What is sexy? Well, it depends when you're asking. The ideals of sex appeal have evolved a lot over the past century. 什么是性感？这要看你是在哪个时代问的。过去一百年间，性感的标准经历了巨大的演变。 In the 1900s, it was a given that women would wear corsets under their dresses. The corsets played up the ideal hourglass figure, creating the impression of an S-shaped body. Stomachs were sucked in, making hips and breasts look bigger by comparison. 20世纪初，女性长裙里面穿紧身胸衣被认为是理所当然。 紧身胸衣塑造了完美的沙漏型身材，呈现出S型曲线。紧身胸衣有收腹效果，相比之下，臀部和胸部显得更丰满。 Things started to shift in the 1910s, as make-up grew in popularity among the Hollywood set. However, wearing make-up was still frowned upon by some, so many women would hide it and apply surreptitiously to play up their features, taking cues from the motion picture industry's trend-setting starlets. 20世纪10年代，化妆在好莱坞逐渐风靡，性感的定义开始有所转变。然而，有些人仍反对化妆，因此很多女性会模仿电影业里引领潮流的年轻女星，偷偷摸摸地化妆以凸显自己的面部特征。 In the 1920s, bold make-up was not only acceptable but desirable. Pale skin was the go-to look, so many women used cosmetics to make their complexion look lighter. |
