In the era of Victoria’s Secret Angel, who has the perfect body type, all women wanted to be that way.

3. THE “IDEAL” BODY SHAPE IN THE EARLY 90s – SUPER SKINNY BODY! 

In the early 90s, being extremely skinny was a thing. If you had prominent bone structure, malnourished body appearances, and a skinny body, you would be considered perfect to be on the cover page of a magazine. This body shape was even given the name of “heroin chic”.

4. THE “IDEAL” BODY SHAPE IN THE 1950s – HOURGLASS SHAPE! 

According to the 1950s, the ideal body shape for women was the hourglass shape. The best measurement of this shape was Elizabeth Taylor’s 36-21-36 and after that Marilyn Monroe’s lustrous body. This is the era when barbie and playboy were introduced.

5. THE “IDEAL” BODY SHAPE IN THE 1920s – BOYISH!

In the 1920s, having a boyish figure was a thing. The requirement of this figure was a straight figure with small breasts, no curves. Women hid their curves during this era by wearing striped clothing for the sole purpose of following the fashion.

In the era of 1400-1700 (the Italian Renaissance), the full-body was considered to be a sign of wealth and being well fed. So having a round stomach, big hips, and breasts were a thing back then.

STOP TREATING YOUR BODIES LIKE OBJECTS!

The concerning question nowadays is that “why do we treat our bodies like objects or the way we treat fashion? We should understand the fact that our bodies are very delicate and it is extremely harmful to manufacture them the way we manufacture clothes”!

BE COMFORTABLE IN YOUR SKIN!

Another note to yourself is “treat your body with utmost love and respect and stop trying to change it according to the fashion. The only way to do that is by being comfortable in your skin, by accepting and loving your body, and by ignoring the beauty standards created by people and love what you have”!
