In early summer 2013, before the beach season, Venus & Braun surveyed 1,000 women aged 18 to 40, who had to answer two questions: “Which part of your body causes you the most anxiety?” and “What part of the body would you most like to receive a compliment?” As it turned out, the most difficult thing to maintain is the beauty of the abdomen, secondly the beauty of the legs, then in descending order there are such parts of the body as the buttocks, arms, thighs and others. However, what is interesting is that a compliment on the legs is the most pleasant for the majority of respondents.

The Kong sisters are twins from China, and the length of their legs is truly amazing. Even without shoes, they seem very long, and in high-heeled shoes they seem simply endless. Harsh critics may quibble with the shape of the knee, but the photo below of one of the Kong sisters shows off these truly graceful legs at their best.

But don't forget that photography works wonders. A favorable angle will make almost anyone look beautiful. In reality, only a few out of a huge number of women really have a good reason to say: “I don’t have the most beautiful legs.” Others are simply overly self-critical or lazy. If a woman maintains excellent physical shape, knows how to emphasize the advantages of her figure, and monitors the condition of her skin, she can be proud of the beauty of her legs.

Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe is recognized as the owner of the most iconic legs in history, Metro reports, citing the results of a survey conducted by the Wilkinson Sword brand.

According to the publication, 47 percent of respondents voted for the actress’s legs. Second place in the ranking went to singer Kylie Minogue, third - top model of the 1960s Twiggy.

The top 10 most impressive pairs of legs are ranked as follows:

2. Kylie Minogue, singer (22 percent)

3. Twiggy, model (17 percent)


4. Tina Turner, singer (16 percent)

5. Geri Halliwell, singer (15 percent)

6. Betty Grable, actress and singer (7.8 percent)

7. Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge (7.4 percent)

8. Angelina Jolie, actress (7.2 percent)

9. Victoria Pendleton, athlete (6.5 percent)

10. Audrey Hepburn, actress (4.9 percent)

More than a thousand women aged 16 to 55 years took part in the study.

Similar star attractiveness ratings are regularly compiled by various brands and publications. In April 2015, the American magazine FHM named actress Michelle Keegan the sexiest woman in the world. In the same month, People magazine recognized actress Sandra Bullock as the most beautiful woman in the world.

Every woman dreams of slender and beautiful legs. Why? Of course, to wear short skirts and seduce men. So that they can immediately organize a wedding or the most mind-blowing shopping experience for them. True, even the most sophisticated connoisseurs of female beauty cannot determine clear parameters for the slimness and beauty of female legs.

All attempts to conduct surveys among men have shown that the strong half of humanity puts the length of their legs in first place. But are long legs always beautiful? What if they are crooked or fat or too thin? Perhaps, for slender legs, one length will not be enough; their proportionality and shape are more important.

Let's look at some national features of the legs. African women have longer legs, longer thighs that taper at the top, small knees, long calves and slender ankles. Beauties living on the Mediterranean coast have shorter legs, small feet and pronounced muscles. Women of the East have short legs and ankles are not so graceful.

It turns out that the length of the legs affects the character of a woman. As pundits have established, a woman with long legs is romantic and dreamy, it is difficult for her to cope with routine, but she has strict principles. A woman with short legs easily solves current affairs, but her mood also changes easily, and it is not difficult to convince her.

The length is long, but the gait plays an important role. It turns out that ladies who find it difficult to establish contact with other people go inside with their socks. Only people in love have a “flying” gait. Dr. Garre argued that if a man wants to find his soul mate, he should pay attention to how the heels of his beloved’s shoes are worn out. The ideal wife and mother tramples the heel evenly. If the heel is worn inward, then a man has a long way to go to establish contact and discover the deep inner world of his companion, but if a man is looking for a strong, proactive woman, he should look for heels with a worn outer edge.

The numerical coefficient of the length of ideal female legs is 1.4 of the length of the torso. The closer your proportions are to this coefficient, the better, of course. Tall women are more likely to have long legs (meaning the relative length of the legs to their overall height). But there is also such a disadvantage - short legs with tall stature. This looks bad. Short legs in short women are less noticeable and spoil the impression. But, in fact, length is not the most important criterion for assessing legs...

...Nothing is more important than form! We know exactly what ideally shaped legs should look like. Take a pose: legs fully straightened, heels together, toes apart. Four gaps are formed between the perfectly straight legs: the crotch, above the knees, below the knees, above the ankles. This picture shows type A legs, perfectly straight:

It should be noted that this form is only possible if there is some fat layer. For women who are too thin, it is unrealistic. But even if the legs are too full, the gaps are not visible (especially the upper two), which is also not considered beautiful.

“b” - O-shaped curvature (non-closing knees)
“c” - X-shaped curvature (non-closure of the ankles)
“g” - false curvature (non-closure of the soft tissues of the upper third of the leg)

The closer the shape of your legs is to the ideal, the better.

The hair on the skin of the legs is often more pronounced than on the body as a whole. This is especially true for the shins. If the hair is visible to the naked eye, it should be removed.

The ankles are ideally graceful. Thin, but not skinny, look beautiful. Thick ones weigh down the entire leg.

A beautiful instep (the place where the foot meets the shin) is also important. When this transition in the front part is inclined and smooth, they speak of a high rise. Visually, a high rise is better than a low rise.

Don't ignore your feet. The smaller they are, the better. But long legs with small feet are very rare. Foot size usually depends on height. It is greater in tall women than in short women. Long feet spoil the impression when looking at a girl in profile. Regarding the width of the foot, the narrower the better. The shape is preferably pointed towards the index finger. Rectangular feet look ugly.

There is also such a defect as flat feet. It negatively affects gait. The test for flat feet is easy to perform. All you need to do is get your own footprint. Feel the difference:

Toes are assessed according to the usual “toe” canons - the longer and thinner, the better. Their straightness and correct shape are also appreciated.

Toenails require special attention and care. Only a high-quality pedicure allows them to look neat. Improper trimming can lead to ingrown toenails, which is not pretty.

It’s not for nothing that stories are written about women’s legs - They have the same character as housewives:

There is no reason for a quarrel between girlfriends,

But if they separate, it’s only because of a man!..

The question is as simple as three kopecks and at the same time it is complex:

How long should the skirt be? After all, this is her whole reason!

A hundred years ago they wore skirts longer than to the heels,

And no one was indignant at such a bizarre outfit...

At that time, if the gentlemen see the ankles of the ladies,

They were obliged to marry, otherwise they would face general disgrace...

But life did not stand still, and progress moved along with it

And the length of the skirt changed from below the heels to the sky!

When midi was born, the men were shocked!

But still the gentlemen asked to cut off at least another inch!

And now we see our knees... What a beauty it is!

And the men looked at them, afraid to blink, with all their eyes...

But can you stop women? The world already wears miniskirts!

How hard it is for men to look at this feast of women’s legs!

When under the mini, the legs are a miracle, you can’t take your eyes off them...

And here you don’t want to drink or eat, but you want to possess them...

Kozma Prutkov taught: “Look at the root!” We men agree with him...

And we dream about the roots of our feet and want to look at them...

And women are great here too! They will do anything for men...

They came up with thong clothes - there is only one seam from the skirt...

Now any man can see where the ladies’ legs grow from...

For example, they do this on the beaches... It’s a pity, at work they don’t...

Why does fashion “squeak” so strangely and call to the primitive order?

Well, the ladies will remove the seam from the skirt... How can they seduce the groom with it?

It seems that there are only places left that God has given for sin...

The question is as simple as three kopecks and the trend is clear to everyone...

How long can you make a skirt without losing your face?
