The Physique of Eastern European Women
Due to high levels of the female hormone estrogen, Slavic women usually have an hourglass or pear body shape. Such features give them extreme femininity, which makes them very feminine and attractive to men. Having a petite body structure is also quite common in Ukraine as well as Russia and is considered a Slavic trait.
Slavic Women and Fashion
While Western women often accuse Russian women of poor taste when it comes to fashion, the latter keep and cherish their love for bright colored clothes. Their passion for colors, gold, silver, and gems is most likely the legacy of the East and is sometimes difficult for westerners to understand. Traditionally, Slavic women wear their wedding ring on the ring finger of their right hand. Unlike western women, Russian and Ukrainian women may wear several rings that do not necessarily imply engagement or marriage.
Another essential part of the wardrobe of Slavic women is fur, much appreciated by them, which is simply due to the weather conditions in most parts of their countries. Again, this is another aspect of Slavic fashion, which may be difficult for westerners to understand. Winters are so cold in Russia and Ukraine that warmth is paramount. Fur coats are significantly less expensive in Slavic countries versus western countries and are often gifts passed down from mother to daughter, or even aunt to niece.
