Today, more and more often, girls with a figure of 90-60-90 flash on the network, on a television screen or on a glossy photo. For many women, these are not just numbers, but the so-called āgolden standard of beauty,ā which one must strive for. And girls lose weight, go on diets, exhaust themselves with power exercises, refuse food or other pleasures in life in order to achieve ideal parameters. But is it worth it?
Where did these standards come from?
Fashion has long dictated its conditions to us. And for several decades now, the ideal figure is 90-60-90. The most interesting thing is that the author who invented these standards is still unknown. But where did they come from then?
Such fantastic standards came into fashion at a time when television was actively developing. Constant shooting and video recordings ... Many probably know that video cameras have one "unpleasant" effect. On the video, people look much fuller than they are in ordinary life. In order for everything to be beautiful in the film and advertising, an original method was found. During the shooting, rather thin models were used (photo - figure 90-60-90). And so on the screen they looked quite attractive, although in real life they were skinny. Of course, this effect is not noticeable to the audience, so they believe that 90-60-90 is the figure of the ideal woman that they see on the screen.
Why exactly these numbers, no more, no less? This is also unknown. Perhaps these numbers are just a whim of fashion designers, who are much more comfortable to sew clothes for skinny women. After all, it is known that at the end of the last century, fashion maestros began to put forward parameters 90-60-90 for their models. However, why ordinary women have adopted these numbers is difficult to explain.
The pursuit of beauty
In recent years, the figures of girls resembling teenage boys have become increasingly popular. No breasts, no hips, no priests - nothing is visible. Solid "boards" or "hangers", as they are called. And their main advantage is legs. Long thin legs to walk on the catwalk, and the figure of the model 90-60-90.
The fact is that in the modeling business, fashion dealers are mostly men. However, they differ from ordinary representatives of the stronger sex. Fashion designers are peculiar personalities. Like women, they love paints, fabrics, jewelry. Like women, they strive for beauty in all its manifestations, as well as ... for handsome young men. Therefore, creating clothes for real women, they strive to turn them into young men: languid, tall, flat-chested ...
So who is walking on the catwalk? Woman or man? Maybe something third? And is this called beauty? And should we strive for this?
One way or another, but most women who claim that they do not need sizes 90-60-90, while losing weight, tend to them. Indeed, models with such parameters flaunt on the covers of magazines, and even more so on the screen or in clothing catalogs.
Creepy scheme
It turns out that in the model world there is a special scheme according to which ideal parameters for fashion models are calculated. How much should the model weigh so that it has a figure of 90-60-90.
According to this scheme, the girlās weight should be equal to her height, from which they subtracted 100 centimeters and took another 10 percent. And models follow this rule. But with this approach, it turns out that if the girl's height is 180 centimeters, then the weight should not exceed 62 kilograms. This is wild! Of course, few people can correspond to such an ideal, because for an ordinary girl with a normal physique this threatens exhaustion.
However, women strive for the desired "ideal." In orderly and not very rows, they go to fitness centers, where a specific goal is set in front of themselves and before the trainers: figure 90-60-90. They begin to exhaust themselves with power exercises and strict diets, which, as a rule, do not bring success.
Why doesnāt it work?
Failure in this case is explained by just one word - genetics. If a woman has a wide bone and body type is clearly located to other parameters, it is useless to try to change anything. If the older women in the girlās family (grandmother, mother) were ladies āin the bodyā, then she should not even strain herself on the simulators and starve herself to become a slim doe. And you need to come to terms with this, and not try to fight and go against nature.
Do not give up
However, accepting yourself and your figure does not mean at all that you can completely abandon sports and grow fat. Even if the structure of your figure cannot be changed, you must at least try to bring it into a beautiful view and prevent the formation of fat folds on the stomach and waist. Tighten the muscles of your legs, arms, abdomen and buttocks, strengthen your back - and you will gain self-confidence and understand that there is only one perfect figure in the world, and it is yours.
In order to correctly calculate the weight and body parameters, you need to consider many different factors. And this is not only the girlās growth, but also age, physique, state of health, wrist circumference and much more. Therefore, do not use the creepy formula developed by the fashion industry. To find out the ideal formula that is right for you, you should consult a nutritionist. The doctor will tell you which silhouette is most harmonious for you. And itās not at all necessary that it will be the same figure 90-60-90.
Think soberly
Remember that the figure of a girl 90-60-90 looks beautiful with short stature. And if the woman has the same parameters with an increase of 180 centimeters?
Not. Nature never adapts to fashion. Creating a girl with a high growth, she gives her a stronger skeleton, heavy bone and a wide chest. Such a girl will initially have more volumes than a low one. And to achieve the cherished ideal will have to lose weight. Strong, to the skin-covered bones. But on the other hand, the "golden standards of beauty." And now a model, wrapped in a fashionable dress, walks along the catwalk ... And then dies of exhaustion. And the worst thing is that she is not alone. After all, thousands of girls around the world in an attempt to keep up with the ideal exhaust themselves with hunger.
Gold standards 90-60-90 are imposed on us by the fashion industry. And all because on such a skinny figure, without bulges and bends, it is much easier to sew clothes for shows. And we, adults, are well aware of all this, but still we are making a comparison between ourselves and the on-screen beauties.
Then it is worth paying attention to those who have long been recognized as the standard of femininity and beauty. Are cherished numbers really important to them?
Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett has a feminine figure admired by crowds of men all over the planet. However, it does not fall under the āgold standardā. With an increase of 163 centimeters, the actress weighs 57 kilograms, and her parameters: 95-68-91.
Her figure can hardly be called a model, but Scarlett does not need it at all - her charm and beauty are undeniable. And the crowds of fans are direct proof of this. However, this does not mean that the actress does not follow her figure. Every day, a Hollywood star performs simple physical exercises. Her program is as follows: 30 minutes - cardio warm-up, then running at a slow pace, push-ups and squats. Plus, an easy diet. Scarlett adheres to a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition. He tries to minimize the use of fried and fast food, preferring fruits and fresh vegetables.
Beyonce
The chic figure and seductive forms of the singer undoubtedly helped her to conquer the millionth army of fans. Beyonce is proud of his body and does not strive for the mythical 90-60-90. With an increase of 165 centimeters, it weighs 61 kilograms, and its parameters are 87-65-100. Although at a young age, the singer was shy and beautiful did not consider herself.
Seductive Beyonce adheres to strict diets only before filming and performances, the rest of the time she simply can not live without such a favorite and familiar American food. True, she does not forget to engage in a daily dance studio.
Kim Kardashian
Socialite and the star of the reality show is clearly far from the standard proportions of beauty. With an increase of 157 centimeters, it weighs 56 kilograms, and its parameters: 89 - 65 - 101.
However, she is not at all complex about this, and even glad. Kim never aspired to thinness, and considers her big hips very sexy and attractive, in which millions of male fans support her. Kardashian does not hesitate to wear tight dresses and jeans, frankly demonstrating his merits. And her boyfriend rapper Kanye West adheres to the principle of "the more the merrier."
Jennifer Lopez
Jay Law is one of the idols of beauty. However, its parameters are also far from the āgold standardā. With a growth of 167 centimeters, Jay Law weighs 56 kilograms, its size: 88-58-96. She does not have a
model appearance at all
, but this does not stop her from being considered one of the most beautiful and sexy Hollywood stars.
Of course, Jennifer makes a lot of efforts in order to keep fit, especially after childbirth. She adheres to a low-calorie diet (daily norm - 1400 kcal) with frequent meals in small portions, and also tries to exercise in the gym daily.
By the way, more recently, the singer released her own line of sportswear to support everyone who is friends with sports and with her figure.
Kate Winslet
The star of the Titanic, despite its modeled appearance (Kate weighs 63 kilograms with a height of 169 centimeters and has parameters: 91-71-94), is one of the twenty sexiest actresses in Hollywood.
By the way, Kate is familiar with ridicule and mockery, because in childhood she was a real "bun". Despite this, the actress did not become a victim of weight loss at all costs. Kate adheres to a simple but effective principle: eat less, move more. However, after giving birth, the actress still went on a diet, thanks to which she got rid of 25 kilograms.
As you can see, all these women, despite the completely different parameters of the figure, are amazingly beautiful. So, we can safely conclude that the real secret of female beauty is not at all in volumes or in invented 90-60-90. Beauty is completely different - in its natural charm, zest, love for oneās own body and ability to maintain in perfect shape what nature gave.
