Everyone has heard of aristocratic appearance. Many can even say with certainty whether one or another person is present. But few people are capable of giving this concept an accurate definition. Not surprisingly, because even modern sociologists until very recently could not do this. However, after several years of research, a more or less accurate definition of the concept of "aristocratic appearance" was nevertheless highlighted. Of course, there are still disagreements and inaccuracies in it, but this is only a matter of time. And now all those interested can satisfy their curiosity and find out what kind of aristocrat she is?
Myths about the nobles
It should immediately be noted that not all people of noble origin possess a noble appearance. On the contrary, often the most great and “noble” representatives of the human race often have the most ordinary appearance, often even with some deformities. The reason for this is the concern for the so-called "purity of blood", because of which a couple could choose the bride or groom for reasons not of health and especially appearance, but of fame. At times, family marriages were also concluded, which, of course, negatively affected the children born in them.
Aristocratic appearance: signs
At present, nobility and sophistication can be found in a variety of people. The main signs of aristocratic appearance are as follows:
-
long face with a high, straight forehead, thin nose - perfectly even or with a slight hump;
- rather large eyes, a thin line of eyebrows, a narrow chin;
- hair of any color, but always healthy, well-groomed, shiny, eyelashes and eyebrows are dark, ideally black;
- elegant physique, creating the impression of sophistication even in the case of completeness;
- long arms and legs, hands and feet are miniature, with thin fingers, nails are almond-shaped;
- very light thin skin, pale or with a pinkish tint, always clean and smooth;
- the correct proportions of the face and body.
Behavior
But, of course, the aristocratic appearance is created not only by the above signs, but also by the manner of holding oneself. True nobility gives a person only a direct posture, a proudly raised head, a direct look, grace of movements and politeness.
Lunar Traits
Like any other striving for the best, aristocracy had its drawbacks. So, for quite a long time, “lunar features” were extremely popular - fullness, combined with huge pale eyes, too thin white skin, and a rounded face. But, contrary to the majority opinion, this was not a breakthrough and not the result of carefully calculated marriages, but a genetic defect that arose as a result of sexual relations between close relatives.
Bastards
Surprisingly, some people even in those old days understood that excessive pallor, weakness and obvious inability to physical work are not good, and sought to bring "fresh" blood into their kind, entering into intimate contact with people of "lower" origin. Thus, bastards appeared - illegitimate children of nobles, whose aristocratic appearance baffled many. Well, if a famous parent recognized such descendants, then they qualitatively improved their family.
