Ladies!!! Put the fan away and sit down…No Sis, you are not having hot flashes!! You are getting a glimpse of our counterparts: Behold The Silver Men.
So, move over Silver Sisters and make way for these Silver Brothers to stand alongside us in the burgeoning Positive Aging movement as we light the path in the Silver Spotlight together. Gray haired salt and pepper men, celebrities, and high powered business men alike have long been deemed sexy and mature merely getting better with age while traipsing around with much younger arm candy. Silver Sisters have finally caught up, owning their glorious tresses and making a big splash on social media. And while the world is finally taking notice that aging and gray hair can indeed be beautiful, this is a new breed of silver haired foxes; men confident in style and swagger for the whole world to see. They are kicking it up a notch or two.
“The clinical research tells us that by the age of 50, most men will develop grey hair (Genetics Home Reference, 2017). Your hair color is determined by a pigment called melanin; a substance that hair follicles produce. Hair follicles are dynamic structures that reside in the dermal layer of your skin and made up of 20 unique cells. As you age, these follicles produce less melanin, thereby reducing color pigmentation. Some men will start to notice grey hair atop their head in their 20’s. More will spot whitish patches in their 30’s. And by the time you are 40, you will likely see (some) salt and pepper set in”. (From guycounseling.com)
Either that, or they start going bald. Not that baldness is a bad thing, but with the popularity of beards today, it adds a nice counterbalance to the baldness while showcasing their silver tinsel.
These brothers have defined their individual style, and not only are they looking Fly, but they are notably health conscious and fit.
So, I hereby give you permission to behold God’s magnificent creations without guilt!
Looking is free!
Whether bald or bearded, dread locked or tatted, each Silver Brother depicted here is making his unique silver splash in a big way:
Some are professional models like @orlandosilverfox who is as close to perfection as one can get. The word “Adonis” comes to mind with his chiseled body and face to match. (He also gives me a Prince vibe in some photos)(photo credit: Gunnar Gabrielsen)
@mrericcedeno, a silver model, sports gorgeous silver locs along with that enviable flawless skin AND smile.
I have been following @city.lord as he makes his way around colorful spots in Germany to capture great vibrant pics.
@alisudani just looks great with that silver crown and beard, and sports a modern twist to his classic style.
@franky_silverman is a model who wears a longer beard and sports rugged manliness with street style cool, and I am not mad at all those tatts!
@mrmoodydresser has impeccable swag and style as he bounces effortlessly between cool dapper looks and ultra-chic street style.
@biggrip69 has a unique and glorious snow white beard, keeps fit, and is a Deputy Sheriff…I feel safer already!!
@aldgoldie is a model who can sport clean classic handsome looks as well as rough and rugged ones
@tonsorialist_mrdexx is a NYC based Grand Master Barber and you can tell by his beard game and debonaire air. (Yeah, I had to look up “tonsorialist” too!)
@therealwinstonwarrior – apparently bald heads and beards are a thing, and Mr. Winston: multi-talented musician, artist, and more, knows how to work it all very well…
Just like Silver Sisters ditching the dye, men can put away their boxed dye and be confident that the gray doesn’t make them look old, they look Grayt!
It is truly all about mindset, attitude, self-awareness, and style. It can make all the difference between old and bold.
So go ahead and scoot over Silver Queen, and let that Silver King take his rightful place on the throne.
I know you will give your Silver Brothers a follow…
Like Silver Sisters, there are so many Silver Brothers to choose from it was hard to select them so I will most likely feature more Silver Brother in upcoming posts.
What do you think…do you want more???
Post your comments below, and submit your favorite silver brothers for my next post.
Smoochez!!!

Back when I was living in Brooklyn a few years ago, I found myself in an unexpected situation that left me reflecting on the perceptions of age and vitality. As I strolled down the street behind a group of high school students, I couldn't help but notice their slower...
So this is what we look like now… Just staying Fly!
hey y’all, we found love at 60 this is proof that love is possible at any age! Follow me and sign up for my newsletter. Link is in my bio. Stay tuned for my e-Book about finding love over 50… #over60#maturecouple#babyboomers#fyp
I may be late for Grandparents Day, but loving these beautiful souls is an everyday celebration.
They are my raison d’être—my reason for being—and the reason FlyGrannyBK exists. They’ve filled my years with laughter, pride, purpose, and more love than these 20 photos could ever hold.
The truth is, I’m only a Fly Granny because they made me one—and it will forever be one of my greatest blessings. They are growing up so fast… The last photo is them now and I’m sure they’ll be taller next photo I capture-Lord willing🙏🏽.
Fall is here. Was not a big fan of barrel pants because I’m on the shorter side, and I thought I might look a little squatty- but I’m loving these pants and sweater by @scoop from @walmart believe it or not.
Similar silhouettes were popular in the 80s and 90s.
Are you rocking the trendy barrel pants? Trying it with my animal print belt, and a belt bag that happens to match perfectly. Which do you like better???
I usually play this song in the morning to ground me in faith. It’s inevitable that there will be storms in life, so we must accept the rain along with the sunshine. I am just feeling blessed and grateful. And glad to have my little buddy Rocky enjoying a moment with me this morning.
Have a blessed day, everyone!
Philippians 4:11-13 is in my spirit today: “I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”
Yes, yes…supplement, meds, aches and pains- it all comes with the territory being over 65. But we’ll take it and keep pushing! We ain’t goin out like that!!!! We’re goin out like this!!😘
With fall looming, thought I’d switch it up to straight hair. It’s been a while. We all need a change every now and then, plus hubby gets a different woman!!😂 I like options!!! #grayhairdontcare #flygrannybk#grayhairstyle #naturalgrayhair #thisis69
This is just a little tribute to my daughter-in-love @vinniecedufresne
I never had any daughters until she graced me with her presence in my son Justin’s @dad_hat718 life. She’s been my fashion muse, sounding board, wedding assistant, and voice of reason. She’s always ahead of the fashion curve… She’s beautiful and smart as a whip. And a great mother to my beautiful grandchildren🙏🏽. Sometimes I jokingly refer to us as Naomi and Ruth.
Many don’t get along with their in-laws, but we don’t have that issue. So I thought it fitting to shout that out on this #TBT because by now we go way back!
The Bible says: Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord. Proverbs 18:22
Mother Satori is 108 years old? Come on now!!! And Sophoni Laurent ( baddiesofia01) is supposedly 78 and out here looking looking real smooth!
Well…they’re not real.
And let me tell you—they almost had me fooled too! The crazy thing is I can’t beliieve how many folks are duped and I can tell by their comments.
These beautiful AI-generated seniors may be entertaining and inspirational, but they are digital creations—not actual women living these fabulous lives. So before you ladies start comparing your face, body, wardrobe or aging process to theirs—look again. AI is getting very good, and any one of us can be fooled. Enjoy the fantasy, but know what you’re looking at.
Meanwhile, I’m 69, still fine, gray hair and all—and as The Originals sang for all my old-school baby boomers: “Baby, I’m for real.”
Let me know in the comments below if you thought these were real people👇🏽 #FlyGrannyBK #notai #FYP#viralreels

The choice to embrace your natural silver strands is nothing short of revolutionary. It’s like telling the world, “I am comfortable in my own skin, and I’m here to slay.”
