In Camera - Parisian street style

A recent visit to Paris confirmed for me that older Parisians, men and women, dress well and with style. They take pride in their age and appearance. Wrinkles are badges of honour, rather than scars to be eradicated, as in the UK and USA.

My street photography still has a way to go, but here are a few shots that illustrate the pride and flair with which many Parisians dress. Much if it may not be conventionally stylish, but there is a self-confidence and self-expression (see the man in the duffel coat) that, this side of the Channel, is so often lost in the rush to wear sportswear - the downfall of many a man over forty seeking style. Parisians aren't afraid of colour; bright trousers, hats, scarves and socks are common, giving an interesting edge to a look.
