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...
Sunday Service. Romans 8:38-39 “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.“

The 70s was my favorite era, but a close second was the 80s. Fully entrenched in my design career, traveling to Asia to work with various factories, all with big 1980s hair. These photos were taken in Taiwan and the Philippines. While traveling to the Philippines, I got to meet my mother’s side of the family for the first time. That was exciting!!! In the first photo, I was celebrating my 30th birthday in Taiwan. Great memories.

I’m loving this cute jacket @luxe133az Downtown Prescott. Don’t know if it’s vintage, and it might even be menswear, but I’m good. It’s by G-Style, and it’s a fun little versatile piece, and keeping up with the animal skin trend. I have several ideas how to rock this jacket so stay tuned!
It’s not Throwback Thursday or Tuesday—I just wanted to re-introduce myself to any new followers. My name is Adelina. I was born and raised in good old Brooklyn, New York, and those roots are still firmly planted. I am Black and Filipina, and grew up in the housing projects, fell in love with art, and studied fashion design. New York City shaped me. I had a rewarding career in fashion, traveled the world, loved deeply, and lost deeply. I’m the proud mother of two amazing sons, a wonderful daughter-in-law, and two beautiful grandchildren. Through all of life’s storms—and there have been many—my faith and my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, are what keep me grounded and centered. Toward the end of 2018, I made the decision to stop dyeing my hair and embrace my silver crown. That single choice changed the trajectory of my life. I found the Silver Sister community—and they found me. It opened the door to an entirely new chapter here on social media, where I share my life and build meaningful brand partnerships along the way. Being seen and valued by brands for exactly who you are and where you are in life is truly a blessing. It really is a beautiful time to be alive. I also met an amazing man online in 2017, and we married in 2022, and we live in Arizona—proof that love is absolutely possible after 50. I’m grateful to inspire mature women who are still open to love, joy, and new beginnings. That’s me in a nutshell. I’m here to inspire, to share my faith, and to do it all while staying fly. So this is me, then-bright eyed at one year old, and now-bright haired at 68, and all aglow…
Zoom in if you’d like. No Fillers. No Filters. Just me-> some lines, some creases- aging like fine wine. This is 68 ‘bout to be 69.
If there’s anything you’d like me to post about or share, let me know in the comments below.
And thank you—to all of my followers, new and longtime. Some of you have been rocking with me since the early days around the pandemic. I don’t always see everyone’s posts anymore, so feel free to drop a hello below. 🤍
This post composition was inspired by the birthday post of the beautiful @alanasparrow
Sunday Service. Happy February Y’all! We were just saying Happy New Year 😲!!
One of my favorite verses to meditate on: Psalm 91: “1.He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will I will trust.”
Are you dwelling on the cares of this crazy world? It’s enough to make you lose your mind. But there’s a place you can go to to find peace and rest. No meds needed.
Just a reminder as we head out to church today. I think Rocky wants to come and worship with us!! 😂😂🐾Have a blessed week y’all!

Most people don’t know that it gets cold here in Arizona. Well, northern Arizona that is. I’m in Prescott Valley, which is halfway from Phoenix to Flagstaff and if you know about Flagstaff, you know they get cold and snowy weather up there, so we’re somewhere in the middle. Luckily this winter has been pretty mild and this week will be in the mid 60s so I’ll take it. This is my vintage 70s faux fur and leather coat that I don’t wanna part with. Perfect for the chilly mornings. OK fam have a wonderful weekend! Are you still snowed in?
Sunday Service. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves of these verses: Philippians 4:6-7 It’s easy to look around and get stressed out. Shoot, even social media can stress us out, whether we’re consuming and doom scrolling, or keeping up with content creation. Everything is moving fast and what’s new today is literally old news tomorrow, so the pressure to keep up is reel.😆 Hanging on to this verse is priceless, so we don’t have to hang onto stress. And we can still be Fly y’all! Did you need this reminder? Say Amen!! Sweater poncho @tjmaxx Boots @charlesdavidshoes

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.”
