Vilebrequin x The Rolling Stones swim shorts

With Exhibitionism, The Rolling Stones exhibition, in full swing at The Saatchi Gallery in London, French swimwear brand, Vilebrequin has collaborated with the brand to produce swim shorts celebrating many of their greatest hits. Surely a must for every baby boomer on the beach this year.

Available in different shapes and cuts and a t-shirt, they are sold in the Saatchi Gallery boutique from this month, then in Vilebrequin stores globally and on their website from July 2016. More information about Exhibitionism at The Saatchi Gallery here.

Charlie Watts wears Prince of Wales check

I love this image of Charlie Watts looking totally relaxed in a Prince of Wales check double-breasted suit - if this isn't encouragement to the older man to smarten up, I don't know what is.

Rolling Stones at 50 - Are they icons of older man style?

I still can't quite believe it's the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary - their début at the Marquee Club, London was on 12th July 1962.

Inevitably we ask if they have become ageing rockers, or do they dress their ages and therefore represent the best of older men's style?

Jagger and Watts (in particular) pass the stylish older man test - there is plenty there to inspire. The jury is still out on the other two. But at least they are trying to dress their ages and expressing their personalities, rather than raiding Hollister for those clone-like badges of youth, T-shirts and low-slung jeans.
