Everyone has their own opinions, but it’s often wiser to keep them to yourself. Recently, a 76-year-old fashion influencer received mixed reactions when she posted a photo of herself in a sleeveless, knee-length dress. Although the post received numerous comments, not all of them were flattering.
Candace Cima, grandmother of eleven children, showcased her style in a sleeveless brown knit dress paired with a cozy sweater in a video. While many praised her for being fashion-conscious at her age, others criticized her choice of outfit.

Some comments expressed that the dress did not suit their figure and felt that a tighter cut below the waist would be unflattering. Others expressed their disapproval, stating that they would not wear such a dress and felt it was inappropriate for someone their age to show so much skin.
Cima responded to the negative comments by affirming that it is completely natural to have wrinkled skin at her age and expressed that she is not ashamed of it. She considered covering her face because of the wrinkles.

When Cima started her fashion blog in 2019, she realized there was a gap in the representation of older women in the fashion world. She recognized the need to discuss how to dress confidently as you age and challenged the idea that women need to hide their bodies as they get older.
Cima advocates a change in the perception of aging and emphasizes that in today’s society it is unnecessary to cling to outdated beliefs.
