Graceful figure of a girl. The ideal female figure through the eyes of men

My respect, gentlemen, and especially our beautiful ladies! On the agenda is a topic that I have long promised to consider to the young ladies and somehow pinched everything. It sounds like this - types of female figures. It is worth saying that the information presented is quite interesting, because it allows you to understand a lot of things in the practical terms of training, nutrition and just ordinary and everyday life. After reading, you will find out what types of figures exist in nature, how to train depending on them, and most importantly, what clothes are designed to emphasize the merits and hide the flaws of a particular female form.

Busy as always, so let's not waste a minute, let's go.

Types of female figures: what are they?

I want to say right away that although the article has a female connotation, it will also be of interest to the male part of the audience, because the forms are female, but a man puts his hand to them :). Therefore, I think it will be very interesting for guys to find out what type of figure their betrothed has. (well, or a potential betrothed). In addition, very often I want to surprise my young lady and buy her a set of beautiful lingerie or a luxurious dress, of course, without her knowledge, but then the question arises - what type of female figure does my chosen one have? After reading this note to the end, you will no longer have such questions. Well, ladies, of course, it will be a hundred times more useful.

So, as you probably remember, we have already considered some issues of female anthropometry and, in particular, got acquainted with what it is. As for the uniform issues, then for young ladies with types of figures everything is much more complicated and geometrically more intricate than for men. No, the basic three (ectomorph, endomorph and mesomorph) have not been canceled, but there are also more specific forms that most fully characterize the complexion of any woman.

At the beginning of the article, I want to say that the current shape of your body is a direct result of genetics. (programs of anthropometric, and not only, changes, passed down from generation to generation) and way of life. You are the biological program of your parents, grandparents, etc. If the latter is usually very difficult and reluctant to change, then the way of life (food choice, activity level) is a relatively quick leverage in the matter of transformation.

Note:

For better assimilation of the material, the narration will proceed in the following way. We will consistently study each type of figure, consider its features and the main points of training and nutrition.

Actually, we will start with the fact that everything exists 5 the main types of the female figure and the first is ...

The main types of female figures: pear

Also known as spoon/spoon (geometrically resembles the letter A). Women of such forms (and there are about 15% ) carry extra weight in the lower part of the body, mainly in the hips and buttocks, their waist and bust are quite small. The lower leg and arms are their assets, they are always slim and fit. In general, common characteristics are - short legs (wide calves and ankles) and full hips. Fat is deposited on the sides, buttocks and thighs. Generic problem - cellulite. The stooped back emphasizes all the flaws of the figure, so you must always keep a proud posture.

Note:
One of the most attractive types of a female figure for men, because in it all the attention is focused on the large buttocks. Scientists say that a large "wife" triggers ancient instincts in the male's brain related to breastfeeding. And this is a very strong “root” connection. In this regard, the pear enjoys increased interest from the male population :).

How to exercise

To correct this shape of the figure, it is necessary to address the issues of expanding the shoulders (their girth) and back. Low-intensity cardio such as walking, a treadmill (no angle) and an elliptical trainer will help you lose weight in your lower body. Weight training should be done at a slow to moderate pace. Of the exercises, such as: dumbbell press up, wiring to the sides, traction of the upper block and. For upper body work, keep your rep range around 6-8 .

As for the adjustment of the lower part, it is necessary to perform squats (moderate pace), leg extensions in the simulator and lunges. For a better effect, it is desirable to combine exercises in long series, supersets. Number of repetitions to keep from 10 before 15 .

Think Hollywood stars all have amazing bodies? Nothing like that :), they just know their type of figure and what they can and cannot wear. In other words, they emphasize their uniform advantages and competently veil their shortcomings. Now you will know about it, my dear ladies.

Tight-fitting clothes can be considered the ideal wardrobe for the top. In summer, you should definitely wear tops that show your winning parts of the body - arms and back. The bottom should be dark to hide the wide lower half. Choose tube skirts just above the knee or straight-cut skirts (letter A). High-waisted dark jeans that can be tucked into a blouse can be an excellent option.

I am sincerely happy for all the girls with this type of figure - nature is favorable to you and has generously endowed you with the most appetizing forms. Usually the shape of an hourglass causes stormy delight in men and black envy in women who do not have it. The height and weight of such representatives is in the proper ratio. The bust and hips are the same size, and the waist-to-hip ratio is 0,7 . The body has graceful curves, and the buttocks are rounded. The upper body is proportional to the length of the legs, which are slender. The loss of adipose tissue occurs evenly in all parts of the body.

Note:
According to statistics, when choosing a partner, men prefer a woman whose waist to hip ratio is 0,7 or less. Also, scientific studies show that infertility diseases are less common among women with shaped curves.

On average, work on one program is 8-10 weeks, then it needs to be replaced.

The main types of female figures: oval / circle / apple

Representatives of these forms have an average height, a magnificent bust, narrow hips and rather flat buttocks. Weight is mainly gained in the middle part (stomach and waist), from which the appearance resembles an oval. The waist is the widest compositional part. Most often, women of these forms have a short neck and a full face. The best asset is slender legs.

Note:
The American anthropologist Elizabeth Kashdan found that popular female forms, the hourglass and pear, are extremely rare in women who are forced to provide for themselves and their families on their own. This is due to the high level of androgens in their body, which contributes to the accumulation of adipose tissue in the waist area.

How to exercise

To reduce overall weight, regular cardio activity is necessary, such as on a treadmill or stepper. Elliptical machines should be avoided as they they will help increase the mass of the legs. The waist can be formed, including using a hoop and performing various exercises on the press.

How to choose the right wardrobe

It is hardly possible to meet a girl who would be absolutely satisfied with her figure. For this reason, we have to constantly support and listen to the fair sex, convincing them of beauty and perfection. And this is the duty of every guy whose girlfriend works hard and tries to look beautiful in his eyes. Not at all, in order to gain confidence in their weapons, girls have to compare, compare with standards, generally accepted standards and opinions. Immediately, we note that there are a lot of those on the planet, which confirms one fact. Beauty is intangible, there cannot be norms that everyone likes. However, there are many interesting facts that we invite you to read. And so, the most beautiful figures of girls in different countries of the planet ...

What body type do men like?

For a long time, the standard of models - 90-60-90 was considered the standard. To this day, most girls strive to achieve the specified parameters of the figure. By no means, as practice shows, men show more interest in the figure, the so-called "hourglass". Psychologists explain why bulges attract guys more than "skinny", of course, not all and not always, but still. The fact is that the subconscious of men chooses healthy women who are able to continue healthy offspring. The indicated dimensions indicate a good physiological condition of the woman. Thus, the figure, the so-called "hourglass" gets in the ranking 1 place!

Following the "hourglass" figure, men consider the owners of small stature and miniature figures to be attractive. Subconsciously, they want to protect and protect. In such girls, guys see sophistication and accuracy. well deserved 2nd place!

It is worth noting that the standard 90-60-90 takes only the third place in the ranking of the most beautiful female figures. This is probably due to constantly changing standards. Even among the models, no one can be surprised by the indicated parameters. Many girls attract seamstresses with narrower waists, which is due not only to material savings, but also to a better effect when presenting trendy clothes. Thus, this standard is 3rd place in the ranking of the most beautiful female figures.

As mentioned earlier, the standards are constantly changing and you can’t focus only on the “dimensions of a woman”, because every girl has her own “zest”, something special, even in a figure. And the values of different men are also different.

In some countries of our planet, men consider fat women to be beautiful. Moreover, the larger the mass, the more attractive it is for creating offspring. Of course, such views are relevant for Asian countries. At the same time, many Chinese like Russian women, and hot-blooded people (Greeks, Armenians, Kazakhs) like tall and slender girls. As they say, tastes differ. Instead of creating a discussion, it's better to check out the article about the countries with the most beautiful girls according to the majority of men.

Experts from the United States in Indiana conducted a massive social survey, which involved more than 200,000 men of different ages. As a result, it became clear that different ages have different preferences regarding the female figure. What girls are considered beautiful by men in different periods of their maturity?

15-18 years old - petite and short girls;
18-23 - the most beautiful are the representatives of the hourglass figure. During this period of time, the man is at the stage of maximum readiness for procreation;
25-35 years old - the vast majority of men consider lush, mature girls attractive;
40-70 years - naturally, during this period of time, men's priority is not so much a figure. However, most people like slender girls who look after their figure.

And now let's talk about our girls, celebrities that we can be proud of.

We note right away that you can familiarize yourself with the rating of the most beautiful stars in Russia, if you want. As for the top figures, they should include such celebrities as Christina Asmus, Tatyana Kotova, singer Bianca. These girls have different, but very beautiful figures. As practice shows, there is no ideal in Russia. The country is very large, representatives of different nationalities live in it, and, as you have already learned, different peoples have their own tastes. As for the detailed rating, of the 10 most beautiful Russian women in show business, the link is above.

For many girls who follow the development of show business, of course, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are the standard of the ideal figure. For unsubstantiated reasons, many people mistakenly believe that guys like Kim with a huge... you get the idea. Well girls, do you like oversized guys so much that they can’t squeeze their hand to scratch their heads? That's about the same way we look at the Kardashians, at least the majority.

Thus, it is important not so much the ideal as the very fact that the girl takes care of herself and tries. Everyone has different tastes and preferences. But, no guy can resist the femininity and heroism of stars like Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie.

(16 ratings, average: 3,00 out of 5)

It is very important for a woman to be attractive in the eyes of a man. What kind of sacrifices does the female half of humanity make in order to prove that she is the most beautiful.The ideal figure occupies a central place in a woman's life. It is to her that she devotes most of her time, constantly playing sports and sitting on various diets.

But does the opinion of two completely different halves of humanity always coincide, and which one is considered beautiful female figure through the eyes of a man, photo which they look at so often?

These changing parameters of beauty

Despite the generalized image of the ideal female figure of our time, each man individually has his own preferences in this regard. Due to the fact that many modern men are individualists, every detail of her image plays an important role in the issue of the appearance of the second half.

Women are forced to adapt, so someone adheres to the strict modern parameters of top models, and someone likes beauty in the style of Marilyn Monroe. How have beauty standards changed throughout history and what is the current standard of an ideal female figure?

One of the oldest depictions of a woman was found in Austria and dates back to the 20th century BC.

It is completely different from the standards established in our society: the woman represented on the small figure has big hips, stomach and chest.

After 19 centuries, the standard of beauty has changed significantly. The model of an impeccable figure was the famous Venus de Milo, which had a height of just over 160 centimeters with parameters 86-69-93. It is obvious that the beauty of that time significantly “lost weight” compared to the representatives of the ideal forms of the past.

As for our millennium, it is worth noting that the standards of beauty in recent decades have changed very often. The fashion was either lush girls, or very thin, like teenagers.

Of course, most often the standards of female beauty changed in the twentieth century. The beginning of the century erased the difference between women and men, which is why a neat figure with a small chest came into fashion. Anna Pavlova becomes the ideal of that time - a famous ballerina, fragile, transparent and languid. In order to make the chest look smaller, many girls bandaged it.

The middle of the century has come, and with the advent of Marilyn Monroe, lush beauties have returned to fashion again. The girl had parameters 92-60-86, had a unique femininity and charm that captivated many.

Along with the famous blonde, Audrey Hepburn, who is the exact opposite of Monroe, is also gaining popularity in Hollywood. Tall, weighing just over 40 kilograms, Audrey conquered many.

In the late fifties, the iconic Barbie doll appeared. As a result of the study, it was calculated that a girl with doll proportions should have parameters of 99-45-84.

It is known that one woman from America wanted to be like Barbie so much that she underwent more than fifty plastic surgeries, bringing herself closer to the ideal.

The figure of the doll was corrected only at the beginning of the 21st century - under the influence of public opinion, manufacturers reduced Barbie's breasts.

It takes just a few years and the world is struck by a new phenomenon named Twiggy(from English twig - twig). Extremely skinny girl, looking like a teenager in a skirt, has become one of the most successful models and forced many women to torture themselves with diets. With a height of almost 180 centimeters, the beauty of that time weighed only forty kilograms and drove everyone crazy with parameters 80-55-80.

In addition, since television was gaining popularity at that time, it became fashionable among the stars to lose weight, because the camera adds a few treacherous kilograms even to slim girls.

Jane Fonda in her youth.

Despite the wild popularity of Twiggy, in the 70s a new standard appeared - Jane Fonda. The ideal is a healthy and athletic girl, confident in her abilities.

It was not anorexic exhaustion that began to come into fashion, but the image of a fitness girl. One of the first to follow this example was Madonna in the early 80s.

To whom do we owe the numbers 90-60-90? Such parameters were possessed by the famous model of the last decade of the last century - Claudia Slate. Also, thanks to this super-model, various diets and sports are even more active in fashion.

Although Claudia had "ideal" parameters, she was quickly supplanted by the queen of "heroin chic" and anorexic beauty - Kate Moss. Femininity fades into the background, and the difference between girls and boys is erased.

At the beginning of the 2000s, a fit, strong and self-confident Angelina Jolie came into fashion. which has nothing to do with the exhausted ideals of yesteryear. Jolie's parameters are 98-64-89.

And now we are slowly approaching the modern standard of beauty, which quickly displaced the "tomb raider" from the pedestal. The current beauty is actress Kelly Brook, who has a magical proportion of 0.70588253, which is calculated using a special formula. Although Brooke has an ideal number, she has not been lucky so far in her personal life and career.

Now, if you had any complexes, they should disappear! After reading this article, you will see that your figure is perfect too, it's just that the standard is a little outdated; But fashion keeps coming back, doesn't it?

Every man to his own taste

It is worth noting that all people are different, which means that many people have different opinions. Some like one type, others like another. It is generally accepted that everyone likes the type of models, large breasts, small stature. But this is far from true.

Usually girls of model appearance, thin, with long legs, are chosen by teenagers and middle-aged men. Both those and others are trying to assert themselves at the expense of such a girl, and also to show others that he still means something in this life. Therefore, not all young people pay attention to models.

Same many are attracted to thin girls, but with rounded shapes. Such that every part of the body was toned, but at the same time there was something to see. The owner of such forms should have a short stature. According to the guys themselves, they want to protect and take care of such women, next to them they feel like real gentlemen.

The fact that I like pampas too, and many argue that this is a beautiful female figure through the eyes of a man, whose photo is a confirmation of this. Such ladies are chosen by those applicants who are looking for a chosen one for a serious relationship. Psychologists say that such a figure often attracts those who have the lowest social status, guys from the village, as well as those whose mother has the same shape. But this does not mean that you like ladies who do not want to take care of their bodies. Sagging sides, belly, huge buttocks have not yet decorated anyone.

The dominant place is occupied by a figure in the form of a pear, guitar or hourglass. That is, the owner has wide hips and a thin waist. Such volumes attract the views of the maximum amount of the stronger sex. Firstly, scientists have proven that it is this type of figure that tells them about the woman’s readiness to continue her race. Secondly, on such a figure, any clothes sit just fine.

Recently, many women want to have a figure like that of the famous actress Angelina Jolie, who can rightfully be considered the favorite of all young people. Her figure can be called a "carrot", that is, she is characterized by voluminous shoulders and narrow hips.

Many people want to see curvaceous breasts next to them., and the rest of the parameters they do not care. Experts say that this type attracts those who have problems in financial matters.

Quite rarely, men pay attention to thin ladies. Almost no one likes such a figure. A normal man has a desire only to feed the girl, but no more.

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 characteristics of the development / structure of various tissues of the body (muscle, fat, bone), which is largely determined by genetics, although it can be adjusted through exercise and diet.

All women are beautiful and individual. Each body has its pros and cons. Therefore, in order to train more efficiently, choose the right outfits and look more attractive, you need to know your body type. How to define it? Today we will find out.

The figure is the original physique that was given by your parents (“inheritance”, so to speak), because it is more determined by genetics than lifestyle. 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 various methods - sports and, again, proper nutrition. Although the right choice 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, the standard of beauty was a slender and graceful woman with long legs and small breasts.

Medieval beauty is, first of all, a mother. And therefore, the ideal figure of that time provided for the presence of a rounded belly, 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 \u200b\u200bthe 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, but 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 shoulders, waist and hips. To be honest, it is not the only one (read more about other classifications below), but we will still start with the classics. According to tradition, female figures are compared either with vegetables / fruits, or with geometric figures, or with the letters of the Latin alphabet.

Why is 90/60/90 the standard for the perfect figure?

How to determine your body type?

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

"an Apple";
"hourglass";
"triangle";
"rectangle";
inverted triangle.

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

Hips. Determine the volume of the hips at their widest part, making sure that the centimeter tape is parallel to the floor.
Waist. Determine its volume by the narrowest part (slightly above the navel), while the stomach can neither protrude nor retract.
Breast. Determine the volume over a regular non-push-up bra, focusing on the most protruding point. Keep the tape parallel to the floor.

After that, you can start evaluating your results.

If the volume of the hips and chest is approximately the same, and the waist is 20-30 cm smaller, then you have an hourglass figure.
If your legs are slender, and your stomach, waist and chest stand out the most, then you have an "apple" ("circle").
If the volume of the hips and chest is approximately the same, and the waist does not really stand out against their background, then you are a real “rectangle”.
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 (i.e., an “inverted triangle”).
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.

No. 1. "Hourglass" (other names: "guitar", "X figure", "eight")

The classic type of figure, the notorious "90/60/90" - this is just about him. Such women are distinguished by an equal volume of shoulders and hips, a clearly defined waist. In a word, the parameters are proportional. Excess fat, if it appears, is distributed over the hips and chest, although there are disadvantages here. So, "guitars" with extra weight can suffer from "ears" (this is also called "full hourglass"). However, in this case, the woman does not lose her thin waist.

On a note! The X-shaped figure was considered the ideal during 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 is suitable for it., but in order to emphasize the curves of the body as profitably as possible, we recommend giving preference to:

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

Clothes that are not suitable for this type of figure:

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

Proper training

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

No. 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 it is 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 insufficient waist bend. Emphasizing the features of the figure in this case is to maintain the harmony of the hips and shoulders, the visual narrowing of 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 abdomen, forming a kind of "lifeline".

Wardrobe selection

Attention is focused on beautiful legs and waist, balance is maintained between the lower and upper parts of the body. Best for "rectangles" fit:

capris or classic straight trousers;
coat with a belt, fitted outerwear;
tops with thin straps;
jeans or tight-fitting trousers with a low / medium fit;
outerwear (including jackets) with a straight shoulder line;
A-line skirt;
dresses with zap a hom or without straps.

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

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

Proper training

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

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 pear women cannot boast of large 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, torturing yourself with diets does not make sense. The A-shaped figure is preserved both with excess and with 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. For this you can use:

A-line coat, fitted outerwear;
jeans/trousers that flare down;
any fitted outfits with false shoulders (jackets, blazers, etc.);
dark trousers/jeans with a straight cut;
tops, blouses and T-shirts (sleeveless, off the shoulder or wide neckline);
a pencil skirt or an A-line skirt.

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

Proper training

To adjust the lower part, you can perform squats (the pace should be moderate), lunges and leg extensions on the simulator. Moreover, to achieve better results, squats can be combined into long series (10-15 repetitions each).

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

No. 4. "Inverted Triangle" (other names: T-shaped figure, "carrot", Y-shaped figure)

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

Wardrobe selection

The main goal is to balance the top and bottom, while you should not forget about the waist either. The most suitable clothing for this:

trapeze coat;
A-line skirts with large pockets or pleats;
blouses, tops and dresses with square or U-shaped necklines;
large thigh straps;
low-rise jeans/trousers;
tops/dresses with a frill below the waist.

However, it is advisable to avoid:

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;
off-the-shoulder outfits.

Note! Famous owners of the T-shaped figure are: Angelina Jolie, Katherine 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, but it was precisely such women that were sung on the canvases of Rubens. The most prominent part of the body of the "apples" is the middle, i.e., the stomach and waist. The thighs and legs are relatively thin, as is the sirloin. In the case of 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 define the waist. To do this, it is preferable to use:

plain outfits with vertical tucks;
A-line coat, A-shaped outerwear;
outfits with large elements below the hips;
V-neck tops/blouses;
dresses with A-line silhouettes;
jeans/trousers with large pockets and flares.

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

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 stomach/shoulders.

Body type "apple": make up a basic wardrobe

Proper training

Weight loss requires regular cardio activity - for example, on a stepper or a treadmill. The waist can be shaped with a hoop and exercises for the abdominal muscles.

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 types. Let's get acquainted with it in more detail.

Table. Metabolic types of figures.

Name, photo	Short description
	The dominant gland in such women is the pituitary gland. Metabolism in this case is slow and sluggish, fat accumulates well, fluid is also retained well. Such ladies tend to be overweight since childhood. The type echoes the previously described "apple".
	The dominant gland is the thyroid. The weight of such women is usually normal, often they 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 activity of female hormones and ovaries is dominant. It is somewhat reminiscent of an "hourglass" and a "pear". Adipose tissue is distributed mainly on the buttocks and thighs.
	The figure of such women is very similar to that of men - the shoulders are wide, the hips are narrow. Similar to the "inverted triangle". The predominant gland is the adrenal glands, which produce androgens.

How to determine the type of figure on the wrist?

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

asthenic;
hypersthenic;
normosthenic.

The circumference of the wrist is an indicator also known as the Solovyov 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, "nutmeg gourd". Something similar to an hourglass, but with a wider waist (over 25 cm - about 20-25 cm).

There is another figure "eggplant"- in fact, the same "pear", only the waist is not so pronounced. And finally "broccoli"- a type of figure resembling 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 changes over time, far from being for the better. This is common knowledge. But Japanese scientists have found that age-related changes occur in a certain sequence. It looks like this.

The most beautiful female figures of all times and peoples

Disputes about female beauty have always been going on in the world - and will go on as long as people are interested in life itself. The ideal standards of their time are largely determined by the society itself. The pre-war time dictates the same conditions: more magnificent girls who are able to cope with the difficulties come into fashion. The period of calm is characterized by the exaltation of harmony and flexibility, which the fashion industry raises to an unattainable absolute. Only a very few can remain outside the rules of this game.

Sophia Loren

Sophia Loren has become the only winner of all the major awards of the world's major film festivals. Her collection of aphorisms was reprinted in several languages: Sophie, like the other participants in our chart, was distinguished by an extremely sharp mind. The description of the appearance of this beauty can be cited by the statement of the Archbishop of Genoa (sic!) - he joked that although the Vatican in principle does not approve of human cloning, he could make an exception for Sophia Loren.

Brigitte Bardot

And another icon that won the hearts of millions of people around the world. For ten whole years, in the post-war 50s and roaring 60s, Brigitte remained the main sex symbol of Europe - apparently in order to create some kind of counterbalance to the murderous beauty of Marilyn Monroe, who at the same time reigned supreme in North America.

Marilyn Monroe

About the death of the first beauty of the world (and the title is well deserved) gossip almost more than about her life. Bright appearance, multiplied by a sharp mind and a lively character, made Marilyn a real queen of any male society. The girlish figure, as if woven by the standards of that time, still remains an unattainable ideal for many beauties.

Dita Von Teese

Almost no one knows the name of Heather Rene Sweet - but Dita von Teese is known to everyone. The girl chose a voiced pseudonym almost at random, having drawn a surname from the phone book so that the Playboy editors had something to sign her candid photos. Dita brought up her sophisticated beauty with severe discipline and training, as a result, she rightfully won a place among the most beautiful women of the last century.

Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek became the first Mexican actress to win an Oscar for Best Actress. The exotic appearance of the girl attracted the audience, critics praised her talent with might and main, and the directors used the beauty of Salma with caution - she easily pulled all the attention from the filming and the plot to herself. Woody Harrelson stated that when the gods decided to bring down a copy of their divine splendor, they named her Salma Hayek - and hell, we absolutely agree with that.

Beyoncé made her first steps on the stage in the company of charming girlfriends: Destiny's Child was considered one of the best R&B groups of that time. The girl's solo career went even better - a few years ago, Forbes placed her name on the second line of the top 100 most influential celebrities in the world. To the delight of millions of fans, Beyoncé prefers to perform in rather revealing outfits - and, believe me, there really is something to see.

Jennifer Lopez

One of the first significant singers of the beginning of the 2000s, one of the first beauties of the generation, the owner of a strong character and a huge fortune: Jennifer Lopez's flattering epithets can be wasted for hours, without being afraid of at least a word to sin against the harsh reality. External data and undoubted talent allowed the girl to climb to the very top of the starry Olympus - it seems to us that only her figure would be enough for this.

Nicki Minaj

The very first album of the talented performer blew up the American charts: Pink Friday headed the famous Billboard for nine whole weeks, which many more experienced musicians could not achieve. Only after people appreciated her work, Nikki decided to show herself to the society - and the society was amazed. The figure of the girl is ideally suited to the requirements of the modern world: even the wax statue of the singer, stored in Madame Tussauds, had to be protected from fans.

Scarlett Johansson

The tender age of Scarlett passed on the stage, smoothly transforming into Hollywood scenery. A good upbringing gave the girl the opportunity to shine not only with her body, but also with her mind: in addition to filming blockbusters, Scarlett records quite successful discs and even participates in the political life of the country. However, for most men, her magnificent figure will always remain in the foreground.

Kim Kardashian

Gorgeous Kim made herself - this applies to her popularity, and to the girl's absolutely gorgeous figure. Contrary to popular belief, Kim is distinguished not only by her beauty, but also by her extraordinary mind: skillful work with famous brands, the launch of several popular products, and even a mobile game brought a lot of money to the Kardashian family.
