The longer the legs, the more attractive a woman looks in the eyes of men - many representatives of the "weaker" sex believe.
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 height? Can't a woman of average height boast long legs? Let's figure it out now.
The height of a woman can certainly dictate the length of her legs, but the main thing is the proportions. Anyone can measure the length of the legs and boast of the results. 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.
- Broad-boned body type. This body type has broad bones, broad shoulders and hips, and most often short legs.
How to measure leg length for each body type?
Let's immediately pay attention to the fact that the measurement technology does not depend on the type of physique. Howeverbeautiful and proportional we usually call a figure whose leg length is more than 50% of the woman's height by the following values:
- for thin-boned women within 8 centimeters;
- women of normal build - 5 centimeters;
- large-boned - 2 centimeters.
So, how to measure the length of the legs? It is necessary to undress (so the results will be more accurate) and stand in front of the mirror, keeping your back straight. For measurements, you need a centimeter tape. In order for the results to be the most accurate, it is advisable not to carry out this procedure yourself, but to ask someone to help (mother, aunt, girlfriend, sister - it doesn’t 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, along the outer side of the thigh from the waist to the foot. At the same time, you need to stand on a flat surface to avoid errors.
If you still have to carry out this business alone, then you can lead the centimeter tape not from top to bottom (as mentioned above), but vice versa, from bottom to top, stepping on it with your foot. At the same time, you need to keep your back straight. For the objectivity of the data obtained, both legs can be measured.
A bit of arithmetic: with a height of 165 cm (average), a girl with a normal physique will be considered ideal legs whose length is 82-86 cm. With a thin-boned body type with the same height - from 90 cm to 92 cm, and atwide-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 ones - short. But don't take these numbers too seriously. After all, in order to visually increase, decrease or simply make your body (in particular the legs) proportional, you can use the following techniques:
- correctly choose the length of clothes (for example, trousers should be 2 cm longer);
- correctly choose the height of the heel (with short legs we choose the heel higher, with long legs - lower).
Conclusion
This way you can hide the imperfections of the figure and look irresistible in the eyes of others (primarily men)!
