Times are changing, and with them the standards of beauty. We remember the times when curvaceous women were in fashion. They were idolized in a bohemian society, poets sang in their songs, and artists depicted them on canvases. There were also centuries when girls with a wasp waist, pulled into a corset, were considered the standard of beauty. And then it didn’t matter to anyone that women constantly fainted, went pale as a wall, and were not able to bear he althy offspring. This is a completely different story. And now the main thing for us is that it was fashionable and thousands of girls, despite the fact that such a lifestyle had a negative impact on he alth, exhausted themselves with diets and corsets and all lost weight, lost weight and lost weight.
In the modern world, people are increasingly drawn to individuality and it is believed that beauty is a matter of taste. The fashion industry would argue with this postulate, although the standards have becomeless cruel. And even through centuries and distances, standards remain that can win the hearts of most people. One example is the beautiful "guitar" figure. Whether a plump woman or a skinny woman, round breasts, full hips and a slim waist compared to other forms will always be welcome.
Gold standards of beauty
At a time when the figure of Aphrodite served as the standard of beauty, curvaceous female forms were valued. According to some sources, the height of the beauty was only 164 cm. At the same time, the chest volume reached 86 cm, the waist - 69 cm, and the hips - 93 cm.
Such options were fashionable until the Middle Ages. Then the volume of the hips remained practically unchanged, but the chest and waist were greatly reduced and were on average 80 and 60 cm, respectively.
The figure of puffy again became in demand in the Renaissance. Then the volume of the chest and hips reached 100 cm, and the waist - up to 70 cm. According to the modern system, such parameters are equivalent to the fiftieth clothing size.
The 19th century also distinguished itself, which pulled the beauties into tight corsets, turning them into the narrowest wasp waists in the entire history of our existence, and the chest looked more raised and noticeable. As a result, the female body was transformed into the figure of a "guitar" and "hourglass". According to some sources, the waist of Natalia Goncharova (wife of Alexander Pushkin) was only 42 cm, while the chest volume reached 92 cm.
The end of the 19th century makes ladies actively and massively lose weight. The situation escalated at the beginning of the 20th century, after the abolition of corsets. There is nothing more to support the forms, and all the shortcomings of the body became noticeable. And then there is the great Coco Chanel with her seductive black dress - the dream of any girl. The parameters of the female figure have changed and become the closest to modern: chest 90-94, waist - 64-66 and hips - 94-96 cm.
Despite the fact that the female standard of beauty has repeatedly changed, the ideal shape that all girls strive for, regardless of height, weight and other indicators, is the "guitar" figure.
Types of female figures
It is generally accepted that there are five main types of female figure. In fact, there are many more of them, since in most cases the woman's body has a unique set of parameters. But today we will look at types such as the figure of the guitar, pear, inverted triangle, apple and rectangle. Knowing your physique helps girls choose the right sports training program for themselves and create a wardrobe with which to present their forms in the most favorable light, hiding flaws and emphasizing advantages.
Due to the fact that each woman is unique in her structure, it is sometimes difficult to determine the type of figure. This task is facilitated by a variety of calculators, which, having received the necessary data about the girl's physique, are able to independently determine which category the figure belongs to.
Hourglass style ("guitar")
The most attractive body type for menand desirable for women. Just as an oval face is the ideal shape, the guitar body type is the standard of beauty. This physique has the most harmonious proportions. The ratios of height and weight, length of legs and upper body, waist to hips (0.7) are ideal. The volume of the bust and hips is the same. The buttocks are rounded, and the legs are slender and attractive. The waist is narrow, sometimes even too much. The curves of the body are smooth, soft and graceful. The accumulation of fat occurs evenly throughout the body, and no matter how plump a girl is, a beautiful physique will be preserved. Needless to say, a woman with a "guitar" figure is very lucky. Bright representatives of this type are Sophia Loren, Scarlett Johansson, Monica Bellucci, Marilyn Monroe, Halle Berry.
Type "pear" ("spoon")
One of the favorite female body types for men. Approximately 15% of girls have such parameters. Unlike the female figure "guitar", the pear-shaped body is distinguished by the presence of a more magnificent lower part. The hips and buttocks are rounded, wider in size than the chest area. But the bust and waist are small. The short legs of such women have wide ankles and calves. At the same time, the arms and legs are narrow in girth. As for body fat, it occurs mainly in the thighs, sides and buttocks. At the same time, the shoulders do not change in size, and the contrast between the top and bottom increases. We can say that this process occurs according to the principle "each yummy goes tothigh". Alas, cellulite is a fairly common phenomenon among girls with a pear-shaped figure. Women of this physique need to constantly monitor their posture, as a hunched back will give out all the flaws. Prominent representatives of this type are Christina Aguilera, Kate Winslet, Jennifer Lopez.
Inverted triangle type (Y shape)
The shape of an inverted triangle is the opposite of the pear shape. Such girls are characterized by broad shoulders and lush breasts, a thin waist, as well as narrow hips and a small flat bottom. The upper body is often shorter than the lower. If a woman with an inverted triangle figure gains weight, then fat is deposited from above: in the chest, arms, abdomen and back. And the lower part remains slender. Such a figure resembles a sports one. The real weapons of women with an inverted triangle figure are beautiful, slender legs that can lure any man. Prominent representatives of this type are Demi Moore, Sigourney Weaver, Cher, Renee Zellweger, Sienna Miller.
Apple type
Girls with this type of figure, like "apple", are distinguished by large round breasts, short neck, thin buttocks and hips, plump face. The height of women belonging to this category is, in most cases, average. The advantage is also beautiful, slender legs. However, the girlsof this type are prone to fullness, and excess fat is deposited in the waist and abdomen. Bright representatives of this type are Alla Pugacheva, Kelly Osbourne.
Type "rectangle"
Girls with a "rectangle" figure are similar in physique to men. The bust, waist and hip measurements are not much different. Women of a similar warehouse are thin, there are no special expressive features in the figure. A high metabolic rate helps keep weight within the normal range. In other words, it is very difficult for girls with a rectangular body type to get better. A striking advantage of women of similar physique are beautiful, slender legs.
The perfect wardrobe for every body type
Of course, when choosing clothes, girls should be guided by their own preferences. After all, we often focus on different parts of the body. And depending on our mood, we can change clothes in general several times a day. Therefore, it is best to know what can spoil the image of a woman with a particular type of figure and avoid basic mistakes when creating a wardrobe. Even the perfect “guitar” figure of girls can be spoiled by wearing inappropriate clothes. It must be remembered that when buying things, you must first of all be able to hide the flaws of the figure and emphasize its advantages.
Hourglass or guitar figure wardrobe with photo
Due to the fact that this typefigure is classic, it is difficult to spoil it with clothes. However, there are some recommendations from stylists that girls with a "guitar" figure should heed. The impression of such beautiful shapes can be spoiled by both shapeless clothes and too tight clothes (especially tight jeans). Dense, coarse fabrics will create the effect of fullness. And if a girl with a "guitar" figure has large breasts, then you should not choose clothes with a "boat" neckline. When choosing prints, it is better to abandon clear geometric patterns. Good clothes will be those that can emphasize the waist, for example, blouses with a wide belt. And beautiful slender legs will look chic with skirts. In the photo of a girl with a "guitar" figure, smooth lines and chic shapes are visible, which should be emphasized with the help of clothes.
Wardrobe for "pears" ("spoons")
When choosing clothes for women with a pear shape, it is necessary to find a balance in not hiding their forms too much, but also not exposing them too much. As in the case of the "guitar" figure, the pear-shaped representatives will not fit wide, baggy clothes. The difference is that here you can’t hide the waistline with such a style, which can lead to a feeling of heaviness of the figure. Tight clothing will emphasize the strong difference in size between the waist and hips. When choosing, avoid dense, non-draping fabrics. They will fill up. In order not to visually increase the already wide hips, you shouldrefuse tulip skirts, as well as distinctive elements in this area. A dark or even black skirt or trousers will help to visually reduce the volume of the lower body. But the ideal top, on the contrary, should be emphasized with tight clothes, tops.
Wardrobe for "inverted triangle" (Y shape)
The main function of clothes for girls with an inverted triangle figure is to hide wide shoulders, or at least not to put emphasis on them. To achieve this effect, you should abandon the massive collars and wide necklines, including the "boat". Pockets, large jewelry and decorative accessories should be avoided in the chest area. Tight pants are unfortunate because they can further emphasize the difference between a massive top and a narrow bottom. But wide skirts of different lengths can emphasize the beauty of the legs. Girls with an inverted triangle figure should avoid thin, soft fabrics, as well as folds. Skirts and sleeves should not be too long.
Closet for "apple"
When choosing clothes, you should focus on slender, beautiful legs and decollete. Too tight clothing, including trousers, jeans and skirts, will be an unsuccessful choice. Just like for girls with a "guitar" shape, fabrics with large prints will not work. With the help of clothing, you need to shift the focus from the abdomen to the arms, back and legs.
Wardrobe for"rectangle"
Girls with a rectangle body shape should avoid clothing that accentuates these even shapes, such as loose, baggy styles, tight pants and skirts with drawstrings, fitted styles, and wide elastic waistbands. The waist visually needs to be made narrower, and the upper and lower parts should be evenly given volume.
