silver foxes

Gray-haired attractive men

Silver foxes are older men, typically with gray or white hair, considered attractive or distinguished.

The term plays on the fox's reputation for cleverness and sex appeal, combined with the silver coloring of age: George Clooney is the quintessential silver fox.

Less commonly, silver fox refers to the actual animal—a melanistic form of red fox with silver-tipped fur, prized in the fur trade.
