The longer the legs, the more attractive the woman looks in the eyes of men - many representatives of the "weaker" sex consider.
How to measure the length of the legs? The answer to this question is trying to find hundreds of thousands of women around the world, regardless of nationality and age. Does the length of the legs depend solely on growth? Can't a middle-aged woman boast long legs? Now let's figure it out.
The growth of a woman, of course, can dictate the length of her legs, but the main thing is proportions. Anyone can measure the length of the legs and boast of the results obtained. There are three types of female physique:
- Thin-boned body type. Most often, representatives of this type are distinguished by long legs, arms and neck, thin bones.
- Normal body type. Representatives of this type have proportional body sizes.
- Wide-bodied body type. Representatives of this type of physique have wide bones, broad shoulders and hips, and most often short legs.
How to measure the length of the legs of the representatives of each body type?
We immediately draw attention to the fact that the measurement technology does not depend on the type of physique. However, we usually call a beautiful and proportional figure, in which the length of the legs is more than 50% of the woman's height by the following values:
- in thin-boned representatives within 8 centimeters;
- representatives of a normal physique - 5 centimeters;
- in broad-bones - 2 centimeters.
So how to measure the length of the legs? You need to undress (so the results will be more accurate) and stand in front of the mirror, keeping your back straight. For measurements you will need a centimeter tape. In order for the results to be most accurate, it is advisable not to conduct this procedure itself, but to ask someone to help (mom, aunt, girlfriend, sister - it does not matter).
Measurement methods
How to measure the length of the legs? You should start from the protruding part of the hip bone to the floor, that is, on the outside of the thigh from the waist to the foot. At the same time, you need to stand on a flat surface in order to avoid errors.
If you still have to conduct this business alone, then you can conduct a centimeter tape not from top to bottom (as mentioned above), but rather, from bottom to top, stepping on it with your foot. At the same time, you need to keep your back still. For objectivity of the obtained data, both legs can be measured.
A bit of arithmetic: with a growth of 165 cm (average), a girl with a normal physique will have ideal legs, the length of which is 82-86 cm. With a thin-boned type of physique with the same height - from 90 cm to 92 cm, and with a wide-boned - from 83 cm to 84.5 cm. With results exceeding these values, we can say that the girl has long legs, and with smaller legs. But you should not take these numbers too seriously. After all, in order to visually increase, decrease, or simply make your body (in particular legs) proportional, you can use the following techniques:
- choose the right length of clothing (for example, trousers should be 2 cm longer);
- choose the height of the heel correctly (with short legs choose the heel higher, with long legs lower).
Conclusion
Thus, you can hide the imperfections of the figure and look in the eyes of others (especially men) is irresistible!
