Biggest Thighs: Mikel Ruffin. Wide hips: what to wear and look stylish

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But the latest scientific research has proven that her perception is much less subjective than previously thought. In fact, according to New Zealand anthropologist Barnaby Dixon, men are attracted to women with very specific body parameters. Moreover - and this should inevitably cause a storm of protest - the scientist insists that the weight category is not decisive.

The anthropologist's secret formula for female attractiveness is based on a principle that is not all that new. As you know, the interest of the stronger sex to the weaker relies on sexual instincts, formed already in prehistoric times. These ancient tyrants, hiding in the subconscious, push men in search of the ideal female - a trustworthy continuer of the genus, whose fertility is directly written on her face (more precisely, somewhat lower).

What is the most striking physiological sign of fertility? Of course, wide hips, which, in turn, indicate the width of the pelvis. But men, when assessing the appearance of a potential partner, of course, are not aware of all these delicate nuances - they are guided by a purely visual effect. And to achieve it, the owner of a "fertile" figure does not necessarily have to have a rear part the size of a horse's croup or a ship's stern. All the salt is in the ratio between the circumferences of the hips and waist, thanks to which an alluring bend appears in the outlines.

And now the doctor of anthropology Barnaby Dixon from the University of Victoria calculated this ratio by forcing a group of male volunteers to look at specially processed images of the same woman. Taking some more or less abstract model as a basis, the scientist's colleagues, using a computer program, modified her figure in the photograph, creating several completely different versions. In some pictures, the experimental lady turned out to be busty and broad-hipped, in others - slender, in others - puffy.

The subjects had to stare at these modifications in order to then rate them on a ten-point scale, while infrared cameras, meanwhile, recorded every eye movement, determining the direction of gaze.

Based on the results of the experiment, the composition of the "favorites" was determined. Researchers, having studied the readings of the cameras, revealed the secret of their attractiveness: it turns out that men's gazes froze at the waist and slid down the thighs, and then rose back, and so on several times. Having discovered the scope of the basic instinct, the scientists measured the difference between the waist and hips in those virtual models that the volunteers liked, and got the coveted result.

So, here it is - the formula for female attractiveness: divide the waist by the hips and get 0.7. By the way, the "gold" standard 90-60-90 falls short of Dixon's formula by a few hundredths. Either the waist is too big, or the hips are too narrow ... But on the other hand, examples from the starry world testify in favor of the calculations of the New Zealand anthropologist - unfashionable, but not in doubt about their seductiveness. Those very seven-tenths of the difference between the waist and hips are in the unforgettable Marilyn Monroe and Jessica Alba, the famous Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio and, paradoxically, the bony brawler Kate Moss.

Barnaby Dixon was not too lazy and checked the validity of his calculations on the men of other countries. It turned out that not only New Zealanders, but also residents of Great Britain, Cameroon, Germany and China are greedy for the secret formula. “As I expected, it does not depend on the country and culture, - says the anthropologist. - The optimal ratio between the girth of the waist and the hips gives the woman such contours of the figure, at the sight of which the signal light in the male's brain lights up.“ This individual is healthy, she will give birth you healthy children "- dictates his instinct."

The study echoes those scientific projects, the results of which were published last year in Germany. Experts from the University of Regensburg have found that sharp curves of a female figure are more attractive for men than long legs and athletic muscle elasticity. They shed light on the opposite process, calculating the laws of male attractiveness and calming those guys for whom the concept of "stronger sex" does not include physical strength.

It turns out that women do not peck at hypertrophied biceps and triceps, nurtured by great works in the sweaty stuffiness of the "rocking chair", but at the signs of tenderness and sensitivity, which the pumped-up muscles, you must agree, are not. "The subconscious mind tells them to look for effeminate traits in a potential partner, indicating the absence of aggression, because it is a person with a gentle character and balanced temperament that will become the best father for the intended offspring," the authors of the study explained.

For us, women, the question of masking figure flaws often arises. Most of us have some problem areas - massive thighs, fat on the sides, a big belly, small or oversized breasts, and so on.

First of all, you need to learn to love your body and dress correctly.

Let's talk about how you can use clothing to visually shrink your large thighs and balance them with the rest of your body.

What will be discussed concerns not only women with massive hips, which look like a clear flaw in the figure, but everyone else. Indeed, in some outfits, the thighs become much wider and more voluminous than they really are, and sometimes they simply lose their shape. So, even mouth-watering feminine curves, big but slender thighs, can be ruined and look strange.

Typical mistakes that girls and women with large hips make

1. Bright or light bottom.

Light expands, bright attracts attention. Stick to darker colors like black, dark gray, deep maroon, dark blue, chocolate, dark green.

But this does not mean that you cannot wear skirts or trousers in light shades at all. It can be pastel and beige tones combined with a lighter top. If you want a light bottom, then it should be solid and not blurry. And be sure to follow the advice below.

A simple rule of thumb for wide hips: the bottom should always be darker than the top

If you have large hips, don't wear bulky, shapeless skirts. The skirt should fit fairly tightly. You will have to give up miniskirts / dresses, especially those that fit you like a sausage. The hem should end below the ankle (maxi) or just above / below the knee.

Tulip skirts, skirts with opposite pleats will not look very good. A-line skirts and dresses that hug the waist and veil the buttocks and hips at their widest point are the best choices. A pencil skirt may work for you.

The optimal replacement for a skirt with large hips is trousers. Many women with large hips are embarrassed to wear trousers, believing that they seem even larger in them. But this is not true. Pants with wide hips should be worn, but they must be with arrows. Trousers that are tapered to the bottom will not fit. Your option is loose trousers, straight cut, or flared from the hip.

However, if the thighs are only slightly larger, if the legs are slim, then you can afford jeggings or skinny in dark colors. Stay away from heavily frayed and ripped jeans, as these details draw attention to the wide hips.

Full length of trousers and jeans is preferred. But if you want to wear cropped models (meaning the length is just above the ankle), you need to take into account your height, leg length and what you combine them with. But breeches (knee-length or slightly below the knee) and capri pants (mid-calf length) will not work for you.

Do not wear pants / jeans with a low rise, in which you will "fall out of the sides", especially if you are short, you have short legs.

Striped trousers (low-contrast vertical stripes) will make your wide hips look smaller.

If you choose a wide bottom and if the top is the same width, it visually makes you look even bigger. So, in any case, do not choose wide blouses if you have too wide hips - they will make your figure rectangular.

Top length also matters. For most, a few centimeters below the waist is best. The top can be longer (for example, a cardigan below mid-thigh in combination with dark trousers), here you need to evaluate how you look yourself. Most importantly, the top should cover the widest part of the hips and in no case end on this line.

If you still chose a light bottom, then the top should focus on itself with a cut or details. You can also do this with a necklace or earrings.

If the bottom is dark, then the top can be chosen in bright shades. And if they are the same color, it will lengthen your silhouette.

Open shoulders and V-neck always balance the hips. Ruffles, ruffles, voluminous and interestingly shaped sleeves, and fur collars will give the same effect.

2. Bright and / or large floral print.

If you want to use any floral prints, wear them on top, in order to draw attention away from the hips to the top.

3. The texture of the fabric - lurex, lycra, shine.

The shiny texture visually expands the hips, focusing attention on them, deprives the silhouette of a clear structure - it becomes shapeless.

If you want to use shiny bright textures, use them only on the top, not the whole image. Accentuate the bodice, shoulders, or belt. If the belt shines and there is a glare in the center, then this visually narrows the waist.

4. Too much decor on the bottom.

The presence of pockets, contrasting elements, bows, ruffle - all this only makes the hips heavier. Especially when combined with a laconic top.

Doll dresses with a rich decorated bottom will not work. But if you don't have very large hips, but just a slight imbalance in this area, you can sometimes use this technique to make your legs slimmer.

5. Overly bulky clothing.

Many women who are trying to hide their hips choose completely shapeless huge things. At the same time, the volume of the hips, due to this, only increases. Yes, lightweight, flowing fabrics make the silhouette more elegant, but this rule works if the top is tightly covered, and preferably with a bias drapery, in order to shape the waist. In this case, the light bottom really looks lighter. But if this dress is "Athena" silhouette, that is, gathered under the bust, too voluminous bottom will turn you into a woman on a teapot.

But you need to understand the measure. Clothing should be tight-fitting, slightly tight-fitting, but not very tight-fitting.

Emphasize your strengths: no matter what weaknesses you have, in any case, there will be one or two advantages. That is, if you have large hips, then in contrast to them, the waist probably looks more advantageous. Look for dresses that are '60s-inspired — with a more waist and a looser bottom. Moreover, such a silhouette is always in fashion.

Many girls with a large bottom choose very loose jeans / skirt pants. In such jeans and trousers, the thighs will appear even larger. For a tighter hip look, as mentioned above, wear jeans / trousers that are flared from the thigh, which fit snugly at the top. If at the same time there is an arrow, a slightly exaggerated flare below the knee, this balances the hip and makes the leg neater and slimmer, especially when combined with the heel. Don't mix it up! Trousers and jeans that are tight-fitting buttocks and hips, and are strongly flared from the knee, will not work. Moreover, this style shortens the leg.

The sure weapon of women with lush hips is heeled shoes. The heel lengthens the silhouette, adds height and contours to the leg. But you need to be careful. If you have very large thighs, a very thin heel will look unreliable. Choose more stable heels, wedges.

If you have full calves, short legs, do not wear shoes in a contrasting color, the boot of which ends above the ankle bone or mid-calf, or shoes with wide ankle straps - these will make your legs shorter and add width. Shoes with thick small heels with a square toe should be abandoned altogether, as well as massive soles.

A bright contrasting scarf will balance the bottom and make the figure more proportional.

The bag you use in your look is also a striking contrast. In order to balance the figure, carry the bag at arm's length.

Choose thin straps and wear them at the waist (the belt should fit loosely around the figure, not overtighten it). Wide thigh straps will make them more bulky. But a wide belt above the waist, under the chest, will form a silhouette and divert attention from wide hips.

At the end, let's turn to the most popular owner of wide hips - Kim Kardashian, and give an example of her outfits, which we did NOT recommend for a massive lower part of the figure.

Below are examples in which Kim's figure looks more harmonious.

Hips are considered one of the most striking indicators of sexuality., since looking directly at the woman from the front, assessing the beauty of the neckline is a little uncomfortable. And nothing prevents from looking at the girls from behind. The standards of beauty and fashion canons are constantly changing, while rushing from one extreme to another. But one thing remains unchanged - these are beautiful hips that attract, attract and attract male admiring glances.

World catwalks are pretty for a long time cast to the female and male society, the opinion that only long-legged tall beauties are beautiful, with parameters set by fashion, in which there is no place for wide hips. But, despite this, the opinions of men in this case were divided. A tight little ass can be quite attractive, but at the same time it does not generate any interest in terms of sexuality.

A girl with very narrow hips looks beautiful only when her breasts are relatively small and very thin waist, in other words - proportional figure... But studies show that most of the narrow-hip women do not have a pronounced waist, despite the fact that they are very thin. The majority of men agreed that women look more sexy if they have a pronounced waist, as well as proportionally beautiful, wide hips.

Wide hips attract men primarily. because they are associated with a girl's puberty. A flat one looks more like a child's figure, so not all men like such shapes. And even more so * plank * forms do not cause much attraction. But one should not forget about the individuality of opinions, because something cannot be stated unequivocally.

Men generally try not to focus on only one part of the body, but evaluate the overall silhouette. If the gaze falls on wide hips, then attention is immediately drawn to how harmonious the hips look against the background of the waist and, of course, with the chest.

Average estimates, obtained through surveys and research, in which men of different ages, professions and nationalities took part, say this - seventy-five percent of all men surveyed prefer women with wide hips, rounded, even slightly plump, booty, but without cellulite and hanging fat. Eleven percent prefer skinny and models, another eleven answered that the shape of such a part of the body as the hips should be proportional to the whole figure and not have * ears * on them. And the remaining three percent said they didn’t care about the shape of a woman’s hips, as they considered other parts of the body to be sexual stimuli.

Finally, it is worth noting that no matter what a woman's hips are - wide or narrow, the main thing is that they look beautiful, sexy and attractive. This can be easily achieved by keeping your body in great physical shape and, of course, choosing the right one.

Why does the same dress look different on you and your friend, even if the weight and height are the same? It turns out that you just have different types of female figures. The specific type of figure will depend on the development / structure of various body tissues (muscle, fat, bone), which is largely due to genetics, although it can be corrected through exercise and diet.

All women are beautiful and individual. Each body has its own pros and cons. Therefore, in order to train more effectively, choose the right outfits and look more attractive, you need to know your body type. How to define it? We'll find out today.

The figure is the original physique, which was given by your parents ("inheritance", so to speak), because it is more predetermined by genetics than by way of life. Exercise and proper nutrition can only maintain a figure, while metabolism, fat distribution and muscle structure are extremely difficult to change without aggressive measures.

There are no ideal body types, but you can get closer to the ideal using a variety of methods - sports and, again, proper nutrition. Although the correct selection of clothes also plays an important role.

On a note! Ideas about the ideal female figure are constantly changing. So, in prehistoric times, very large women were considered attractive. In ancient times, a slender and graceful woman with long legs and small breasts was the standard of beauty.

A medieval beauty is, first of all, a mother. And therefore, the ideal figure of that time provided for the presence of a rounded abdomen, not very pronounced waist and hips - in a word, nothing feminine. This went on for a long time, but in the twentieth century, the idea of ​​an ideal figure changed dramatically. Women with a flat stomach and long slender legs began to be considered beautiful. Then, in fact, the stereotype "90/60/90" appeared. But in reality, it is not so much individual parameters that are important as their proportion.

For this reason, they began to classify the typical features of female figures. This classification is based precisely on the proportional ratio of the shoulders, waist and hips. Honestly, it is not the only one (for more details on other classifications, read on), but we will still start with the classics. Traditionally, female figures are compared either with vegetables / fruits, or with geometric shapes, or with letters of the Latin alphabet.

Why is 90/60/90 the standard for an ideal figure?

How to determine your body type?

According to the features mentioned above, there are 5 main types of female figures:

• "Apple";
• "hourglass";
• "triangle";
• "rectangle";
• Inverted triangle.

If you want to know which type you belong to, you must prepare a measuring tape and take only 3 measurements.

1. Hips... Measure your thighs at their widest point, making sure that the tape is parallel to the floor.
2. Waist... Determine its volume by the narrowest part (slightly above the navel), while the stomach cannot be protruded or drawn in.
3. Breast... Measure volume over a regular bra without push-up, focusing on the most prominent point. Keep the tape parallel to the floor.

After that, you can start evaluating the results.

1. If the volume of the hips and chest is about the same, and the waist is 20-30 cm less, then you have an hourglass figure.
2. If your legs are slim and your belly, waist and chest stand out the most, then you have an "apple" ("circle").
3. If the volume of the hips and chest is about the same, and the waist does not stand out very much against their background, then you are a real "rectangle".
4. If your shoulders look wider than your hips, and your chest is larger than your lower body, then you are the owner of a T-shaped figure (ie, an "inverted triangle").
5. Finally, if the waist is visible, and the volume of the chest is less than the volume of the hips, then you are a “pear” (“triangle”).

Now let's get acquainted with the features of each of the types of female figures in more detail.

# 1. "Hourglass" (other names: "guitar", "X figure", "eight")

The classic body type, the notorious "90/60/90" - this is just about him. Such women are distinguished by equal volume of shoulders and hips, a well-defined waist. In a word, the parameters are proportional. Excess fat, if any, is distributed over the thighs and chest, although this has its drawbacks. So, overweight "guitars" can suffer from "ears" (this is also called a "full hourglass"). However, even in this case, the woman does not lose her thin waist.

On a note! The X-shaped figure was considered an ideal in the days of Antiquity. And if you belong to the group of "eights", then we hasten to please: the main thing in your case is not to violate the harmonious proportions of the hips, waist and chest.

Wardrobe selection

The main task is to maintain the harmony of the bottom and top, emphasizing the curves. The X-shaped figure is good because almost any clothing will suit it., but in order to maximally emphasize the curves of the body, we recommend giving preference to:

• fitted silhouettes;
• a belt at the waist as an additional accessory;
• coats, blouses and raincoats with belts and zap a hom;
• trousers / jeans with a high waist;
• dresses and sweaters with a round or V-neck;
• pencil skirt.

Clothes that are not suitable for this type of figure:

• trousers / jeans with a low rise;
• baggy outfits that hide the silhouette;
• blouses / dresses with low / high waist;
• straight cut outerwear.

Correct workouts

To maintain your figure, strength training should be interspersed with cardio training. You can resort to any kind of cardiovascular activity (two half-hour sessions a week are quite enough).

On a note! The most famous representatives of the G8 include Monica Bellucci, Marilyn Monroe, Jessica Simpson, Sophia Loren, Halle Berry, Scarlett Johansson, Kim Kardashian.

# 2. "Rectangle" (other names: "square", "banana", "slender column", H-shaped figure)

In "rectangles", as noted earlier, the hips and chest are equal in volume, and the waist is either not expressed at all, or expressed, but weakly (for example, 70 cm with a chest volume of 94 cm). Obviously, this is a more athletic and athletic physique (compared to the same "eight"), in addition, it is possible to visually increase the lack of bend in the waist. Emphasizing the features of the figure in this case consists in maintaining the harmony of the hips and shoulders, and visually narrowing the waist. This can be achieved by creating additional volume elsewhere.

When a woman with such a figure gains weight, her silhouette becomes rectangular or O-shaped. Fat is deposited on the belly, forming a kind of "lifeline".

Wardrobe selection

The focus is on beautiful legs and waist, and balance is maintained between the lower and upper body. Best suited for "rectangles":

• capri pants or classic straight trousers;
• coat with a belt, fitted outerwear;
• tops with thin straps;
• jeans or tight-fitting trousers with a low / medium waist;
• outerwear (including jackets) with a straight shoulder line;
• a-line skirt;
• dresses with zap a home or without straps.

At the same time, the owners of the H-shaped figure are advised to abandon:

• clothes are oversized or baggy;
• pencil skirts;
• outfits that overly open the belly;
• leggings;
• dresses and outerwear of straight styles;
• turtleneck;
• tops, T-shirts with a neckline or sleeveless.

Correct workouts

To correct such a figure, cardio activity should be minimized, using mainly a stepper. The waist can be created with abdominal exercises and the use of a hula hoop. It is important that your workouts are intense but short. Each muscle group should receive its own load on a weekly basis.

On a note! Famous "rectangles" are: Mila Jovovich, Anna Kournikova, Nicole Kidman, Cameron Diaz, Keira Knightley.

No. 3. "Pear" (other names: "triangle", "spoon", "trapezoid", A-shaped figure)

It is rightfully considered the most feminine. It is characterized by rounded lush hips, slightly exceeding the shoulders in volume. In this case, the abdomen is usually flat, and the waist is quite thin.

Often women - "pears" can not boast of big breasts- they often have it flat, but a plastic surgeon, as you know, easily solves such problems. We also note that with such a figure, tormenting yourself with diets so that it does not make sense. The A-shaped figure is preserved both with overweight and with a model weight. Therefore, it is better to draw attention to beautiful hands, collarbones or neck, for which you just need to use the right clothes.

Wardrobe selection

The main goal is to balance the hips by focusing on the upper body. To do this, you can use:

• a-line coat, fitted outerwear;
• jeans / trousers that widen downward;
• any fitted outfits with overhead shoulders (jackets, jackets, etc.);
• dark trousers / jeans with straight cut;
• tops, blouses and T-shirts (sleeveless, off the shoulder or wide neckline);
• pencil skirt or a-line skirt.

• long straight coats, baggy outfits;
• skirts / trousers with numerous weighting elements (laces, folds, ruffles);
• turtlenecks, blouses and tops with a neckline;
• fluffy skirts (including bell bottoms), trousers with decorative elements on the belt / pockets;
• massive and bright belts on the hips;
• tight-fitting trousers (especially light-colored).

Correct workouts

To correct the lower part, you can do squats (the pace should be moderate), lunges and leg extensions on the machine. Moreover, to achieve the best results, squats can be combined in long series (10-15 reps).

On a note! Among the celebrities, the owners of such a figure are: Christina Aguilera, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce.

No. 4. Inverted triangle (other names: T-shape, "carrot", Y-shape)

Women with this type of figure have narrow hips and broad shoulders. Legs are often slimmer and longer than others. Various stylistic techniques allow you to visually enlarge the hips, reduce the shoulders and emphasize the waist. The best option for this is a straight cut, maximum detail on the hips and minimum - in the chest area.

Wardrobe selection

The main goal is to balance the top and bottom, while also keeping the waist in mind. The most suitable clothes for this:

• a-line coat;
• A-line skirts with large pockets or folds;
• blouses, tops and dresses with square or U-shaped cutouts;
• large thigh straps;
• jeans / trousers with a low rise;
• tops / dresses with ruffles below the waist.

At the same time, it is advisable to refuse:

• long skirts and pencil skirts;
• straight long coats;
• straight dark trousers;
• baggy outerwear;
• blouses and tops with a wide boat neckline;
• jackets and blouses with voluminous sleeves;
• voluminous bright jumpers / sweaters;
• outfits with overhead shoulders.

Note! Famous owners of the T-shaped figure are: Angelina Jolie, Katharine McPhee, Demi Moore.

No. 5. "Apple" (other names: O-figure, "oval", "circle", "rhombus")

When compared with other types of female figures, this one is the most disproportionate, however, it is precisely such women who were sung in Rubens' canvases. The most prominent part of the body in "apples" is the middle, that is, the belly and waist. The thighs and legs are relatively thin, as well as the sirloin. In the case of excess weight gain, fat accumulates in this prominent part. Type of female figure "apple"

Wardrobe selection

The main task is to "stretch" the figure, emphasize the legs, neckline, and outline the waist. For this, it is preferable to use:

• plain outfits with vertical darts;
• A-line coat, A-shaped outerwear;
• outfits with large elements below the hips;
• V-neck tops / blouses;
• dresses with A-lines;
• jeans / trousers with large pockets and bell bottoms.

At the same time, for "apples" they are definitely not suitable:

• tight skirts and pencils;
• baggy clothes;
• skinny jeans / trousers or low-rise;
• short tops, turtlenecks;
• outfits with ruffles, bright prints or decorative details on the belly / shoulders.

Apple shape type: making up a basic wardrobe

Correct workouts

Losing weight requires regular cardio activity, such as on a stepper or treadmill. The waist can be shaped with a hoop and abdominal exercises.

On a note! The most famous "apples": Britney Spears, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jessica Jones.

Metabolic typing of female forms

As already noted, the above classification is not the only one. Below is another one - by metabolic type. Let's get acquainted with it in more detail.

Table. Metabolic types of figures.

Name, photo	Short description
	The dominant gland in these women is the pituitary gland. Metabolism in this case is slow and sluggish, fat accumulates well, fluid is also retained well. Such ladies are prone to obesity since childhood. The type has something in common with the previously described "apple".
	The dominant gland is the thyroid. The weight of such women is usually normal, they often even have a thin physique. This type has something in common with the "rectangle". Women look "boyish", have narrow shoulders, small breasts and sharp limbs.
	The most feminine type. The dominant activity is the activity of female hormones and ovaries. It is somewhat reminiscent of the "hourglass" and "pear". Adipose tissue is distributed primarily on the buttocks and thighs.
	The figure of such women is very similar to a man's - the shoulders are wide, the hips are narrow. It echoes the "inverted triangle". The predominant gland is the adrenal glands, which produce androgens.

How to determine the type of figure by the wrist?

This is really possible - the body type is determined by the wrist in medicine (especially in obstetrics). The size of the wrist indicates the thickness of a woman's bones in a given part of the body. In this regard, the type of figure can be:

• asthenic;
• hypersthenic;
• normosthenic.

The circumference of the wrist is also known as the Soloviev index. In the first case, it is less than 15, in the second - over 17, and in the third - from 15 to 17, respectively.

About new types of female figures

Few people know, but recently the female figure has changed so much that scientists had to supplement the usual classification with several new "vegetables". This is, first of all, "Butternut squash"... Something similar to an "hourglass", but with a wider waist (over 25 cm - about 20-25 cm).

There is still a figure "eggplant"- in fact, the same "pear", only the waist is not so pronounced. And finally "broccoli"- a type of figure that resembles a "carrot", but with a more voluminous chest. By the way, thanks to plastic surgery, any "carrot" can quickly turn into "broccoli".

As a conclusion

As a result, we note that any female figure over time does not change for the better. This is common knowledge. But Japanese scientists have found that age-related changes occur in a specific sequence. It looks something like this.
