While many may lament the aging process, I’m here to celebrate the unique experiences and peculiar privileges that only those who’ve been around the sun a few more times can truly appreciate.

In New York City, there are no limits to acting your age! The crazier and more bizarre you act, the better you fit in and make the city what it is today. So, here are a few observations I have made of the secret world of the over 60 club in NYC!

Fashion Fearlessness

At 60, we have mastered the art of fashion rebellion in a city known for its eclectic style. From mixing patterns and clashing colors with unapologetic confidence to rocking vintage pieces that rival the trendiest fashionistas, we epitomize the notion that style knows no age boundaries. Who needs to blend in when you can strut down Fifth Avenue like a walking piece of street art?
