In a recent post, 76-year-old style influencer Candace Cima challenged age-related fashion norms. Displaying a sleeveless midi dress, she faced criticism for defying conventional expectations. Responding to comments, Cima emphasized the need to challenge outdated perceptions of age-appropriate attire: ”
People have such outdated notions about age-appropriate fashion, and that needs to change.” Despite negative remarks, Cima advocates embracing aging, asserting, “It’s perfectly appropriate to have wrinkled skin at 76, and I’m not ashamed of it.” She launched her fashion blog in 2019 to address the lack of representation for older women in the fashion space.
Cima encourages a shift in thinking about age and urges women not to conform to antiquated ideas: “We don’t need to adhere to these old ideas in a modern world.” Despite criticism, she remains steadfast, offering advice to younger followers: “Aging is great. Embrace it and be proud.”
