Embracing hip dips: Anatomy, acceptance, and changing trends

"Hip dips" has recently been frequently searched on social media. What does this mysterious term mean? In loose translation, we would say "hips with dimples." It refers to characteristic indentations that result primarily from anatomy. Some women desire them, while others would like to hide them.

"Hip dips". This phrase is circulating on social media like crazy. It also functions as "violin hips." This is because it describes hips that resemble the shape of a violin. The whole trick lies in the characteristic indentations and dimples, which are a source of pride for many women and a source of insecurities for others.

Where do "hip dips" come from?

It's worth knowing that the occurrence of "hip dips" depends on body structure. Looking at anatomy, women who have these dimples have fairly high-set hip bones.

Muscles also play a role – more developed thigh muscles highlight the "hip dips," while diligently performed buttock exercises can make the indentations less visible. In addition, it's also about the distribution of body fat.

Love your "hip dips." Even models have them

So, some women with "violin hips" will see an impact on their silhouette's appearance. Either way, it's worth accepting and unconditionally loving it. You can find many guides on how to get rid of "hip dips" on the internet.

But if you don't feel like it, you don't have to torture yourself with exercises. After all, beauty standards regularly change, and it's not worth following temporary trends on social media, especially concerning body appearance.

One might say that staring at retouched photos of models and Instagram influencers is detrimental. Here comes the example of Bella Hadid, a proud owner of hips with dimples.
