This 82-year-old was enjoying a post-cruise beverage when I spotted her green slacks. She had just returned from a boat ride to San Diego, where the weather was the pits.
The pins on her jacket are green, her earrings are emerald and her socks are mint. I love how unabashedly serious she is about head-to-toe green.
These two are amazing! The outfits, pretty good, the pose, outstanding! These lovely ladies were waiting in pressed pantsuits for a matinee and demanded that they be photographed together. I now see why.
I saw this woman standing outside of El Toro, our favorite taqueria in The Mission District in San Francisco. I adore this outfit and am totally going to try to imitate it. You can’t see it in the photograph, but she had this wonderful metallic hair piece around her tightly pinned bun.
This woman is kickin’ it old school in light denim head to toe. She told me she has lived in San Francisco for most of her life and now resides in the gorgeous Buena Vista Terrace, an old Christian Science church converted to seniors housing on Haight Street. She’s seen the neighborhood change from hippy haven to a post card of the past.

Where is all the sunshine hiding? San Francisco! I spotted this woman in The Castro, where there is no shortage of funky and fabulously stylish seniors. Yet another tribute to pink and red.
Vancouver has many harbours, so it’s common for the Granpaparazzi to cruise the waterfront looking for great senior style. This woman embodies Vancouver west coast style in the best possible way. Comfortable, gray and black and a lot of light in the eyes.

I absolutely love this caramel, houndstooth ensemble, not to mention the matching glasses. Anna bought this Escada “short suit” years ago while in Europe. She explained that she feels “it’s a timeless piece that has kept in fashion throughout the years.” I’d have to agree with her…..she looks fantastic!
In a recent article about Granpaparazzi in the Globe and Mail, I talked about how hard it was to find seniors in fashionable footwear. I spoke too soon! A few weeks ago I was down in Portland, Oregon and I spotted this woman’s incredible legs from a mile away! Rocker through-and-through.
