Signs of the aristocratic appearance of women and men.

Believe it or not, men also believe in magic, and they have cherished fabulous dreams from childhood. Each of them, as a child, dreamed of becoming a king and proudly, sovereignly, to rule the power entrusted to him.

With age, fairy tales become a thing of the past, there are not enough kingdoms for everyone, but the dream of a real queen remains for life. Note that almost none of the men have ever seen the real queen with their own eyes, except on TV or old portraits. However, this does not prevent them from having a completely clear idea of ​​the signs of the royal "breed" by which they will unmistakably identify the woman of their dreams. So what are these signs?

Royal posture

This is an unmistakable sign of the royal "breed" - an even back, shoulders drooping, chin slightly raised. It is impossible to imagine a casual man next to such a woman, since only a proud and confident man will look worthy.

Gait

The real royal "pedigree" of a woman is manifested in her manner of carrying herself - majestically, slowly, without squirting legs or wagging her hips. It seems that even among people running in the subway, she floats in the crowd, attracting admiring glances to herself.

Movement

The Queen will never allow herself to fidgetily wave her arms during a conversation, vigorously gesticulate, cross her legs and fidget in the seat, trying to straighten her skirt. She knows how to emphasize with her movements not community, but the difference between a man and a woman, behaving tenderly, lightly and delicately. She just entered, sat down in one calm movement, freely put her legs (knees together, legs one slightly in front of the other or slightly crossed) gracefully folded her hands on her knees ... And everyone realized that in front of them was Her Majesty.

Manners

The “breed” of a true queen is manifested not only in a thorough knowledge of cutlery and the ability to use a fish knife, but also in understanding all the intricacies of behavior at the table and in society - how to receive guests, what to say to whom, when to smile and when to show equanimity.

Speech

It is impossible to imagine a true woman of the royal "breed" speaking in a thin, screeching voice, interrupting the interlocutor and using in speech slang words... She attracts attention to herself with a low, well-set voice, correct literary speech and the ability to listen carefully to the interlocutor.

clothing

With all the freedom of morals modern world it is difficult to imagine a person of the royal "breed" dressed in unisex style. No amount of trendy sneakers and chic trousers can replace a graceful dress and heeled shoes that will emphasize your femininity and beauty, arousing the admiration of men.

Appearance

A person of the royal "breed" should not have an ultra-short haircut, tanned skin and flashy makeup. A woman worthy of a king should have hair that falls over her shoulders, delicate skin and discreet makeup that emphasizes her dignity, like Marie Antoinette, for example.

Elegance

The appearance and clothing of the person of the royal "breed" always corresponds to the circumstances - place, environment and time. She always and everywhere has a well-groomed and tidy appearance, monitors the cleanliness of her body and her clothes, does not neglect any of her details, visible or invisible.

Education

A woman worthy of a king is aware of all the news and will easily support a conversation on any topic, and in the language of her interlocutor, tactfully explaining to other participants in the conversation the essence of her dialogue with a foreigner, if they do not understand what it is about. Such a person is able to listen with sincere interest to the nonsense of an amateur about a problem in which she is a professional and has a perfect command of the issue. As you know, men prefer educated women.

Stylishness

The "breed" of a woman is manifested in the possession of a special taste for life, the ability to surround herself with graceful things and interesting people, the ability to emit special charm, choose outfits for yourself and attract the attention of others, be yourself and not lose dignity under any circumstances, like Princess Di.

To the credit of our men, who dream of meeting the real queen of their lives, one important circumstance should be mentioned. If a man is truly in love, he sees in his chosen one unconditionally all the signs of a royal "breed", is ready to elevate her to the highest throne in his heart and with admiration puts the kingdom of his home and the whole world at her feet.

It's not so easy to be a real queen, causing everyone's admiration! Nevertheless, anyone can look like a sophisticated and refined aristocrat with impeccable manners. Here's how to do it.

Here are 10 signs that will make you special blue bloods.

1. Straight back

Correct posture has long been one of the distinctive features aristocrats. Have you ever seen the Queen of England slouched over? A bent back is strongly associated with a begging person, and only causes pity. Is this effect you are trying to achieve?

A straight back is a sign of real queens!

2. Well-groomed hands

An aristocrat always has well-groomed hands and feet. No "peeling" varnish, broken nails, rough heels and other horrors inherent only to peasant women. Do not spare time and money for good master on manicure.

Well-groomed hands - 50% of your success!

3. A minimum of cosmetics on the face

Look at royal family... You will not see bright and catchy makeup on any of them - this is considered bad manners.

Of course, aristocrats also paint, but in moderation!

4. Competent and polite speech

True queens never scream or scream like victims. If necessary, they just need to add a little demanding notes to the voice and explain in a calm, confident tone what she wants. And no "obscenity"! It is inappropriate for blue-blooded individuals to descend to the level of cobblers.

Always be aware of what and how you say it.

5. Restrained behavior

Have you ever seen a royalty rush headlong to an important meeting? Well, I do not! It has long been known that strongest of the world this is not late - they are late. Their gait is unhurried and their steps are small.

Queens are never in a hurry.

6. Punctuality

Nevertheless, "Accuracy - the politeness of kings!". Despite the lack of haste, true aristocrats are never late and always arrive on time.

Punctuality is another distinctive feature especially blue bloods.

7. Proper nutrition

Royal food should be simple and healthy. No self-respecting aristocrat will eat fast food and other junk food. This is not comme il faut! The food of the aristocrat should be varied and freshly prepared. No yesterday's dinners! If you can't afford a personal chef, learn how to cook great yourself.

You can even be a queen in the kitchen!

8. Modesty

True aristocrats do not need to draw attention to themselves at any cost. Don't try to surprise everyone. You're not in the circus!

Persons royal blood from childhood they know that "I" - last letter in the alphabet.

9. Education

It's no secret that all royalty receive an excellent education. It is unlikely that you can boast of the same, sitting for hours on social networks. Isn't it better to devote this time interesting book that has been gathering dust on the shelf for a long time?

Aristocrats love to study and learn something new!

10. Striving for self-improvement

Of course, ideal people does not exist, but the royalty are deeply convinced that everything is in their own hands... Every day they do their best to get even better.

As you present yourself, the others will perceive you!

Following this simple rules behavior, you will quickly learn to behave like a true aristocrat. And there, perhaps, the prince on a white horse is just a stone's throw away!

Ru-royalty conducted such an interesting experiment: http://ru-royalty.livejournal.com/4311223.html

The photos have been specially modified so as not to google them.

In general, it turned out to be difficult with "guessing games". People recognized the noblewoman in only one of the ladies represented.

And you ask yourself - is there even such a thing as "aristocratic appearance"? Does a nobleman have any special external features by which he can be immediately identified in a crowd?

From the literature we see that noblemen and noblewomen, as well as those who are considered as such, have the following specific characteristics:
- general thinness and slenderness, which is especially pronounced in women (those still have small breasts or hips, a "model" figure)
- height above average
- thin long fingers(by all means)
- long legs
- small size feet and small palms
- pallor
- narrow or oval face
- small mouth, narrow lips
- large round eyes (or, alternatively, almond-shaped)
- contrasting, bright appearance (if a brunette, then light skin is "attached", a blonde is also not blond and eyeless, namely that "golden" hair and eyebrows with eyelashes are darker than the hair on the head; redheads are in the minority, although in life there are a lot of them among nobles meets)
- a long narrow nose, often with a hump / "aquiline", often quite noticeable on the face (especially in men)
- in general, "aristocratic beauty" meant at first the similarity with the busts of patricians and emperors antique era, then some conditionally "Nordic" appearance, now - a similarity with the elves in the description of Tolkien.

Perhaps, from the entire list, pallor and thin fingers with a small palm are justified, as well as a fragile figure - as an indicator that a person does not engage in physical labor, but now, when fewer people are engaged in physical labor in the Western world, it becomes incomprehensible. Pallor, by the way, in the 20th century disappeared from the definition of "aristocracy", since it began to show precisely that ill health and being chained to a machine in a factory throughout the day, while a rich man / nobleman could "hang on a yacht for two weeks" without any reproach of conscience and get a nice bronze tan. Or the same "weakness" - for women, maybe yes, but aristocrats sometimes served in the army, and there the suffocated person would quickly stretch his legs, that is, the noble men had some muscles ( perhaps not the ones that are now building up in the gym, but in order to fight hand-to-hand, carry ammunition, swing a saber or sword, overcome a bunch of miles on horseback or on foot). And in the same 20th century - and now - muscle building has also become an indicator of the upper class - there is money and time for the gym and playing sports.

Signs of "aristocracy" and the ideal of beauty very rarely converge at some decisive points. For example, a pale, fragile aristocrat in the 19th century is good to marry and please relatives, but they will admire a puffy commoner who plays Phaedro on the stage (for example). See Metternich, who married a fragile little elf, and slept with everyone in a row (but his appearance, apparently, was not particularly important, interesting and novelty are more important, because among his mistresses there are ladies of absolutely all types of appearance and characters: brunettes , blondes, brown-haired women, redheads, plump, thin, medium, undersized, tall, smart, fools, bitches, docile doves, etc.).

In addition, the signs of aristocracy that I have listed are all for white Caucasians. Eastern Asian peoples they will be somewhat different (however, their pallor is not even a sign of aristocracy, it is a sign of beauty). I suspect that African, Creole and other peoples also consider aristocratic something of their own, different from ours (they have their own nobles and nobles, too). And it doesn't necessarily mean blood. Let's take, let's say ruling dynasty The Netherlands. We see rather "round", plump people, snub-nosed, cheeky. No "elfism", but, by the way, in the veins former queen Beatrix and her son, King Willem-Alexander, flow almost not diluted by the "common people" injections of the blood of German, British and Russian aristocratic and ruling houses.

My GG falls under the stereotype of an "aristocrat-true Aryan", like all his relatives - it just so happened, but this is more a feature of his nationality than a feature of his origin (and then, one of the portraits of his mother can serve as an "anti-example" of the thesis about the fact that the origin is visible on the face; although, I suspect that it is hardly her portrait, because in order to differ so much in appearance from your own children, it is necessary that the children were "really" non-native, but there is not the same case - either, if "that", then some Mexican TV series or Bollywood movie will turn out). In this sense, a lot of people are rushing around me on bicycles now, at him (or his wife (I know such a "darling" here in huge amount) and other relatives) who look one way or another - whatever you want, Northern Europe, "Varangians", but we have a country in which the nobles have always been very tight. But here, for example, the late Alan Rickman (eternal Snape / Snape), who had the same type of appearance as Christoph von Lieven (I remember which of the "uninitiated" I showed the portrait of GG, everyone exclaimed - "Yes, it's Snape!"), was from the British proletariat, the lords did not spend the night there. Another eloquent example is Tikhonov, who was put to play either the Aryan "obermensch" and the pure-blooded Prussian aristocrat Otto von Stirlitz, or the prince from Rurikovich. Also from the "very simple". There are a lot of those who can be considered people of "aristocratic appearance", among Jews (especially Ashkenazim) and Arabs.

So, apparently, aristocracy should be observed in action - how a person behaves, what manners he has, the way to behave, to speak. And in such situations, the genealogy often becomes unimportant - if a person has been taught certain manners, it can be seen; if special values ​​are shared in his family - and their formulation is still waiting in the wings - then it becomes unimportant how noble ancestors are listed in the genealogy.

But the stereotype "the aristocrat has a certain appearance" is tenacious. When I was in the States, I had one companion and girlfriend. Very kind, cool man, is now married to a Serb living in the United States. Beautiful girl, yes - I copied Erica von Levenstern's appearance from her (and partly the character, however, the "original" has everything much better in life). Slender, pretty the right face, dark brown-haired woman with gray eyes, the same "thin bone" and height above 175 cm. But there are many of them. Then she said that in her ancestors she had very small local nobles of the Tambov province, moreover, they became nobles at the end of the 19th century (one of the ancestors served as a hereditary one). Well, of the very simple nobles, such in that province there were ten pieces of bundle, they were not even particularly caught by the Bolsheviks - for "oppressors working people"they didn’t pull, the surnames didn’t say anything at all. And I catch myself thinking that I’m thinking" I understand, the breed is there, "and our other friend even voiced this aloud to her boyfriend there:" S.is of a noble origin so she is so beautiful and refined. "

We often hear the expression “typical Slavic appearance". But what is the typical Slavic appearance? After all, the Slavs are a huge and numerous group of nationalities, and each has its own characteristic features.

People of Slavic appearance come in very different shapes. It mainly depends on what peoples their ancestors mixed with during the next resettlement of peoples, of which the Slavs, starting from the Neolithic era, had a lot. Many anthropologists and ethnographers have adopted a map of the types of Slavs, according to which the features of Slavic appearance change significantly from north to south. These types of Slavic appearance are distinguished.

White Sea-Baltic group. It includes Poles, Belarusians, the population of the north of Russia. The signs of this group are similar to the signs Scandinavian type of appearance: light skin, light hair, graceful regular features. Differences from the Scandinavian-Nordic type are also obvious: a little more broad face, a slightly less protruding and slightly less clearly defined nose, as well as an upper eyelid that swells with age - hello from Mongoloid race , mixing with which took place in the Neolithic era.

East Slavic group- the most famous. It is her differences that are perceived by most of us as features of a typical Slavic appearance. Hair of the Slavs oriental type, as a rule, light brown, eyes - gray or blue. The face is soft, sometimes wide, rounded. Often found rounded cheeks.

Dnieper-Carpathian group. Its prominent representatives are Ukrainians. The hair of this type of Slavs is usually dark, the face is wide enough. Many people find that the description of the Slavs of the Dnieper-Carpathian group is similar to the description of the peoples of the Alpine type - the northern Italians or the Swiss.

Pontic group. Its name comes from ancient greek name Of the Black Sea - Ponta Euxinsky, and mainly the inhabitants of Bulgaria belong to it. This type is characterized by more than Eastern Slavs, narrow face and high level pigmentation: the hair and eyes of the Pontians are usually dark.

Of course, this is not all. Serbs, Croats, Montenegrins, Poles, Czechs and Slovaks are also Slavs. In general, the Slavs are the largest group European nations, so, naturally, their appearance has quite a variety of variations.

With such a variety of types, what does "a girl of Slavic appearance" mean? As we have already said, speaking about the Slavic type of appearance, they usually mean the appearance of the East Slavic or close to it.

“Let's think, what message does the typical Slavic appearance of a woman convey to the world? Most likely, looking at the classic Slavic beauty, you will think about warmth, home comfort, delicious pies and a cat curled up on the stove.

However, not every woman wants to carry such a message into the world. Many people want to have the aristocratic and "thoroughbred" beauty of Slavs - the beauty of high cheekbones and narrow faces, which is in demand on all stages and catwalks of the planet.

Business puts forward others - its own requirements. An appearance that evokes associations with others with something warm and homely is also unlikely to greatly contribute to a career. What to do in this case?

In this case, the harmonization of appearance plays the role of a magic wand. An experienced surgeon who is familiar with anatomy and with a good aesthetic sense can change your Slavic features so subtly that your face will become more proportional and ultimately attractive.

Yes, it really is possible: a little clearer cheekbones, a slightly more strict (or feminine - depending on the image we want to create) chin - and the face is perceived completely differently! "

Harmonizing procedures allow you to stretch the oval of the face, add the missing volume to the zygomatic zone, make the chin-neck area expressive, visually stretch the neck and narrow the face.

The chin shape is carefully matched to the desired look. For example, a wide chin, like that of Angelina Jolie, will form a female androgynous type of face - determined and purposeful. A narrow and pointed chin is perfect for creating a fragile, romantic and mysterious look.

Cheekbone correction is also performed in several directions. Some implants increase the lateral areas of the zygomatic arch and expand the face in the middle zone, giving it beautiful shape hearts. This procedure is ideal for people with too long facial features and for those with “flat” cheekbones.

Other implants enlarge the central part of the cheek-zygomatic region - add volume to the area under the eyes. This treatment is ideal for creating volume on an overly skinny face with weak cheekbones. The same manipulation removes pronounced nasolacrimal grooves and bruises under the eyes: Yes, you will forget about concealer forever.

“I in no way want to say that round cheeks are bad, and everyone as one should dream of high, sunken cheekbones and perfect line chin.

I just want to say that if you suffer from the shape of your face and find it ugly, this is fixable. There are techniques that allow you to adjust the proportions and features, to make the image more attractive. "

Of course, the same can be said for the representatives of the strong half of humanity. Many people perceive the Slavic type of appearance of men as chubby, snub-nosed, with a rather flat face, with a flaccid and weakly expressed chin, genetically predisposed to age-related flabbiness. Perhaps they did a bad job here folk tales, in which if Ivan is most often a fool, and if Emelya is on the stove.

Facial features that are perceived as a symbol of responsibility and masculinity - strong-willed chin, distinct angles of the lower jaw, well-developed zygomatic bones - in Slavic type poorly expressed.

Hello everyone! An aristocratic appearance is the cause of controversy for many people, or rather, for sociologists. Until now, sometimes you have to prove your belonging to some noble family, despite the fact that all the signs are there. And today we will try to figure out, and by what characteristics can we determine whether you are a descendant of some famous noblemen, or not?

What is this definition?

Aristocracy is not just appearance, but also a way of thinking, a type of behavior. No matter how sophisticated a girl is, if she behaves vulgarly and attracts too much attention not by her beauty, but by the manners of a market trader, no one will admit the thought that “blue blood” is flowing in her veins.

Olga Muravyova wrote an excellent book "How a Russian Nobleman was Brought Up". It sets out the basic principles and norms that the nobles were obliged to follow, respectively.

So, the story about one descendant of a noble family is very revealing in it. Having visited the camp of the geological expedition, he was surprised at the uncleanliness of the people who lived there. But instead of walking around and grimacing in disgust, he set about cleaning the toilet on his own, showing the others that they should not be afraid of dirty work. It is much worse to live in such conditions and not change them.

This is the essence of aristocracy. It does not matter what state a person has, and even being broke, it is necessary to remain a person, preserving dignity and honor.

Appearance

I would like to emphasize that appearance is not always noble. Often, representatives of the nobility look quite ordinary. And this is in best case... Do you know why? Therefore, to preserve "pure blood", or, as it is also called "blue", marriages were made between relatives. The result of which were children with limited abilities and deformities.

So the characteristics of the appearance, its main features, in an ideal form, are as follows:

• Hair. They can be of absolutely any color, which is especially pleasing to women who periodically want to bring changes to their image and color them. The only thing is that they must be well-groomed, healthy and shiny. Preferably they are beautifully styled, as loose strands can get tangled, and this does not look aesthetically pleasing.
• The eyelashes and eyebrows are dark, even for blondes. And even better if black.
• Forehead straight, high.
• The nose is flat and small. A slight hump is allowed.
• The chin is narrow, in some cases sharp.
• The eyes are large or at least medium in size. Color, as in the case of hair, does not play a special role.
• The shape of the face is oblong.
• The figure is graceful, evoking associations with a crystal vase. Even if there is excess weight, she still seems sophisticated. No gross or irregular proportions.
• The nail bed is neat, almond-shaped.
• The skin is light, translucent or slightly pinkish. No tanning. The absence of acne and inflammation is also noted. She is always clean, velvet, inducing desire touch.
• The foot size is not large. Even men have tiny, neat feet.

Basic behavioral characteristics

Posture

Such a person will always keep his back straight. And under no circumstances will he allow himself to slouch. Even if you have to work as a cleaner, she will perform her task with a posture that the queen herself would envy.

Smoothness of movement

No sudden movements, rude gestures, active facial expressions and loud laughter. An aristocrat knows how to present himself in order to arouse admiration and respect.

Accuracy

Clothing is an auxiliary means of forming an image, by no means a key one. Let it be not very expensive, but clean, elegant, emphasizing the style. The emphasis should be on the personality, the mind, not the exposed parts of the body.

Shoes for aristocrats are mostly classic. There are always accessories, ties, cufflinks, watches, scarves and jewelry. Only in moderation, thoughtfully.

Speech

Like everyone else, he has negative feelings. But he will never allow swearing. And even if they provoke a conflict, such a person will remain calm, so as not to "fall face down in the mud" and not say too much.

He does not raise his tone, does not use barbs, and avoids idle talk and gossip. Strength of mind and good breeding allow one to defend oneself and one's dignity without aggression and violence.

One can only envy, and all thanks to erudition and the desire for self-development.

Respect

Equally treats as representatives the highest nobility, and to a simple worker. He does not focus only on his own person, but knows how to notice others and pay attention to them. Therefore, it is always pleasant to communicate with him and I want to meet as often as possible.

Self-esteem

He appreciates himself and loves himself. He has a sense of his own dignity, thanks to which he will not allow anyone to treat himself badly, as he himself will never offend the weak and needy. Raising self-esteem at the expense of others is not at all his style. If only because this is not necessary, it is quite healthy, not overstated or underestimated.

Personal space

Doesn't cause inconvenience by violating personal boundaries. Starting from the fact that he will not be familiar and go to "you" without agreeing with the interlocutor in advance. And ending with the observance of the distance.

Circle of friends

They prefer quality over quantity. Surround themselves well-mannered, purposeful and comprehensive developed people... They also tend to create useful connections that may well come in handy in the future.

Self improvement

Strive for both the physical and the moral, spiritual development... Don't allow yourself or just stand still.

Bastards

Bastards are illegitimate children. History counts many cases when children were born from noble people in power on the side, outside of marriage, consecrated by the church. Some of them were recognized, received the throne, inheritance, the right to command the country, troops.

For example, the English king William I the Conqueror, the only, but illegitimate son of Robert the Devil. Or the English Queen Elizabeth I, whose father was Henry VIII. But most were not so lucky, they were persecuted even in their own circles.

In addition to the unexpectedly flared up passion or love for ordinary peasants, the cause of the appearance of bastards is, so to speak, a change in genetics.

Excessive pallor, although it was considered a sign of aristocracy, in fact, most often was the cause of some kind of disease, general weakness. Wishing to strengthen the health of future descendants, noble people entered into relationships with people of lower descent. Which were distinguished by their strength of the body, hard work, activity and endurance.

Completion

In addition to developing the necessary skills for decent social behavior, pass on the knowledge to your children, if you have them. Self-esteem, sociability and good manners will be appreciated at all times and will never lose their relevance. Teach them, and maybe yourself, to manage finances competently and resolve conflicts peacefully.

Good luck and achievements!
