What is the explanation for beauty trends?

I'm wondering if there is a psychological or physiological explanation to all beauty trends? I know the reasoning behind some, such as in the past, heavier women were more appealing because it signified wealth. Why, now, is skinny more attractive? Why is body hair considered unattractive on women, and why do women wear certain types of makeup like heavy eyeliner, etc? What are the thoughts behind beauty trends throughout the ages?What is the explanation for beauty trends?
It's all about celebrity. They set many of the trends. Celebrities dress a certain way, and the people who love them do the same. Ta-Da! Trend!What is the explanation for beauty trends?
well, the thin thing came from Kate Moss in the 90s when heroine chique


became popular. That's also where heavy eyeliner came from... Also from indian culture, where people where kajoul (kohl) around their eyes for religious purposes. The western wold adapted because they liked the way it looked. body hair thing came from the 40s during WWII. There was no materials to make nylon stockings, so women stopped wearing stockings and started shaving instead. THey just continued shaving after the war. Red lips came from victorian times. Red lips were considered attractive fro all eternity, but in the 20s, wearing cosmetic became acceptable, and women wore vibrant red lipstick.






I believe It comes from nature. Designers get inspired by the world, space, universe. It all comes from nature. Now body size. People develop different ideas. Like in some countries women with bigger hips are considered to be beautiful because it is easier to carry a baby. Skinny might be beautiful because they can be carried. They are light, and ';feminine'; Have you ever thought of the difference of the beauty between a pornstar and a fashion model? The body of pornstars all vary, but most are with big chests and big bottoms. Most of those women are skinny, and who are the people viewing them? Men. And who are we trying to please? Men. And p0rn has grown so much. So it is hard to be looking like a pornstar, you know what I mean?
People at the front of style and fashion create new things and others, who emulate those people, follow.


For instance: Margaret Keane paints paintings of children, lost, sad, with pets, with giant eyes - and the paintings become sought, well-regarded. Shortly after, a young waif of a girl in london dresses in short child like clothes and accentuates her huge eyes and becomes world famous fashion model Twiggy. Suddenly, all girls are looking like Twiggy... Meanwhile - somewhere else, someone is creating something new that our culture will follow and a new trend begins.
