Accidental Icon: Lyn Slater

Lyn Slater

In today’s world, fashion is not restricted to age. People in old age can be fashionable too. If you still don’t believe me, here is an article about a 65 years old lady who is giving us major fashion goals and she is none other than Lyn Slater.

Lyn Slater is the epitome of coolness. She is a professor turned fashion influencer who has more than 600,000 Instagram and Facebook followers. She owns a blog named “Accidental Icon“.

Lyn loves herself and her body, this lady with grey hair and wrinkles embraces her scars and stays as natural, as one could be and still leave us speechless with her pictures on Instagram.

When asked how did she start this blog she said: “I started this blog because I was having trouble finding a fashion blog or magazine that offered an urban, modern, intellectual aesthetic but also spoke to the woman who lives what I call interesting but ordinary lives in cities Women (like me) who are not famous or celebrities but are smart, creative, fashion-forward, fit, thoughtful, engaged, related and most importantly clear and comfortable with who they are.”

More about Lyn-

She is breaking the norms and revolutionizing fashion. She is truly motivating and her style is unparalleled. Lyn stands against how some beauty products do their branding with the idea of ‘anti-ageing’ as it suggests the feeling of discomfort with your current self and makes one fight a constant war against the sign of being older, instead of embracing their true self.

She feels fashion is every person right no matter what age or gender if one loves getting dressed they shouldn’t think of age at that time, the only thought one should have in their mind is how to look their best. She never felt that dressing comes with an age bar one can wear whatever they are comfortable in. Lyn says “In her 65 years of life, she never felt she is old enough to wear anything.”
