Slavic appearance is a very common concept in our time. It is necessary to separate the language and racial types - these are completely different directions.
Judging by their language, Belarusians are not Slavs, they speak the Slavic-Baltic language, but they have racially many Baltic people, and they are already definitely Slavs. There are also many racial types with golden hair color, and it is this trait that can be observed as uniqueness for cleaner species of possible Slavs.
Who has the appearance of a Slav?
Slavic appearance, description: fair skin, round face, blue, gray or light brown eyes, blond hair, straight, but not prominent nose. The search for racial types of Slavs is quite justified; the Cossacks retained their Nordic attributes due to the tradition that they did not marry foreigners. The Orthodox are also quite well preserved. In general, the word "nationality" already indicates homogeneity, that is, a single biological genus, or community. Slavic appearance is quite different from others.
About types of appearance
Speaking of where there are more Slavs close to the first racial types, these are countries such as: Poland, Ukraine and northern Russia (although there are quite a lot of Finno-Hungarians there, but they are very similar to the Baltic states, according to some scholars who are competent in this question). A characteristic Ukrainian type: gorid - is a product of mixing the Baltic and Nordic types with the Central Asian, due to which black hair appears. But if it comes to the fact that the skin color is a little dark, then these are already signs of the Tatars.
Some interesting facts
From some historical data it is known that the Slavs as such disappeared in the 13th century, during the Batu invasion. Through fairly frequent contacts of the Slavs with the Balts, Greeks, Turks, and such clashes were far from peaceful, these facts radically affected the state of the Slavic appearance as such. Judging by some historical descriptions from the ancient Greeks, the Slavs are really described as tall and fair-haired, and not only fair-haired. Slavs belong to the Indo-European branch and have a Nordic affiliation. Many conclusions can even be drawn from an analysis of the East European Plain, on which the Slavs lived. Compared to the west, the climate there was not very warm. It was closer to Scandinavia. You can also make the assumption that during the winter period there was no such opportunity and desire to work hard, as during the summer, early autumn or spring. Slavic appearance is not similar to other appearances.
Such a feature of the terrain and nature worked wonders, so the Slavs had a very pleasant appearance, characteristic only for them. But, unfortunately, as a result of unwanted contacts with foreigners, the Slavic appearance lost its original unique appearance. As a result of such facts, we have the modern educated Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Poles and others.
In addition to genes, politics is also involved in all of this. But, unfortunately, this issue has been studied very little today, so you should not draw any conclusions on a specific issue, since even professionals, people who know a lot about this business, cannot yet figure it out. A typical Slavic appearance is found in our time, despite many changes for all years.
