What kind of figure should a girl have? Proportional female figure: how to calculate your ideal parameters. Ideal female figure: three body types

09.01.2024

By choosing a diet, any woman hopes to become more attractive, to be liked by others, and to get a chance to climb the career ladder. Once you set a goal, you can accept some dietary restrictions without them seeming debilitating. But first, you should still find out what result you need to strive for.

Ideal figure - ideal weight

First of all, you will have to buy scales to use them to find out your real weight. Only after this will it be possible to determine how many kilograms you have to get rid of. True, there are situations when you have to increase weight to get an ideal figure. After all, people differ from each other not only in character, appearance, but also in body structure. Therefore, to establish ideal proportions, it is very important to correctly determine your individual body type.

Women's body types

There are 3 main body types:
1. Thin-boned (asthenic) body type. Women with this body type have long limbs, thin bones, a long and thin neck, and relatively weakly developed muscles. As a rule, representatives of the thin-boned type are light in weight; they are active, active, and even with increased nutrition, they do not gain weight immediately, since they spend energy faster than they accumulate.
2. Normal (normosthenic) body type. Women of this physique are lucky. As a rule, they have a beautiful, proportionally built figure. The main body dimensions are distinguished by the correct ratio.
3. Broad-boned (hypersthenic). Representatives of this body type have larger transverse body dimensions than normosthenics and asthenics. They are distinguished by wide, thick and heavy bones; their shoulders, chest and hips are wide; legs are short. Women with this body type are most likely to be overweight. They have to be especially strict about their diet.

To determine your body type, it is enough to measure the circumference of the wrist of your working hand: for asthenics it is less than 16 cm, for normosthenics it is from 16 to 18.5 cm, for hypersthenics it is more than 18.5 cm.

Growth rate

A woman's height plays an important role in determining her ideal weight. For a long time, the following gradations of female growth were considered classic:
- low - 150 cm and below;
- below average - 151-156 cm;
- average - 157-167 cm;
- tall - 168-175 cm;
- very tall - 176 cm and above.

In the last quarter of the 20th century. In connection with acceleration, changes were made to this scale: for women with large bones and a normal body type, average (normal) height can be considered from 166 to 170 cm, and for thin-boned women - from 168 to 172 cm.

Leg length

Obviously, height largely depends on the length of the legs. After the profession of a fashion model became one of the most prestigious and highly paid, long legs became fashionable. But in practice, of course, one has to be content with what nature has given. The length of the legs should be measured from the trochanteric point (this is the tuberosity of the femur located opposite the hip joint) to the floor.

As a rule, long legs are characteristic of tall women of normosthenic and especially asthenic body types. Small women usually have short legs, but if they are proportional to their height, then the figure does not suffer. If the length of the legs is more than half the height, the physique can be considered correct (the proportions are met). Legs are considered short only if their length is less than half the height. Most often, such disproportion occurs in short women with a hypersthenic body type. But even in this case, you can visually hide the existing imbalance with the help of high-heeled shoes.

A figure can also be considered beautiful if the length of the legs is more than half the height by the following amount:
- for big-boned people - by 2-4 cm or more;
- for those with a normal body type - by 4-6 cm;
- for thin-boned ones - by 6-9 cm.

For example, if with a height of 168 cm and a normal body type, the length of a woman’s legs is 90 cm, then the proportions of her figure can be considered ideal: 90 - (168: 2) = 6.

Harmony of horizontal lines

Having found out the norms of vertical proportions, you can begin to determine the horizontal proportions. First you need to measure the circumference of your chest, waist and hips. Traditional standards for fashion models (90-60-90) are good for tall beauties performing on the catwalk. A short, plump woman who wants to look stately and attractive should strive for different standards.

For women with a normal body type, the ideal ratio is where the chest circumference is equal to half the height plus 2-5 cm. To determine the bust size, you need to measure the chest circumference and add 8-10 cm to the resulting result. To calculate the ideal waist size from the height indicator should be subtracted 100-105 cm. The size of the hips should exceed the waist circumference by about 30 cm.

For thin-boned girls, a ratio in which the chest circumference is 84-86 cm, and the bust circumference is 4-6 cm larger than these values, can be considered normal. The waist of such girls is usually thin - 60-64 cm, and the hip circumference is about 30 cm larger. In women with a large-boned body type, these figures are significantly higher. So, the chest circumference should exceed half the height by 8-10 cm; to determine the bust circumference, another 8-10 cm should be added to the chest circumference. With a height of 166-168 cm, a waist with a circumference of 70-76 cm would be ideal; The hip circumference should be 25-28 cm larger.

Height to weight ratio. Methods for determining weight

So, body weight depends on the body type, height and age of a person. The easiest way for a modern woman to determine her normal weight is to trust the calculations of science. The easiest way is to use the formula proposed back in the 19th century. by the famous French anthropologist Paul Broca: weight in kilograms is equal to height in centimeters minus 100. Today this formula can be left for older people. For 18-50 year olds, according to the latest ideas, it is necessary to subtract another 5-10% of weight from the resulting result.

You can calculate normal weight quite accurately using the so-called Quetelet index: weight in grams must be divided by height in centimeters. For women aged 16 to 40 years, height in centimeters should be multiplied by the weight-height coefficient corresponding to age and body type. On average, it may look like this: with a thin-boned body type, for every centimeter of height it is enough to have 325 g of weight; for women with a normal body type - 350 g, and for those with a large-boned body type - 375 g.

It must be emphasized that the ideal weight of women (especially those whose height is below 160 cm) should be 10-15% less than normal. For short women up to at least 20 years of age, it is advisable to weigh 3-5 kg less than normal.

The great Leonardo da Vinci was one of the first to study and define the ideal parameters of the 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, because 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 different body types 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, a thin neck, and 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 does not have a very thin waist and normal, not narrow hips, everything seems 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 correct ratio. Most beautiful female figures are found precisely with this body type.

In representatives of a hypersthenic (big-boned) physique, the transverse dimensions of the body predominate. 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.

True, in recent 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.

Correct legs

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.

The length of the legs should be measured from the protrusion of the 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 the ideal weight of 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.

Age (years)	Body types
Age (years)	thin-boned	Normoskeletal	Broad-boned
15-18 19-25 26-39	315 325 335	325 345 360	355 370 380

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 the 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 whites indicators for young women (18 - 28 years old) of a normosthenic body type can be considered if the chest circumference is 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 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 and legs, a higher waistline, wider shoulders with the same body size, and 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.

Body types in women are variants of the normal human constitution. This means that the constitution determines the appearance and health of its owner. Basically, the structural features of the female body are hereditary in nature, but initially knowing your body type, you can make timely adjustments from an early age.

Variations of the female figure

There are several systems for grading the appearance of the female body. The most common is a very simple and understandable way to determine body shape:

asthenic (or hyposthenic);
normosthenic;
hypersthenic.

If you think that knowing your body type is not particularly important, bet. Certain body types have different problem areas, which you can “sweat” in the gym, change your diet, rhythm of life and choose the best clothes.

Wrist size is an indicator of body type

Sometimes you don’t want to bother or it’s difficult to decide on your own silhouette, but there is an easy way to determine a woman’s body type by just measuring her wrist. The Solovyov index is a parameter that will help you decide on the type. It is equal to the circumference of the wrist in centimeters.

Calculation of the indicator:

Less than 15 - asthenic;
In zone 15-17 - normosthenic;
More than 17 is hypersthenic.

Asthenic body type in ectomorph women

According to generally accepted opinion, these are the very happy owners of slender and thin figures. According to other ladies, these women are witches who eat a lot and practically do not gain weight. Note that there are two sides of the same coin. In their youth, asthenic ladies are slender, but with age, fat is still deposited in the most unattractive places: on the back and waist, which forms an untidy and disproportionate image.
It is easier for such women to maintain good physical shape, because their lipids accumulate slowly. Of the minuses, we note that although these girls are wiry, thin and energetic, untrained young ladies have the lowest level of endurance and strength indicators.

Muscle development turns into pure torture for ectomorphs. Since growth processes are slowed down not only in fat, but also in muscles. That is why it is very difficult to give a sporty, pumped-up look to the silhouette.
The appearance of such ladies is not particularly popular among men, because they are angular, lack pleasant roundness and look like teenagers. Any model on the show is a prime example of this body type.
The shortened “upper” part of the body and long limbs create the illusion of “legs from ears”. Poorly developed lipid tissue often affects the size of the bust, and sometimes causes its absence.
Narrow shoulders and chest, narrow feet and hands and a narrow waist! The Solovyov index, which helps determine your body type based on your wrist, is less than 15.
As for training, it is easier for such ladies, since they almost never have to struggle with excess weight. An ectomorph woman can immediately begin strength training in the form of a split, avoiding aerobic counterparts.
After achieving the desired results, you should definitely undergo an unpleasant but effective “drying” procedure.
With possible weight loss, these young ladies first begin to “lose” their muscles, so calorie restriction will not help with figure correction. The panacea is a special diet and strength training.

Normosthenic body type - mesomorphs

No matter how fickle youth fashion dictates the demand for skinny young ladies, the figure of a mesomorphic (normosthenic) woman is considered the classic ideal of beauty. They don't appear emaciated or compass women. Their body is proportional, with well-developed muscle tissue and a minimum of fat. Such girls are naturally athletic and sculpted.
Mesomorph instantly loses fat reserves if desired and gains muscle mass at lightning speed. By nature, their metabolic rate is high, but with age, in the absence of adequate physical activity, metabolic processes slow down significantly, and weight rapidly creeps up.

The part of the body at the top is slightly smaller than the one at the bottom, i.e. the legs are not too big, but they are not short either. At the same time, the sizes of the chest, hands and feet are average.
Solovyov index for wrist size 15-17.
Often the figure resembles the notorious hourglass, and if you are overweight, it resembles a pear or an apple.
Young ladies with similar parameters can achieve records in sports in the shortest possible time.
The problem of a “wasp waist” is quite acute in this case, because curvy ladies will have to sweat in the gym to achieve the desired shape. Among sports disciplines, it is worth paying attention to game types: basketball, volleyball, aerobics and tennis.

Hypersthenic body constitution - endomorphs

Endomorphs (people with the hypersthenic type) are precisely those individuals whom sculptors and artists lovingly praised in their works. “Venus de Milo” by Botticelli, “Danae” by Titian, modern beauty icons Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe, Beyoncé and other ladies “in the body” are a vivid personification of this type of “body structure”. Curvy young ladies are famous for their femininity and sensuality.

Such girls justify their excess weight by heredity, by the fact that there should be a lot of good people and by the fact that men do not throw dice, but there is a fundamental difference. From birth, endomorphs have more adipose tissue than muscle tissue, but this does not mean that such ladies are doomed to eternal obesity. This variation of the fair sex should only be given more time and effort to bring the figure back to normal. Only laziness prevents such girls from being pumped up and elastic.
Transverse dimensions predominate over longitudinal ones (legs and arms are short). The chest is wide, the waist is the same, massive hips, large joints, feet and hands.
The Solovyov index is more than 17 positions.

Fat mass predominates over muscle mass.
The combination of feminine curves and good muscle tone will give trained endomorph ladies a seductive and exciting image.
But if such a young lady suddenly decides to lose weight and turn into a withered roach, she will have to make titanic efforts, which are unlikely to be crowned with success.
Even if losing weight is successful, the girl’s appearance will turn out to be painful and disproportionate. In such individuals, muscles grow beautifully, but they are difficult to see under a dense layer of fat, which must first be burned. The latter is problematic, since metabolic processes in this form are significantly inferior in speed to the previous two.
Stored fat is difficult to lose, and for training we advise you to choose intense cardio workouts with moderate load and change your diet to low-carbohydrate. Remember that breakdowns and relaxations will lead to an immediate return of lost kilos.

You have learned the main female body types, we have described their features, advantages and disadvantages. As you may have noticed, there is no “bad” or “good” physique, each has its own flavor. But we note that there is a common feature for everyone - beauty and women’s health directly depend on the regularity of her visits to the gym.

Remember, no matter what your silhouette is, only proper nutrition and increased physical activity will preserve female attractiveness for a long time.

Video: Typology of female physique

By choosing a diet, any woman hopes to become more attractive, to be liked by others, and to get a chance to climb the career ladder.

Once you set a goal, you can accept some dietary restrictions without them seeming debilitating. But first, you should still find out what result you need to strive for.

1. Thin-boned (asthenic) body type. Women with this body type have long limbs, thin bones, a long and thin neck, and relatively weakly developed muscles. As a rule, representatives of the thin-boned type are light in weight; they are active, active, and even with increased nutrition, they do not gain weight immediately, since they spend energy faster than they accumulate.

2. Normal (normosthenic) body type. Women of this physique are lucky. As a rule, they have a beautiful, proportionally built figure. The main body dimensions are distinguished by the correct ratio.

3. Large-boned (hypersthenic)body type. Representatives of this body type have larger transverse body dimensions than normosthenics and asthenics. They are distinguished by wide, thick and heavy bones; their shoulders, chest and hips are wide; legs are short. Women with this body type are most likely to be overweight. They have to be especially strict about their diet.

Growth rate
A woman's height plays an important role in determining her ideal weight.

For a long time, the following gradations of female growth were considered classic:
— low — 150 cm and below;
- below average - 151-156 cm;
- average - 157-167 cm;
— tall - 168-175 cm;
- very tall - 176 cm and above.

Leg length

A figure can also be considered beautiful if the length of the legs is more than half the height by the following amount:
- for large-boned animals - by 2-4 cm or more;
- for those with a normal body type - by 4-6 cm;
- in thin-boned ones - by 6-9 cm.

For example, if with a height of 168 cm and a normal body type, the length of a woman’s legs is 90 cm, then the proportions of her figure can be considered ideal: 90 - (168: 2) = 6.

Height to weight ratio. Methods for determining weight

So, body weight depends on the body type, height and age of a person. The easiest way for a modern woman to determine her normal weight is to trust the calculations of science.

Calculation of ideal weight using Broca's formula

The easiest way is to use the formula proposed back in the 19th century. by the famous French anthropologist Paul Broca: weight in kilograms is equal to height in centimeters minus 100. With height up to 165 cm, the coefficient is 100, up to 175 cm - 105, above 175 cm - 110.
According to the latest ideas, the formula can take into account age: for 20-40 year olds, weight should be reduced by about 11%, for people over 50 - increased by about 6%.
The formula can take into account a person’s body type - asthenic (thin-boned), normosthenic (normal-boned) and hypersthenic (broad-boned). Body type is determined by the girth of the wrist of the working hand.
For women, the asthenic type is the wrist girth less than 16 cm, the normosthenic type is 16-18 cm, and more is hypersthenic. For men, the asthenic type is a girth of less than 17 cm, the normosthenic type is 17-20 cm, and more is hypersthenic. Accordingly, for the asthenic type the weight should be reduced by about 10%, for the hypersthenic type it should be increased.

Thus, the ideal female parameters are:
For hypersthenics with a height of 170 centimeters, weight should be 70 kilograms. Such women have a dense physique, and they have more fat than muscle. The formula for the ideal weight for this type of figure is simple: height minus 100. A hypersthenic’s wrist is never narrow - from 18 centimeters.

Normosthenics have average height. The figure is not as dense as that of a hypersthenic. But there is more muscle than fat. To calculate the ideal weight for a normosthenic person, you need to remember the formula - height minus 103. So, with a height of 170 centimeters, the ideal weight is 67 kilograms. Wrist circumference - 17 centimeters.

The most graceful type is asthenic. With an elongated figure, asthenics cannot boast of shape, even if they eat for two. The formula for the ideal weight of an asthenic is height minus 110. So, with a height of 170 centimeters, the norm for an asthenic is 60 kilograms, and the circumference of the wrist is no more than 15 centimeters.

Doctors warn: a person’s physique is a given given at birth, changing which by following a diet is dangerous to health

Calculation of ideal weight according to Quetelet index
You can calculate normal weight quite accurately using the so-called Quetelet index: weight in grams must be divided by height in centimeters. For women aged 16 to 40 years, height in centimeters should be multiplied by the weight-height coefficient corresponding to age and body type. On average, it may look like this: with a thin-boned body type, for every centimeter of height it is enough to have 325 g of weight; for women with a normal body type - 350 g, and for those with a large-boned body type - 375 g.

For many years, residents all over the planet have been asking the question: “What are the ideal proportions of a female body?” It turns out that the 90-60-90 we are used to was not always an example of an ideal figure.

Body proportions should not be identical for all individuals of the fair sex, because there are different types of body constitution that Mother Nature has awarded us.

Research has shown that there are three main types of female body:

Asthenic, that is, thin-boned.
All owners of such a body, as a rule, have elongated legs and arms, a thin neck, and practically no muscle mass. Girls of this body type are not prone to being overweight, they are energetic and very active.
Normosthenic – normoskeletal.
This type is considered as close to ideal as possible, because all parts of the body look proportional and harmonious.
Hypersthenic – large-boned.
Girls of this constitution are characterized by increased transverse dimensions of the body: the shoulders, hip bone and chest have a slightly wide appearance. The skeletal system is thickened and therefore heavy. They often say about such people that they “have a heavy hand,” but this is actually true. Typically, people with this body type have slightly short legs. And they are prone to excess weight.

If you want to know what type you are, quickly find a measuring tape and measure the circumference of your wrist. If your centimeter showed a figure less than 16 cm, then you are classified as asthenic, a figure in the range from 16 to 18.5 cm indicates a normoskeletal type, but if you saw the number 18.5 cm on the measuring tape, then you have become the owner of a hypersthenic type. about physique. Sometimes you can find mixed types of body constitution.

Ideal proportions: do they even exist?

The attractiveness of a woman's body is a very difficult issue, so it is impossible to unanimously say that body proportions should be the same. Because one man likes a woman with a large bust, while another will be absolutely indifferent to her.

But, despite this, there are still some ideal proportions that are considered the most attractive to the stronger sex. These indicators were collected over many years, through long-term studies and numerous social surveys in which only men took part.

Refined waist that attracts men

As you know, many men love slender girls who can boast of a thin waist.

The table below will help you find out whether you are the lucky owner of a wasp waist.

Height (cm)	Waist circumference (cm)
148-150	55
151-152	56
153-154	57
155-156	58
157-158	59
159-160	60
161-162	61
163-164	62
165-166	63
167-168	64
169-170	65
171-172	66
173-174	67
175-176	68
177-178	69
179-180	70
181-182	71
183-184	72
185-186	73
187-188	74
189-190	75

Again, we are talking about averages based on social surveys. There are men who are not delighted with sophisticated forms, but on the contrary, they love ladies with curvy figures.

What should your hips and chest be like to have an ideal figure?

If you know the circumference of your chest and hips, then this will also help you determine the “correctness” of your body. This indicator is also called “wiles”.

If you have a normal bone build, then indicators that can be calculated as follows will be considered normal: take the chest circumference and add 80-100 mm, while “ideal” hips should be 250-300 mm larger than the waist circumference.

If you have a thin-boned body constitution, then with a chest circumference of 840-860 mm, the bust norm will be 40-60 mm larger than these values.

Professor of psychological sciences Devendra Singh achieved the same success in research back in the early 90s. But only its proportionality between the hips and waist was calculated as a percentage. If you rely on his theory, then the ideal waist is considered to be one that is 60-70% less than the volume of the hips.

If you want to calculate your proportions yourself, then you need to divide your waist size by your hip size, and if the resulting coefficient is within the range of 0.6 to 0.7, rejoice, you have perfect shape. And by the way, the ideal proportions of the female body were in the Venus de Milo and the Nude by Rubens - they each had 70%. But among the people we know, Claudia Schiffer – 68%, Cindy Crawford – 68%, Kylie Minogue – 69% were awarded such proportions.

From a medical point of view, the proportionality of waist circumference to hip circumference should not exceed the endocrine balance coefficient, which, in turn, is equal to 0.85. Therefore, if your waist is no more than 85% of your hips, then your figure is in perfect order from both an aesthetic and medical point of view.

Graceful growth

If we talk about this component, or more precisely about ideal height, then it is divided into five groups: low height - 1.5 m and below, below average height - 1.51-1.56 m, average height - 1.57-1 .67 m, tall – 1.68-1.75 m, very tall – 1.76 m and above.

However, these indicators are a little outdated today, as the acceleration of modern youth has occurred. As a result, the following figures can be noted: for normosthenic and hypersthenic physiques it is 1.66-1.7 m, and for asthenic physiques it is 1.68-1.72 m.

What should perfect legs look like?

Now let's talk about “flawless” legs. It turns out that there is a certain pattern between human height and the length of his lower limbs. Short legs are those that are less than half the length of the entire body. As a rule, legs that are slightly larger than half the body are considered close to ideal.

For girls who belong to the hypersthenic type, ideal legs are half the body plus 20-40 mm, for a normosthenic constitution - half the height plus 40-60 mm, and for those who have an asthenic physique - half the length of the entire body plus 60 -90 mm. For example, you have a normal bone constitution and a height of 170 cm, now we count: 170: 2 = 85, 85 + 6 = 91, these are the legs that are considered ideal.

It is necessary to measure the length of the legs from the floor to the protrusion of the hip bone. If you are blessed with legs that are slightly shorter than the above norm, then this can be corrected with heeled or platform shoes. And by the way, choose the heel height based on the ideal size, this will help you attract the attention of the opposite sex.

As for the circumference of the calf muscle, thigh and ankle, these indicators also depend on body composition.

The table in which we present these proportions is given below.

In addition, if the legs are “standard”, then three gaps should be visible between them. To test this, stand in front of a long mirror so that you can be seen at full length, and close your legs, pressing your heels together and placing your toes apart. If you are the owner of perfect legs, then you should see one gap between the knee joints and calves, another between the knees and hips, and a third between the calves and ankle. And in other places the legs should be pressed tightly against one another.

So we figured out an issue that is so important for us women. As you can see, ideal proportions are far from being a standard model that everyone should follow. Every girl has her own ideal legs, chest, waist and hips; you just need to determine what body type you are.

Therefore, girls, do not follow the prototypes. We sincerely wish you to have ideal proportions!
