Each era in human history has developed its own formula female beauty. Either athletically built ladies or slender young ladies were considered the standard. Fashion trends in relation to female beauty were also influenced by the environment: in the peasant way of life, where strength, efficiency and the willingness to give birth to many children were valued, there could hardly be a demand for a fragile, pale young lady.
Beauty options female legs also changed depending on the era. However, the formula for the beauty of female legs that we have inherited from antiquity is still in use: the circumference of the lower leg is equal to the circumference of the neck, and the circumference of the thigh is one and a half times the circumference of the lower leg.
Leg beauty parameters
The modern world has become more demanding of the proportions of women's legs and... more loyal. The number of parameters characterizing ideal female legs has increased many times, and this has made it possible a huge number women consider their legs beautiful, at least, according to several parameters.
The main parameter is the correct form. The legs should have four “windows”. If you stand straight and connect your legs, you should get four gaps. The first is between the foot and ankle, the second is above the ankle, and the third is below the knee. And the fourth, narrowest one - above the knee at the top of the thigh.
The next parameter of ideal legs is the shape of the knee. There should be no sharp corners or bags above and below the knee. You need to look at the knee not from above, but in reflection in the mirror. This makes it easier to appreciate all the advantages of your legs.
If you slightly bend your leg at the knee and look at the reflection of the knee in the mirror, then the owner of ideal legs will be able to see a “baby face” on her knee with all the attributes: eyes, cheeks and even bangs.
There should be a depression at the back of the knee, which many men consider the most touching part of a woman’s legs. The distance from the beginning of the thigh to the foot should be divided exactly in half by the knee: that is, the length of the thigh is equal to the length of the ankle. This proportion is considered ideal.
Now, using a measuring tape, you can measure the circumference under the knee and ankle. If these indicators are the same or the volume under the knee is slightly greater than the volume of the ankles, then another parameter of ideal legs has been met.
In the film Some Like It Hot, one of the characters paid great attention to a woman’s ankle, considering it an important criterion for female beauty. The ankle should not be too sinewy, but at the same time the tendons should be visible on it. And although such a description of the ideal ankle seems counterintuitive, men can easily determine by appearance which ankle meets the criteria for an ideal ankle.
You need to assess the condition of the calves in much the same way: proportionally developed, strong, round. Pumped calf muscles just as bad as flabby, rattling calves.
Another criterion for ideal female legs is the Achilles tendon (the place where the shin meets the heel). This place should be elegant, thin, embossed, and have small indentations on both sides. The heel is round in shape, should not be flattened, only slightly protruding under the Achilles tendon.
The ideal hip shape is what people fight for modern women V gyms, during fitness classes, maximally loading this particular part of the legs.
If you mentally divide the thigh into three equal parts, then the most wide part should be in the top third. At the same time, there must be a “window” near the groin.
In profile, the ideal thigh resembles a “spindle”: at the groin and closer to the knee it is narrowed, and slightly widened in the middle part. Closer to the knee at the back, the thigh gradually tapers.
A few words about the ideal foot. In honor of this part of women's legs, poets composed poems, painters - canvases. This part female body still remains a fetish for many men, including famous and famous ones (let’s remember Quentin Tarantino, who took a close-up of Uma Thurman’s feet).
The foot should be thin, slightly concave, not deformed by narrow shoes, not disfigured by bunions. The size, oddly enough, of great importance does not have, the main thing is proportions. The same Tarantino admires Thurman’s size 42 feet.
Proportions of body and legs
Well, and most importantly, the legs should be proportionally combined with the entire figure, because female beauty cannot be divided into parts, beauty is a complex concept.
Existing standards of female beauty suggest the following proportions:
Not all women can boast of meeting absolutely all the requirements for ideal female legs. And rightly so - nature loves diversity. Not only those legs that meet the specified criteria can be considered ideal - the length of the legs is approximately half the length of the body.
Amendments can be applied to these criteria, because women sometimes have different types physique: large-boned, asthenic or normosthenic physique. The difference between the length of the legs and half the height of a woman of normal build is 4 cm, for thin-boned women (asthenic build) - 6 cm, and for large-boned women - 2 cm.
Leg exercises
But even these “lightweight” formulas can be difficult to live up to. Therefore, you need to love those legs that nature has endowed, especially since they perform important function– transport us in space regardless of perfect proportions.
However, you can correct the shape of your legs with the help of physical exercises. Of course, even the most sophisticated exercises will not change the length of the legs, but they will help correct the shape, add grace where necessary, and volume where necessary.
We offer a set of leg exercises that will bring even the most “imperfect” legs closer to perfection. The complex requires systematic approach, regularity. It should be performed at least five days a week, without expecting that after a week the legs will acquire ideal proportions. The complex consists of five exercises.
An exercise to stretch the outer and inner thighs and strengthen the buttocks. Spread your legs as wide as possible, turn your feet 45 degrees. Squat down slowly, trying to keep your back straight. It is not necessary to squat all the way; it is important to linger at the bottom of the squat for a few seconds, and only then rise. At first the delay time will be minimal, but over time it will need to increase.
Exercise to develop the calf muscles. Stand up straight, rise on your toes, lower yourself without touching your heels to the floor. Continue swinging on your toes, now increasing and then slowing down the pace until a little painful sensations. This exercise perfectly warms up the calf muscles; while performing, you will feel warmth in your calves.
Exercise to develop the back of the thighs and buttocks. Stand straight, feet shoulder-width apart. Stretch your leg as far back as possible, hold for a few seconds, repeat with the other leg. At first, the exercise may be difficult due to the need to maintain balance, but over time the body gets used to this position.
Exercise for all leg muscles, as well as abdominal Press. From a straight position, raise your leg with the knee bent high, press it to your chest, and hold for a few seconds. Repeat with the other leg. Gradually increase the delay time. This exercise also develops balance and coordination of movements.
Development exercise inner surface hips In women, the inner thigh is the most difficult to train. A wonderful exercise from the training of sumo wrestlers. Stand up like a sumo wrestler: legs slightly bent at the knees, body slightly tilted forward. Alternately lift one leg off the floor, then the other, try to raise your leg as high as possible.
Ideal legs for the lazy
If nature is modest and there is no desire physical exercise to correct her mistakes, little feminine tricks will come to the rescue. Heels perfectly “lengthen” your legs. Flesh-colored shoes if you wear a skirt, or matching trousers too. A properly chosen skirt can also visually add a couple of centimeters to even the naturally shortest legs.
The great Leonardo da Vinci was one of the first to study and define ideal parameters human body. The anatomical proportions he presented are still studied in art schools all over the world. From Leonardo da Vinci’s theory of ideal proportions it follows that the volumes of the chest, waist and hips, taken separately, do not solve anything, it’s all about their ratio.
IN modern society changes in the parameters of the human body (anthropometric data) are revised every 15 years, since during this period, as a result of the acceleration process, changes in size, proportions and shapes occur figures person. The well-known 90 – 60 – 90, of course, are not the standard of ideal women's proportions for everyone. Body proportions generally cannot be the same for all women, since there are Various types physiques given to us genetically.
Main body types
The main body types include asthenic (thin-boned), normosthenic (normal-boned) and hypersthenic (broad-boned).
- Women with an asthenic (thin-boned) body type have thin bones, long limbs, thin neck, muscles are relatively poorly developed. Representatives of this type are usually light in weight, they are energetic and active. Eating plenty of food for quite a long time does not lead them to gain weight, since they spend energy faster than they accumulate. If a woman of this type is not very thin waist and normal, non-narrow hips all seem miniature because of the thin bone.
- The physique of normosthenic women (normal bone type) is distinguished by the proportionality of the main body dimensions, the right ratio. Most beautiful female figures are found precisely with this body type.
- Representatives of hypersthenic (big-boned) physiques are dominated by transverse dimensions bodies. Their bones are thick and heavy, their shoulders, chest and hips are wide, and their legs are sometimes somewhat short. Women of this type need to remember that they tend to be overweight.
You can determine your approximate body type by measuring the circumference of the wrist of your working hand. For normosthenics it is 16-18.5 cm, for asthenics - 16 cm, and for hypersthenics - 18.5 cm.
Quite often there are mixed body types with a predominance of the parameters of the above types.
If we talk about gradations female height, then they are as follows: low height - 150 cm and below, below average height - 151-156 cm, average height - 157-167 cm, high - 168-175 cm, very tall - 176 cm and above.
The truth in last years This gradation needs to be changed taking into account the acceleration of modern youth, so normal height can be considered for normal and large-boned people from 166 to 170 cm, and for thin-boned people from 168 to 172 cm.
There are certain proportions between height and leg length. Legs can be considered short if their length is less than half the height. Can be considered proportional figure when the length of the legs is more than half the height. Forfor broad-boned people, preferably by 2-4 cm, for normal-boned people - 4-6 cm, for thin-boned people - 6-9 cm. For example, ifIf you have a normal bone body type with a height of 168 cm, the leg length is 90 cm, then this is ideal.
Leg length should be measured from the protrusion femur, to the floor. In cases where the legs are somewhat shorter than the accepted norm, shoes with heels will help change this ratio, since visually they eliminate the existing imbalance.
The diameter of the leg at the calf, depending on the body type, ranges from 36 to 40 centimeters, at the ankle from 16 to 20 cm. Experts even tried to compile a table of the ideal leg shape depending on the body type.
Here are the approximate parameters: with a height of 156 and a weight of 50 - 55 kg - leg circumference at the hip from 48 to 54 cm, in the calf 31-32 cm, in the ankle 18-20 cm; with a height of 160 and a weight of 55–58 kg, the leg circumference at the thigh is from 50 to 56 cm, in the calf 32–35 cm, in the ankle 19–22 cm; with a height of 167 and a weight of 56-65 kg, the leg circumference at the hip is from 52 to 58 cm, at the calf 33-36 cm, at the ankle 22-23 cm.
And above all, ideal legs should have three gaps between them. To do this, you need to stand in front of a large mirror and put your feet in the position - heels together, toes apart. You should see the first gap under the knees, the second at the ankles, and the third at the top closer to the hips. In other places the legs should converge.
Correct weight
Body weight depends on the body type, height and, very importantly, the age of the person. One option for calculating weight is the Quetelet index. According to this index, for women with a thin-boned body type, it is enough to have 325 g for every centimeter of height, for normal-boned women - 350 and for large-boned ones - 375 g. Then the index is multiplied by height, and the weight corresponding to your parameters is obtained.
It must be emphasized that ideal weight women, especially those whose height is below 160 cm, should be 10-15% less than normal. For short women, at least under 20 years of age, it is advisable to weigh 3-5 kg less than normal, i.e. calculated using the Quetelet index.
As mentioned above, body weight also depends on age. The table shows the weight-to-height ratio (weight in g divided by height in cm) for women aged 15 to 40 years.

To determine your normal weight, you need to multiply your height in cm by the weight-height coefficient corresponding to your age and body type.
Excess weight can be tracked by measuring the fat fold on the abdominal wall, above the navel, 3 cm from midline. Its thickness should normally be from 1 to 2 cm.
Hips, waist and chest
Knowing your body circumferences - chest, waist and hips - also helps determine your body type. Suchthe indicator is called "whites".
Normal indicators whites for young women (18 – 28 years old) of a normosthenic body type can be considered if the circumference chest equal to half the height plus 2-5 cm, for the bust - chest circumference plus 8-10 cm, for the waist - standing height, minus 100, hips should be
greater than the waist circumference by about 25-30 cm. For thin-boned women, it can be considered normal if their chest circumference is in the range of 84-86 cm, and their bust is plus 4-6 cm to the indicated figures.
Their waist is usually thin, ranging from 60-64 cm, and their hip circumference is approximately 25-30 cm larger. In women with a broad-boned body type, the chest circumference exceeds half the height by 8-10 cm, chest - by another 8-10 cm. The waist circumference with a height of 166-168 cm is within 70-76 cm, and the hip circumference is larger by the same 25-30 cm.
Devendra Singh, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, came to approximately the same conclusion in the early nineties. Only he calculated the proportion between the hips and waist as a percentage. According to his theory, the ideal proportions are those in which the waist volume is from 60 to 70% of the hip volume.
To do this, you need to divide the waist volume by the hip volume, the resulting coefficient should be from 0.6 to 0.7. By the way, the ideal beauties according to this ratio are the Venus de Milo - 70% and the Nude by Rubens, the same 70%. But among real women, the waist-to-hip ratio is ideal: Marilyn Monroe 0.61 (56/91.5), Brigitte Bardot 0.66 (58.5/89), Demi Moore 0.72 (66/91), Claudia Schiffer 0.67 (62/92), Cindy Crawford 0.69 (58/84), Gisele Bundchen 0.70 (61/86), Kylie Minogue 0.70 (63/89).
Doctors believe that the ratio of waist circumference to hip circumference should not exceed the endocrine balance coefficient, which is 0.85. If your waist does not exceed 85% of your hips, then your figure V in perfect order both from an aesthetic and medical point of view.
Time moves forward, new criteria for assessing the beauty of a female figure appear. The latest analysis of the results of an anthropometric examination of women, carried out in our country at the beginning of 2000, showed significant changes in body proportions. Young women have longer arms, legs, longer high level waist lines, wider shoulders with the same body size, improved posture. So we can conclude that the young and middle generations of women have become taller and slimmer than the previous generation. Well, if your parameters do not match the ideal ones, don’t be upset! Still, the most important thing in a woman is her individuality and, of course, her well-groomed appearance.
Nowadays loyalty reigns in the world, which means that it seems to have become easier to put up with the imperfections of your body, in particular your legs. The more paradoxical the situation is that the disease called “I don’t like myself” overcomes even men who easily catch everything women's diseases and fears. Here it is - the result of the unobtrusive (is it?) imposition of images and our stereotypical thinking.
Despite the fact that the world is no longer interested in everything ideal, the standards of beauty are blurred, there are parameters verified by scientists regarding the proportions of the legs.
What leg parameters are considered the standard?
Beautiful legs of girls are their powerful weapon in the fight to win men's hearts. Nevertheless, the issue of beauty is purely individual, and there is no objectively ideal shape of legs, since there is no arguing about tastes.
According to scientists, the length of the legs should be slightly more than half the height and be about 51-55% of the body length. A straight line can be drawn through the top of the thigh and the middle of the knee to the ankle, but at the same time, the legs should not be like sticks; some curvature must be present.
Let's look at a few features of the legs:
- Let's imagine that your legs are a four-story house. And there should be one “window” on each floor. The ideal leg shape for women includes four openings: at the top of the thighs, above the knees (the narrowest), below the knees and above the ankles.
- "Baby face" on your knees. Like this? Stand in front of a mirror, bend your leg. If ideal legs smile from the knees with a “baby face”: eyes, cheeks, hairs on the bangs will be visually identified, then your knees are responding. Did you smile back at her?
- A little more about knees - what could be more charming? Ideally, they are graceful, toned, no “bags” of skin under and above them, as well as “razor-sharp” endings. Stand in front of the mirror and evaluate yourself strictly.
- At the back under the knee there is a very delicate depression - a subject of special male admiration.
- The knees divide the ideal legs exactly in half.
- Is the circumference under the knee slightly larger than the circumference of the ankle or are they equal? Another point of ideal legs has been met.
- An important criterion for female beauty is the ankle. Ideally, it is not too sinewy, but the tendons should be visible.
- The Achilles tendon should look graceful, thin, sculpted, with small indentations on both sides!
- The beautiful legs of girls end with a charming heel, which should protrude slightly forward under the Achilles tendon, have a rounded shape, be clean, pink, well-groomed and not look flattened.
Beauty in numbers
The circumference of the thigh, shin and ankle should be proportional depending on your height. Measurements must be taken standing. If you are between 174 and 180 cm tall, your thigh, shin and ankle circumferences should be approximately 58 cm, 37 cm and 20 cm respectively. With a height of 168-173 cm, the hip circumference should be on average 53.5 cm, shin - 34 cm, ankle - 19.5 cm. If the height is from 160 to 167 cm, then the norm for the hips will be 50 cm, for the shin - 33 cm, for the ankle - 19 cm.
What not to do if you want to have beautiful legs
If you want to have slender legs, in pursuit of the ideal, take care not to harm yourself. It is forbidden:
- sitting on one side of the thigh with your legs facing the other way, this can gradually disrupt the proportion of ideal legs;
- sit with legs wide apart;
- sit cross-legged;
- when standing, lean on one leg;
- stand cross-legged;
- regularly sleep on your stomach or side;
- carry a bag on the same shoulder;
- always wear heels.
A few tricks for being more slim
Every day, walk a few steps, first on your heels, then on your toes, then on your outside feet, and then on your toes. inner sides stop, and in that order.
Make it a rule to start every morning with a gentle stretching of your legs without getting out of bed.
If you work in a sedentary position, your legs will likely take a toll excess fat(or water). Drink more water and do not eat a lot of smoked and salty foods.
When you work while sitting for a long time, try to sit on the edge of a chair, this way you will ensure tension in the muscles of your legs and will work them unnoticed.
If you are at home, do not wear synthetic socks and tights - they have harmful effects on your feet.
Your slippers should belong only to you, do not give them to anyone for hygiene reasons.
“The one who walks will master the road!” You should try to walk 10 thousand steps every day, so it’s better once again save on the bus and walk.
Regular foot massage improves blood circulation and prevents the formation of fat deposits. Stretch your thighs when you sit, for example, in the office - no one will see this.
Eat more fresh vegetables, in particular white cabbage. Don't eat at night.
Forming perfect legs
Why do we look at dancers and ballerinas and admire their legs? They are flexible, and the solution to the question of how to make ideal legs should begin with the formation of joint flexibility.
“Hard” hips are the key to your clumsiness and awkward gait, so your hips need to be stretched and “opened.” Some useful exercises:
- Tilts. Legs “cigarette” on the same line, the toes of the left foot rest against the heel of the right. Bend forward, then switch legs. Until they appear discomfort- we do.
- Hip stretch. The more unpleasant the exercise, the more effective. Sitting on the floor, at a distance of 30 cm from you, cross your legs, just your feet. Keeping your back straight, bend forward (towards your feet). We complicate the exercises: we place one foot on the other, and bend forward. To make it even more difficult: bring your heels together. We press on our knees with our hands and bend forward. This way you stretch the muscles of the inner thigh.
- Exercise "swastika". It’s a difficult, uncomfortable exercise, but we remember the inverse relationship between convenience and efficiency. The result is only possible if you overcome the pain. The exercise helps to form ideal legs by stretching external sides thighs and helps get rid of cellulite. Until you get tired of it, you can do it. On the floor, we form “half a swastika” from the legs bent at 90 degrees at the knees: one - in front, the second - on the side, the legs lie completely on the floor, including the knees and buttocks. The exercise is difficult for unprepared people, since “stiff” hips are difficult to “open”. We sit on our buttocks, our back is straight, and we bend forward, backward, and to the sides until we get tired of it.
Not bad gymnastics
The complex must be performed with tense leg muscles, without relaxing them:
- We lie on our back, legs at right angles to the body, arms along the body. We pull our socks up. Tightening the muscles, bend the right leg, straighten it and repeat with the other leg. We do it for five minutes without stopping.
- The position is the same as in the first stage, only the left leg is bent. The muscles of the right leg are tense, toe up. We bend the right leg, the foot is straight, while the left leg is extended upward, the heel is parallel to the ceiling. Repeat with different legs in the same rhythm for 5 minutes. We don’t stop, we endure and we do it, it’s impossible to get perfect legs right away, you need systematic training.
- Socks point up. Place the right heel in front of the left leg. Turning forward left heel, legs straight, muscles tense. We return the legs to the starting position and repeat the heel turn, now with the right leg. With the right heel we press on the resistance to pressure left leg Next, lower your legs and bend them at the knees, crossing your ankles, right leg is located above the left. Repeat with the other leg.
Long and thin legs. Some girls seem to dream about them in their dreams. But is it really that simple? Which legs can we consider truly ideal?
1. Leg length
The correct leg length depends entirely on your height. This is logical, because a girl 155 centimeters cannot have legs 110 centimeters (that would look terrible). Everything must be proportional.
The ideal length is half your height plus a few centimeters. Much depends on whether you have wide or thin bones:
- wide bone: legs 2–4 centimeters longer than half the height (51–53% of height);
- normal bone: the length of the legs is equal to half the height and another 4–6 centimeters on top (52–54% of the height);
- thin bone: legs should be equal to half the height and another 6–9 centimeters (53–55% of height).
Remember that leg length is measured from the protrusion of the thigh bone to the floor.
2. Rule of four gaps
The legs may not be completely straight, and that's okay. They should have a certain beautiful curve. To understand how your legs correspond to ideal parameters, stand straight in front of the mirror and bring your legs together.
Regularly shaped legs form four gaps: between the feet and ankles, under the knees, between the knees and thighs, between the groin and thighs. The last window (above the knee at the bottom of the thigh) should be the narrowest.
3. Hip width
Girls most often worry about the size of their hips. Of course, hip coverage is important parameter perfect legs. So, with a height of 161–165 centimeters, the correct hip circumference is 53–54 centimeters; with a height of 166–170, the thigh circumference is 55–57 centimeters; with a height of 171–175, the hip circumference should be 57–58 centimeters (be careful: the circumference of one hip, not the circumference of two hips).
We would like to note that 55 centimeters in girth is not so small, which means that thin and beautiful legs are not always the same thing.
4. Beautiful calves
Calves are an equally important part of the legs. Here you need to determine the golden mean for yourself: too pumped up calves are bad, but flabby, jelly-like ones are even worse. Rounded and elastic calves do not disrupt the overall contours of the leg and are not conspicuous.
5. Attractive knees
Knees can be both a decoration of the legs and their main problem. Good knees are small, rounded, neat, without protrusions on the sides. The knee should be at the same distance from the top and bottom of the leg, midway between top part hips and feet.
Pay attention to the circumference of the leg under the knee: it should be equal to the circumference of the ankle or be slightly larger.
Unfortunately, the knees give away a woman's age. No wonder Hollywood stars are starting to do plastic surgery precisely on the knees to return them to the correct shape.
6. Graceful ankles
A beautiful ankle should be thin (but not skinny), graceful and sculpted. By the way, the shape of the Achilles tendon is also important (located where the heel meets the shin): ideally it has a small thickness and regular indentations on both sides.
7. A little more about hips
We've figured out hip circumference, but what about hip shape? It is believed that the ideal hip is like a spindle: slightly narrowed at the top and bottom, and slightly widened in the middle. If you mentally divide the thigh into three equal parts, then the widest part should be in the upper third.
To keep your hips firm, toned and appetizing, you need to constantly exercise and maintain their beautiful shape.
8. Smooth feet, pink heels, neat toes
The ideal leg has a concave, elongated and thin foot. The toes are not crooked by low-quality shoes and lie freely, one next to the other. The heel is rounded and slightly protruding from under the Achilles tendon.
Of course, toes and heels should be well-groomed and tidy: we must not forget about pedicures, soothing baths and moisturizer.
9. Healthy legs
Beautiful legs are, first of all, healthy legs. Spider veins, the blue-violet mesh will be ruined appearance even the most slender legs. Still image life, sitting position for seven to eight hours, high heels, no physical activity- all this can lead to varicose veins veins The disease is serious and is often treated only with laser therapy or surgery.
Therefore, take care of the health of your feet from a young age. Walk, exercise, take cold and hot shower, give your feet a break from heels, drink more water and visit a phlebologist.
10. Smooth skin
Smooth and silky skin is another mandatory sign of ideal legs. You need to exfoliate a couple of times a week and apply a moisturizing body lotion every day.
There are several ways: the simplest and most short-lived is shaving, the most expensive and effective is, the optimal for price and longevity is,. Choose what you like!
All women dream of perfect legs, long, slender and graceful. However, not everyone has been blessed by nature with such attractive beauty. What to do: accept it or try to get closer to the ideal?
It's up to each lady to decide for herself. But if you are not going to put up with Mother Nature, before you start sculpting the perfect legs, you should find out what they should be like.
Parameters of ideal female legs
Women's legs have always attracted the attention of men, both ordinary and scientists.
The latter even derived formulas for determining the ideal:
- The ideal leg length is half your height plus a few centimeters. If you have wide bones, then your legs should be 2-4 centimeters longer than half your height or 51-53% of your height. If the bones are normal, the length of the legs is equal to half the height and another 4-6 centimeters on top or 52-54% of the height. If the bone is thin, then the ideal legs are equal in length to half the height and another 6-9 centimeters or 53-55% of the height;
- In addition to length, an important parameter is the circumference of the ankles and upper thigh (i.e., the highest and thickest part of the leg). What should they be? To determine the ideal hip and ankle circumferences, height must be multiplied by 1/3 and 1/5, respectively. For example, if a girl is 168 centimeters tall, the optimal upper thigh circumference for her will be 168*1/3=56 centimeters, and the ankle circumference will be 168*1/5=33.6 centimeters.
As for the ideal ones, it is important that they are not even, like a stick, such legs do not look attractive at all. So, if you put your legs together, four windows should form: closer to the groin, in the lower part of the thigh above the knee, below the knee, between the lower leg and ankle - this curvature is considered ideal.
The girth of the place where the knees end and the shins begin should be equal to the girth of the ankles or be slightly thinner.
The ideal ankle should be thin and graceful, but not skinny and without protruding tendons. The ideal heel is round and slightly protruding.
The calf muscles should not be too developed or flabby, but harmoniously pumped up.
Ideal knees, when viewed from the side, should have no protrusions, with reverse side knees there must be a recess.
For women's legs, the appearance of the Achilles tendons is also important (they are located at the back, where the shin meets the heel). The tendons should be thin with symmetrical grooves on the sides.
What should a beautiful thigh look like? Closer to the groin it should become a little thinner, thanks to this, when placing your legs together, you will get the uppermost “window”.
The widest part of the thigh should be at the top. From the side, the thigh should look like a spindle: narrow at the top, protrudes slightly forward in the middle and deepens towards the knee, becoming narrower again.
The shape of the foot should be concave, a beautiful foot – thin and elongated. The fingers should be straight and compact, but free.
When assessing your own legs, the main thing is not the parameters, but the harmonious combination of the legs with the figure as a whole. After all, even legs that are ideal in all respects can look completely ugly with a massive upper body, while legs that do not meet the parameters will look amazing precisely with your weight and the state of your figure.
We already know what ideal legs should look like, all that remains is to figure out how to bring your own legs closer to the ideal.
How to make your legs perfect?
In the struggle for perfect legs, it is important not only to give them the correct shape, but also to take care of the skin. How to make the skin of your legs perfect, smooth and velvety? Everything is quite simple, you need to regularly care for your skin, cleanse and moisturize it.
You should exfoliate a couple of times a week, then apply body lotion or milk. After each shower, it is also necessary to use nourishing and moisturizing skin products.
