Going gray? Beyond fashion, we see gray finding its way into our spaces. There’s a calming and comfortable quality about the color that seems very of-the-now but also built to last, especially in contrast to the season's taupes, tans, and rich brown hues. London designer Faye Toogood’s work is perhaps the best example of the trend. Her childlike Roly Poly chair feels purpose-built for today’s anxious times - a chubby and friendly design that cast in soothing gray feels like it could ward off all bad vibes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Time to upgrade your gray-fit. If previously the color was most closely associated with low key loungewear, new brands like @graymattersnyc are adopting (both the name and the color) as marker of quirky sophistication. Look for cool gray tones as a grown up counterbalance to spring’s warm neutrals. It’s as if fashion recognizes our need for a sense of industrial stability to temper the season's earthiness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What wrinkles? Fashion has to put in work before it gets close to diversity, but this season saw a small step forward (and backward in time.) In lieu of new, icons like Pat Cleveland (68), @christiebrinkley y (65), Patti Hansen (62) and @cturlington (50) stormed the runways. In Milan, @martinmaisonmargiela a cast of cool grey haired signoras danced and posed for IG snaps - only to be out-done a few days later by a glittery Grace Jones @TommyHillfiger. Whether a passing fad or genuine movement, the message from fashion seems to be one of freedom from expectations and a celebration of timeless beauty as we look towards an uncertain future.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Ready to live forever? The longevity sector is becoming serious business. There are entire multi-day conventions dedicated to “curing” aging while startups like @Calico are researching ways to extend lifespan. If it all feels #BraveNewWorld-ish wait for Matthias Hollowich's vision for #Skyler, a new aging tower that aims to use architecture as a tool to dissolve the boundaries of ages and reintegrate older people into society. Utopian vision or science fiction future? Fact is, the generation the created the Internet in garages isn't going to take aging lying down.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Ageless and active, over-60s are showing no signs of slowing down. In a culture where most pro-athletes retire in their 30s, sporty seniors like The Splash, San Diego's all-female over-80s basketball team are and Katherine Switzer, who in 2017 returned to the Boston marathon at age 70 are proof that age ain't nothing but a number on your jersey. There's also a 'greynaissance' taking place in yoga studios as boomers fill free time with boutique fitness classes. See @yazemeenah (62) who uses Instagram to share her daily yoga practice and organic diet. Rather than chasing a younger look, these 'greynaissance' women see wellness as a pathway to embrace their age and celebrate natural beauty.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

From Normcore to Menocore. Leave it to @ManRepeller to coin the“aesthetic of a middle-aged woman on a low-key beach vacation.” But while Millennials are busy borrowing their mom's @eileenfisherny tunics, boomers and Gen X-ers are discovering digital-first brands like @Glossier and @fentybeauty. With their message of radical inclusivity, skincare and natural beauty, these brands offer a compelling- no cover-up (or department store visit) required - alternative to prestige brands that is resonating with women of all ages.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What's my age again? A new demographic of savvy seniors is emerging and countering out-dated expectations about what it means to get older. More than half of Americans over 65 are online and are using tech as a tool to empower themselves as a powerful consumer segment that doesn't need hearing aids to be heard, seen, and felt. Fact is we're all living longer and the population is only getting older - so challenges like retirement, social isolation, beauty standards, and elder care are looking less like old news and more like new business opportunities.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

DOWNSIZE BEHAVIORS: Breaking Up is Hard to Do⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you following? We're starting to take a closer look at our social networks and examine who we can let go. In the wake of #FyreFestival our trust in influencers is at an all time low and we're seeing social sharing on the decline - nearly 50% since 2015. But in the age of constant connection, some break ups aren't as simple as an #unfollow. Enter @Onwardonline, a new service that aims to help you through the messier parts of a breakup, from getting rid of your shared digital history to packing up and moving on. Thank you, next.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

DOWNSIZE BEHAVIORS: To-Do Less⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ve Kondo-ed. We’ve decluttered. But are we really equipped to do less? Fact is we live in the era of #sidehustle where passion projects should turn a profit and free time is something to optimize (and stress out over). In 2019 look for new ways to fill free time that are free from expectations and performance anxieties. In the fitness space we see this manifest in spaces like LA's Knockout Studio that blends dance, yoga, and personal growth workshops for an experience that's about doing less and discovering more about yourself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
