Everyone has their own opinions, but it’s often wiser to keep them private. Recently, a 76-year-old fashion influencer stirred up some mixed reactions after posting a photo of herself in a sleeveless, knee-length dress. Although the post received numerous comments, not all were flattering.
Candace Cima, a grandmother of 11, showcased her style in a sleeveless brown knit dress paired with a cozy sweater in a video. While many praised her for embracing fashion at her age, others were critical of her outfit choice.
Some comments expressed that the dress did not suit her figure, suggesting that a tighter fit below the waist was unflattering. Others shared their disapproval, stating that they wouldn’t wear such a dress and felt it was inappropriate for someone of her age to show so much skin.
Cima responded to the negativity by affirming that it’s completely natural to have wrinkled skin at her age and expressed her lack of shame regarding it. She pondered whether she should also cover her face simply because of the wrinkles.
Having launched her fashion blog in 2019, Cima identified a gap in representation for older women in the fashion world. She recognized a need to discuss how to dress confidently as one ages, challenging the notion that women must hide their bodies as they grow older.
Cima advocates for a shift in the perception of aging, emphasizing that it’s unnecessary to hold on to outdated beliefs in today’s society.
Despite the harsh comments she received, Cima chose to focus on the positive and offer encouragement to her younger followers. She highlighted the joys of aging, reminding them that the wisdom accumulated over a lifetime is something to be cherished and celebrated.
