Each era had its own idea of beauty. For example, in antiquity, women with round shapes, fair skin, wide hips and waists were compared to Greek goddesses. In the Middle Ages, the ideal of beauty was expressed in small breasts, thin lips, thin arms and legs. As for our days, social networks have played a major role in shaping the image of the ideal.
Large breasts, plump lips, a narrow waist and wide hips with voluminous buttocks are the image that is broadcast as an ideal by bloggers and stars. In this case, you need to have a small amount of fat, be fit and elastic. In response to this, body positivity emerged, which encourages people to accept their body in any form.

Tells why “ears” appear on the thighs and how to get rid of them.
Mail.Ru conducted a survey that showed that 70% of Russian women are dissatisfied with their body and its individual parts. Women want to make their figure more attractive and do not want to put up with excess weight.
Sometimes modern beauty standards set an unrealistic standard, are misleading, deceptive and contrary to human nature. Stars and models hide information about plastic surgery and injections. However, there are things you can change to look more attractive and be healthier.
Lumps on the thighs bother many women
The deposition of adipose tissue on the hips is inherent in the fair sex by nature. This occurs even in those who are not overweight, because it is a natural part of physiology. For example, in men, fat is most often deposited in the abdominal area. The deposition of fat reserves in the hip area is facilitated by the production of the hormone estrogen.
The fat layer is necessary for the normal functioning of the body, but it is important to determine the ratio of fat and muscle tissue. The normal fat content in a woman’s body is 17-22%.
However, if you are determined to reduce body fat and remove the “breeches,” you will have to work on it.

Why do “ears” appear on the thighs?
Small formations of fat under the skin, if not dealt with, can grow over time, becoming similar to “breeches.” There are several reasons for this:
- Excess body weight. In some women, excess fat is distributed evenly throughout the body, while in others it forms into prominent ears on the hips, buttocks, and abdomen.
- Sedentary lifestyle. The almost complete absence of any activity involving the muscles of the outer thigh leads to the fact that the subcutaneous fat in this area is not exposed to any effect.
- Heredity. Some even slender girls, due to genetic predisposition, may develop rounded protrusions on the sides of their thighs.
It is possible to get rid of unwanted fatty formations under the skin, called “butt ears,” but only with an integrated approach that includes the following important points:
- Changing eating habits. The diet must consist exclusively of useful and healthy foods, and the total daily caloric intake is reduced.
- You need to move more. You can't sit in one place. You need to jump, run, walk, and do energetic dancing.
- Make exercise a part of your life. You need to perform not just the first complex you come across, but a special one aimed at working out the problem area. Active influence on this area gives the body a clear indication that it is not suitable for building up fat folds.
- Massages and wraps. These procedures allow you to target the outer thighs and “stir up” the subcutaneous fat, which gives an impetus to its use, that is, to be involved in the process of breakdown.
Using the entire arsenal allows you to overcome even those ears that were inherited and make the hip line ideal.
It is impossible to get rid of fat locally
Adhere to two principles:
- Create a calorie deficit. Reduce your food intake by 50-100 calories each week. The fat will go away, the “ears” will decrease in size or disappear.
- Add 2-3 strength training sessions per week to get in shape. Combine strength and cardio training. Set a goal not only to lose weight, but also to gain muscle.

Exercises for “ears” on the hips
Regular training, which includes exercises with movements aimed at working the outer part of the legs, ensures a smooth and perfectly aligned thigh line. Physical activity plays an important role in the breakdown of fat deposits, which are converted into energy necessary for exercise. Simultaneously with getting rid of the formations, the muscles are strengthened and the hips acquire a beautiful shape.
It is recommended to exercise at least twice or thrice a week. It is best to train in the daytime between 11.00 and 14.00 or in the evening between 18.00 and 20.00. Exercises are required no earlier than two hours after eating and no later than 120 minutes before going to bed. Training at home begins with a preparatory warm-up and ends with a stretching warm-up.

Happy shopping
Stylists provide a specific list of items that are part of a fashionable look that can hide the ears on the hips. Perhaps this guide will inspire you to shop in style and fill your wardrobe with fashionable and winning items.
Dress shirt
With prominent hips, many stylists insist that a shirt dress with a fairly loose cut and midi length should be a mandatory component of the wardrobe. If you don’t like the oversized style, you can choose models that have a belt or sash at the waist. The texture of such clothing plays an important role - light, flowing textures that fit smoothly along the silhouette without creases or folds deserve attention.
Pleated skirt
Fashion for the 2021 season is still partial to pleated skirts. Models like these are a real lifesaver for women with problem hips. Firstly, it is worth appreciating the excellent slimming function of such a model - it is achieved through numerous vertical lines that will visually elongate the silhouette.
A high rise combined with a loose fit also does its job - it disguises the ears. The main thing is that they are not hampered by the shiny texture, which visually only adds volume.
Jeans
Well-chosen jeans will help you professionally hide the ears on your hips. A win-win move is a combination of thick denim, a high rise and a smooth transition of a straight cut to the hips. Large pockets and faded elements in the problem area are an absolute taboo. But the matte, homogeneous texture will delight you with an excellent tightening effect. If you add to the listed attributes of ideal jeans the proximity to shoes with heels, you can achieve a real sensation - your legs will look visually longer and slimmer.

High-rise trousers
The most flattering trouser models for this type of figure have several important characteristics - a high waist, a loose fit in the hips, a narrowing at the bottom and the presence of tucks. You can confidently stick to the carrota style - it will soften the female silhouette, visually hide volumes, and the obligatory belt emphasizes the waist and shifts the accents.
At the same time, stylists note that such a model should be made in a fairly dense texture - it is this that has optimal camouflage properties.
Loose trousers
In general, almost any high-waisted trousers can hide the ears on the hips. If you like to take into account the leading trends, you can take a closer look at the current loose cut. This style can work real miracles on a woman’s figure. But for the desired effect, it should be combined correctly - that is, choose shoes with a high instep. This will make your legs look longer and your overall figure slimmer.
Skirts
To reliably hide your riding breeches from prying eyes, you should pay special attention to successful styles of skirts. The optimal guideline is a length just above the knee and a flared cut at the bottom. So, the classic trapezoid style, as well as the sun and half-sun are considered an excellent choice. A stylish feature of such a skirt can be a vertical row of buttons, which has a slimming effect.
Often, a pencil skirt becomes a panacea for problem areas. But serious requirements must be put forward to it - this is the density of the texture and the presence of a slimming insert (for example, vertical stitching). In the 2021 season, denim models with lines in the desired direction deserve special attention.
High waisted dresses
Among the current dresses for plus-size figures, models with high waistlines and flared hems are presented in a wide variety. Depending on the color and decor, this style can be a wonderful choice of outfit for any occasion. We are sure that you can easily choose such a dress for work, everyday life, dates and special events.
Emphasis on virtues
This technique is as old as time, but it still works effectively. The point is simple: in order to divert attention from the shortcomings of the figure, you need to shift the emphasis to the advantages. For example, full hips are not a problem at all if you can boast of a slender waist, graceful collarbones, beautiful legs or fragile hands. Stylish clothes and accessories will become your indispensable helpers when you need to show off your strengths.
Overalls
A high-waist jumpsuit can also take its rightful place in the wardrobe. According to the recommendations of stylists, the most successful model will have a light top and dark bottom - this simple technique perfectly diverts attention from flaws.

Bermuda
If in the cold season girls with ears on their hips prefer loose, high trousers with creases, then in the summer they can adopt the Bermuda model. This new product promises to break all records for popularity in the 2021 season, because it fits into any outfit with amazing ease - from the office to the beach.
Adding positive factors
Tip #2:
you need not just to remove the “ears”, but to be able to keep your legs slim and toned for a long time.
To do this try:
- Build a useful work and rest regime.
- Add dancing to your life.
- Eat at the same time 3-4 times a day.
- Eat more vegetables and green fruits.
- Drink 2-3 liters of clean water.
- Replace simple carbohydrates with complex ones.
- Eat enough protein foods.
- Walk 5-10 thousand steps daily.
- Sleep 8 hours a day.
- Exercise regularly.
- Keep a food diary.
- Massage to improve blood circulation in the legs.
Causes of ears
They appear for several reasons.
1.
Formation of the female body in the process of maturation. During this period, as we know, girls increase the production of a bunch of hormones, which lead to the accumulation of subcutaneous fat in these places (in others, too, by the way). For certain reasons, the process can be delayed up to 22 years.
2.
Disturbances in the functioning of the lumbosacral spine, which leads to disruptions in the metabolism, due to which accumulation in the riding breeches occurs more intensely.
3.
Hormonal drugs.
4.
Genetic feature (maybe relatives had something similar).
5.
A sedentary lifestyle combined with an unbalanced diet (sedentary work and constantly exceeding your daily calorie intake).
6.
Violation of lymph outflow and blood circulation in the pelvic area (sedentary work, for example). But this point rather follows from the previous one.
7.
Various health disorders (insufficient functioning of the thyroid gland, malfunction of the adrenal glands and pancreas).
8.
Menopause.
9.
Weakness of the gluteal muscles, due to which they sag and change the shape of the entire butt, as well as the presence of a large amount of fat (but this point is a partial and easily solvable problem).
Alas, if you have problems with hormones, this material will only partially help you.
