As someone who is 64, I think it's high time that fashion was more age-inclusive (well, inclusive in all aspects, really). I appreciate Lyn's perspectives and her style, but I think it's important to note that you don't have to look like her, or the late great Iris Apfel, or Judith Boyd to be considered stylish over 60. Bold colours, chunky jewelry, etc. is *a* style, not the only style. I feel like there is some confusion out there that says mature women have to look a bit outlandish to be considered stylish. While I appreciate their style, each person can be stylish in their own way. Is that what it's really all about?
I’m just starting Lyn’s book so I appreciated this interview more than ever! As an over 50 journalist who writes about fashion, beauty and wellness through the lens of aging, I couldn’t agree more with her insight and perspectives. We are just beginning to change the narrative of aging, thanks to women like Lyn, but have so far to go.

Lyn Slater is a luminous person at any age. I want to live my life like that, never letting go of the curiosity and spark! Best. Interview. Ever.
