s taking advantage of what she’s got.

The colors are great, but if I saw her on the street I’d try not to look.

I love it 100%! Except for the tennies. OK, I love it 99%!

A breath of fresh air!! Thank god there are some people that still dress not according to the fashion gods!! Rock on ,sista!

Me gusta su estilo decontractado a lo JANE BIRKIN!!!

Totally agree with most everybody above.
She looks comfortable with herself, happy and cool.
And her belt rocks.
I do kinda wonder what her son’s wearing.. probably best to not go There. :X

This is exactly what i wear on a down day, right down to the Cons! Naturally i love it.

Great outfit to fade into the background in.

One can never go wrong with Chucks…

wow . that’s rather harsh.

Great outfit but there comes a point when one is older (I’m one of those) some clothes look out of place. I love the shoes and still keep a couple of pair-they’re timeless.

ohhh, I LOVE this look :D

Totally love this! the pants looks great.

She reminds me of a slightly older Adalita Srsen of Magic Dirt.

I reckon she pulls off the look because I don’t think she thinks of it as ‘a look’.

She’s just going about her business.

I don’t care how old you are, slouchy is slouchy. She obviously feels better than she looks.

the location might be France but that outfit seems terribly of the States.
There’s nothing wrong with looking young. I’m 40 and almost always get carded when buying beer or wine. it’s true, most of the Mtv’d world wants to look young. only haters get mad at people for being young. because – you can’t truly look like something you aren’t and young is in the mind and heart. but the outfit I still don’t like. it’s the pants falling off.

She looks like she knows how to live her life.

She is obviously cute, but from the waist down it looks like she raided her 14 year old sons closet. Those belts need to be outlawed, every decade has that one crazy item that wont ever come back…and its these studded belts.

love her little sweater with the little pocket, and casual style.

i wish i could wear the same in the city i live in..cool!

i remember seeing you at a press day !! i really loved your style !!! i couldn’t really talk to you as i was a stagiaire :((, are we were not supposed to talk lol, but would really love to photograph you for my blog!!! it would be great if you could drop me a mail: gabifede@gmail.com , thank you !!! great style !!!!!

I like the outfit…but the studded belt is too much, too trash. :O

this is so natural!

fresh & delightful!

I like it! The dash of blue is unexpected!

cheerful:)

Love it! That’s how I dress most of the time. This is fantastic that someone sees it as chic! I ADORE the hipster belt and the scarf. With the right scarf you can make almost anything work. Very attractive smile, too.

I’m 54 and curious to learn about “age appropriate” style as perceived by younger people.I really like how this woman is dressed but could not pull it off as such myself because of a different body type, i.e. more curves.The mother of 2 teenage daughters I am subject to daily scrutiny, and have concluded that everything skin revealing is inappropriate, especially when the skin revealed no longer is young.Apart from that there seem to be no no-nos, and it all boils down to having a sense of colour, proportion and style. Am I right?

LOVE IT

So Parisian…

I love the pants
