Everyone has heard about the aristocratic appearance. Many can even say with certainty whether it is present in a particular person. But few people are able to give this concept an exact definition. Nothing surprising, because even modern sociologists, until very recently, could not do this. However, after several years of research, a more or less accurate definition of the concept of "aristocratic appearance" was nevertheless singled out. Of course, there are still disagreements and inaccuracies in it, but this is only a matter of time. And now all those who are interested can satisfy their curiosity and find out what kind of appearance she is of an aristocrat?

Myths about nobles

It should immediately be noted that not all people of noble birth have a noble appearance. On the contrary - often the most great and "well-born" representatives of the human race often have the most ordinary appearance, often even with some deformities. The reason for this is the concern for the so-called "purity of blood", because of which the couple of the bride or groomcould be selected for reasons not of he alth, and even more so of appearance, but of the fame of the family. At times, related marriages were also concluded, which, of course, had a negative impact on the children born in them.

Aristocratic Appearance: Signs

Currently, nobility and sophistication can be found in a variety of people. The main signs of an aristocratic appearance are as follows:

• 

  long face with a high, straight forehead, thin nose - perfectly even or with a slight hump;
• large enough eyes, thin eyebrow line, narrow chin;
• hair - any color, but always he althy, well-groomed, shiny, eyelashes and eyebrows - dark, ideally black;
• slender physique, giving the impression of sophistication even in the case of fullness;
• long arms and legs, miniature hands and feet, thin fingers, almond-shaped nails;
• very light thin skin, pale or with a pinkish tint, always clean and smooth;
• correct proportions of the face and body.

Behavior

But, of course, an aristocratic appearance is created not only by the above signs, but also by the manner of carrying oneself. True nobility is given to a person only by a straight posture, a proudly raised head, a direct look, grace of movements and politeness.

"Moon Features"

Like any other striving for the best, aristocracy had its drawbacks. So,For quite a long time, "lunar features" were extremely popular - fullness, combined with huge pale eyes, too thin white skin, a rounded face. But, contrary to most opinion, this was not a breakthrough or the result of carefully calculated marriages, but a genetic defect that arose as a result of sexual relations between close relatives.

Bastards

Surprisingly, some people, even in those ancient times, understood that excessive pallor, weakness and obvious inability to physical labor is not good, and sought to bring "fresh" blood into their family, entering into intimate contact with people of "lower" origin. Thus, bastards appeared - illegitimate children of nobles, whose aristocratic appearance baffled many. Well, if a known parent recognized such descendants, then they qualitatively improved their kind.
