Нижние «Песочные часы»: полные бёдра, узкая талия
The bottom hourglass body type features fuller hips that are noticeably wider than the bust — by about 2.5 cm (1 inch) or more — while still maintaining that classic hourglass defined waist. This creates a gorgeous pear-meets-hourglass silhouette that's curvaceous and strong. Bottom hourglass figures are often described as having a 'shelf hip' appearance, where the hip curve is prominent and beautiful. Understanding your bottom hourglass shape is key to dressing and training in a way that celebrates your proportions.

Bottom Hourglass Body Type FAQ
What's the difference between bottom hourglass and pear/triangle?
Both have wider hips, but the bottom hourglass has a significantly defined waist (25%+ reduction), while a pear/triangle has a less dramatic waist-to-hip ratio. The waist definition is what separates them.
What jeans work best for bottom hourglass?
Look for mid-rise or high-rise styles with stretch. Curvy-fit jeans (designed for a smaller waist relative to hips) are ideal. Bootcut and slight-flare styles elongate the leg. Avoid low-rise cuts that can gap at the waist.
What's the best workout for a bottom hourglass?
Build upper body strength (shoulders, back) 2-3 times weekly to balance proportions. Include core stability work and hip mobility sessions. Low-impact cardio like cycling or swimming supports your natural strengths without over-stressing joints.
