The longest legs in the world

They have a world-class model Adriana Sklenarikova. The length of her legs is 121.5 cm. Almost in the height of a man ... But the beauty of the legs is not only their length (legs can be crooked and too thin or, conversely, thick). The beauty of the legs is also their proportions with respect to the whole body.

Features of women's feet

For women of different nationalities, different lengths of legs are characteristic. For example, for African women, the length of the legs is more than that of Europeans (in the general mass). The legs of African women are not only long, but also slender - they have a special shape of calves, long rounded hips and graceful ankles. Then come the women of the Mediterranean with less long, but stronger and sculpted legs. The legs are shorter in eastern women, but for them this is not such a big problem, because their feet are strong, and the legs can be hidden under long clothes.

Length of legs and nature

Scientists have determined the regularity between the length of the legs and the character. And this is what happened: women, whom nature has endowed with long legs, are refined and dreamy, and women with short legs are more mundane and practical, but often they can change their point of view.

The manner of walking and character

In the manner of walking scientists can determine the nature of women. What are these patterns?

  • If a woman goes putting socks inside - it's a shy woman, it's not easy for her to meet people, communicate, new people.
  • If a woman has the equal footing of a shoe sole and a heel, then you have a good mother, a faithful wife with an excellent, even, stable character.
  • If the sole is left inside, it means that before us is a woman with a rich inner world, but accustomed to rely only on herself, is not inclined to turn to anyone for help.
  • If the sole is worn out along the outer edge, then the owner of the shoes is an imperious lady, who decides everything by willful methods.

Beauty foot parameters

If the girl's legs are slender and beautiful, proportional, then in the standing position with closed legs between them there should be 4 so-called windows. That is, the lumen. They are formed by the closing of the legs between the ankle and the foot, in the area above the ankle, and also above the knees and under the knees. The narrowest window is that which is located at the very top.

Parameters of the beauty of the knees

The knee is not a decisive, but very important factor in the beauty of the feet. The patella is considered beautiful, if it has the shape of a baby's face - plump, with cheeks. On a beautiful patella, the pits should also be visible, as if for the eye and for the chin.

  • The joint under the knee on a beautiful foot in thickness should be equal to the ankle.
  • On the knee there should be no sharp and sticky areas. The ideal knee is a round knee.
  • The dimple under the knees is one of the sexiest parts of the body. It is believed that the dimple under the knees is a sign of a sensual and erotic woman.
  • The knee of the beautiful leg divides the leg exactly in the middle, the lower and upper parts must be the same. Then the female leg is considered beautiful.

Foot relief

  • If the calf muscles of the leg are too inflated, then the relief of the leg may be damaged - its parts become disproportionate.
  • The ankle of a beautiful leg is thin, but not too thin - then the leg is considered perfect.
  • The leg in the area of the Achilles tendon should be with small notches that are parallel to each other. The tendon itself is considered beautiful if it is delicate.
  • A heel is considered beautiful if it is round and plump. It should not have a hard and rough crust.
  • The thigh is considered beautiful if it thins as it goes up. It must also be convex in front, its uppermost third must be the widest. A beautiful thigh narrows down the line, to the knee.
  • The foot of the beautiful leg is long, thin, with a low rise, it has thin and flexible fingers without curvature.

Proportion of beautiful legs

The height of the woman and the length of the legs should be proportional - then they are considered beautiful. How to determine this in numbers?

  1. The first and main digital ideal of beautiful legs - their length minus half the entire height is equal to two centimeters (for women with wide bone).
  2. The length of the legs minus half the total height for women with the usual width of bones - 4 centimeters.
  3. The length of the legs minus half the total height for women with thin bone - from 6 centimeters.

How correctly to measure the length of the legs?

It is necessary to measure by the centimeter their length from the hillock, which is visible on the femur, to the foot. The length of the legs is measured from the time when a person got an idea of the figures, and then it was a question of the proportions of the legs in relation to the body, and the proportion of the body itself. These proportions were thoroughly clarified by Poliklit, the ancient Greek, in the 5th century BC.

Proportions of the body

They have not changed to the present day. The waist in a harmoniously folded body should be twice the volume of the neck. As for the lower leg, its volume should be the same as the volume of the neck. The hip circumference in a harmonious body is one and a half the volume of the shin. The distance from the waist to the heels should be 3: 2.

Normal body

  1. Height - 161-165 centimeters, weight - 55 kg, the length of legs with this physique is equal to 84-86 centimeters
  2. Height - 166-170 centimeters, weight - 55-56 kilograms, length of legs - 90-92 centimeters
  3. Height - 171-75 centimeters, weight 60-61 kilograms, length of legs - 91-94 centimeters

Of course, for a woman little beautiful legs - is important and gait. From this slender legs win even more. Therefore, if the beauty of the legs is not given by nature, then it is worth working on your gait, and a woman will be able to change her perception of herself only for the better.
