The concept of female beauty has been constantly changing throughout the history of mankind. But always it was the breasts that paid special attention. And the jokes about the attractiveness of this part of the body for men have no end in sight.
Modesty
Large, large breasts were not always ideal. In ancient Greece, for example, harmonious body composition and proportions were most valued . In this regard, girls who had outstanding shapes that would delight modern men were forced to wear a special bandage that stretches their breasts.
In the early Middle Ages rather severe morals reigned: under the clothes all parts of the body were hidden from prying eyes, and there was no talk of fashion for the size of the bust. The female image was full of chastity, and the forms, if they were, were carefully hidden by draperies and high collars. Then the cult of the Beautiful Lady reigned in Europe, which was admired from afar, devoting her poems and victories in tournaments. Girls were supposed to be attractive and inaccessible, clothes began to emphasize the dignity of the figure, but was still closed, and high female breasts became fashionable.
The magnificent forms of the Renaissance
The Renaissance returned the cult of a beautiful body, overthrowing the chastity of the early Middle Ages. Naked beauties appeared on the canvases of artists. The standards of beauty were large high breasts and lush hips. Strict restraint of clothes gave way to bright colors and rich fabrics, designed to emphasize forms. A neckline appeared on the women's dress, revealing the neck and upper part of the bust, decorated with lace and jewelry.
Over time, dresses became more and more open, the volume of the chest was emphasized by corsets, which pulled the waist down to unimaginable sizes, due to this, even modest forms looked magnificent and airy, attracting an admiring masculine look.
XX century and sexual revolution
The era of change has come. One of the main symbols of the sexual revolution - a miniskirt - opened female legs. And if earlier the attention of men was mainly attracted by the bust, and their legs were hidden by lush long dresses, now women could choose their weapons. And again, increased attention to body proportions returned: the chest volume is again correlated with the waist and hips, emphasizing the smoothness of the lines. Then there was another coup in fashion for female forms. The famous Twiggy model demonstrated an androgynous type of body: thin, with a flat chest and hips, like a teenage boy, she subdued fashion designers.
It is on such a figure that it is best to demonstrate designer outfits on the catwalk: the female body no longer distracts from the beauty of clothes, any style looked good on tall long-legged girls. Then the incredible happened - a similar female appearance was elevated to the absolute: long legs, hair and nails, slimness bordering on thinness, small high chest. Those who did not possess this combination could be considered pretty, no more. A whole generation of girls was constantly losing weight, sitting on dangerous diets, and sobbed by the mirror, looking at pictures in magazines. But nature takes its toll. And no matter what the women say, the main instinct that attracts men to them, and not fashion trends.
What really attracts men?
The reasons for the attractiveness of the female breast for men are mainly physiological. The male gaze covers the figure of a woman as a whole, and at a subconscious level, for example, a narrow waist indicates that the woman has not yet had a baby and is ready to reproduce offspring. But no one measures the waist with a centimeter on the first date, which means that the size is determined “by eye”, in proportion to other parts of the body. Here, for the first time, a woman’s bust attracts close attention: a high breast of the correct form, firstly, emphasizes the waist, and secondly, it speaks of the ability to feed a baby, and the ratio of her size, hips, height, skin condition gives an instant assessment of health women on a subconscious level.
How to make breasts attractive?
Not everyone is lucky to have beautiful breasts by nature. Regular exercise, correct posture, as well as basic skin care in the neck and decollete will make it supple and beautiful. But what if, for some reason, the chest is still far from ideal, but you want to look good now? Here, women come to the aid of underwear and clothing. Choosing the right bra, you can create attractive shapes, adjust the size and volume. It is important to ensure that his straps do not bite into the shoulders - this unnecessarily loads the cervical spine. High breasts look beautiful in an elegant neckline of a dress, you can draw attention to it with the help of an elegant brooch or necklace, a lace trim gives a delicate and romantic look. Skirts and high-waisted trousers perfectly emphasize the neckline .
The main thing is to feel comfortable and confident, keep your back straight and straighten your shoulders - then any shapes will look attractive.
