Exploring the Evolution of Beauty Standards for Women Throughout History

“Girls are different…”

Every person is unique. Each of us has a set of features of appearance and character, which ultimately create a unique personality. Today, men and women can look and behave as they want, but in past centuries the situation was somewhat different. In any case, for the fair sex. Since ancient times, there have been ideas in society about the ideal female appearance and physique, which have been updated from time to time. In antiquity, ladies with an expressive figure, full lips and pale skin were in fashion (the latter was the most difficult for women of fashion in Ancient Greece to achieve, washing with milk and olive oil came to the rescue). In the Middle Ages, asceticism gave rise to the type of a sickly pale-skinned lady, which in the Baroque era abruptly changed to the exact opposite – lush hips and breasts, a narrow waist, and bright makeup came into fashion. Only in the twentieth century, women began to depend less and less on the imposed canons of beauty. Yes, and fashionable types changed so quickly that there was no way to keep up with them – either anorexic thinness, or parameters 90-60-90.
