While we’ve all heard that age is just a number, there’s no doubt about the fact that most people forget about the octogenarians of the world. After all, they often like to live in the shadows of their retirement fund and hang out with their family while keeping their distance from the youth and the trends of today. It’s important that we don’t paint octogenarians with the same brush, though. That’s because these two are more stylish than we could ever hope to be…

A New Social Media Craze

Although the idea of a new social media craze isn’t too hard to believe, this one certainly is. Sure, each day brings a new trend and a new online icon, but nobody could have seen these two coming. That’s because the “Want Show As Young” Instagram page is everything that none of us knew we needed in 2020. These guys have style, they guys have game, and they have enough sass to throw us all into next year. How old are the people behind this Instagram account, we hear you ask? Well, they’re a married couple in their 80s that have been married for over 60 years.

Trying Something New

Yes, Wanji and Sho-er are two octogenarians from Taiwan who own their own laundromat and still work hard every single day to keep their business running. However, over the course of their lives, they have realized that some of their customers can be pretty forgetful. This often leaves them with piles of unclaimed clothes that they just don’t know what to do with. After an intriguing conversation with their grandson, Want Show As Young was born. Within this page, they dress up in the clothes that their customers leave behind and pose for the camera. They may be in their 80s, but they haven’t lost their style.

We can only hope to be as cool as these guys when we’re older.
