The world is changing, and so are people. While men continue to evolve, women, as they say, `keep in shape.` However, trends have shifted recently for women too.
Researchers chose 1957 as the starting point: the results are impressive and shocking. It turns out that over the last 60 years, women`s figures have changed significantly, and these size changes are quite substantial. What happened and why?
Continuation of the article  Photo: ofigenno.com Let`s start with the fact that we`ve grown bigger overall - both women and men. For example, in 1957, the average height for girls was 158 cm, weight - 62 kg, shoe size 35.5, clothing size 46. Let`s see how it is now.

If 60 years ago, most women had size 2 breasts, now it`s rapidly approaching the fifth!

Researchers also emphasized that in 1957, a woman consumed only 1800 calories per day, but now up to 2300 calories. This can mean only one thing - women have started eating more.

We should also remember the popular body positive movement and plus-size models, who no longer have complexes about their curvaceous forms.

The era of thinness is long over, and now curvaceous ladies with nice, rounded forms are in fashion. Liked what you saw? Recommend to friends Next post
