I've felt like a freak of nature or something so many times literally, where I live all the girls I see, that are around my age, don't have hip dips and they have nice and rounded butts and thin and long legs and I'm like asdghbjhhg
My mum and I call these our teddy bear legs because we look like old fashioned teddy bears who have had their legs put on at the side not the bottom of the torso lol.
I love that you addressed that what body shape is popular right now is just a trend! Throughout history, there have been many different silhouettes in fashion at different times and today is no different. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you if your body doesn't match these 'ideals' just as you said in the video. Thank you for always being considerate and informative with your content! :) xx
It's absolutely absurd and disgusting how we trendify women's biological dispositions. As if doing it with clothing, hair and make-up isn't damaging enough. It makes me really angry.
Seriously does no one remember 15 years ago it was fashionable to have a skinny model body (think Paris Hilton)? It was almost something to make fun of if you had a big butt. I always think of that scene in Mean Girls (2004) where Regina is made fun of for gaining weight especially in her butt. That is literally what most women desire now though! Trends change all the time! Who knows what will be popular in 10 years?
@@kindasorta123 Exactly! And it's important to remember that bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and trends are always changing, but if you want to you always have the option of using clothing to create the look you're after, just as women in the past used bustles and stays and other undergarments to create their desired silhouette! :)
@kindasorta123 Yes!! There's a reason why "does my butt look big in this" is such an iconic phrase. Can't image anyone saying that nowadays, unless the response is "yaaasss girl" 😂
I feel even more insecure because even though I have a natural hourglass figure and large chest it looks nothing like the models online. I have hip dips and stretch marks. Also I’m slightly overweight so I look gross although I am dieting so hopefully I’ll lose my weight
Nobody ever commented about me not having them either. I don't think that feature is something more people notice at all honestly. At least on other people. We are usually a lot harsher to ourselves than we are to others.
Thessaly thanks so much for writing that you beautiful soul❤️... But you know...sometimes it's not about the guys but it's about how the girl feels about herself.
I never realized there was a name for this! I have hip dips as well and I always assumed it was a lack of muscle mass in that area that I could fix with some sort of targeted exercise or something. Perhaps that would help, but I think I can be more kind to my 'violin hips' knowing that they''re completely natural and healthy!
My ex would sent me booty workout videos and tips several times a week and thought that my shape was because I wasn't trying hard enough, not that it's just my skeletal structure. Needless to say, I'm super self conscious about my body still, but this helps ^-^
Adding to the what-to-wear, I also want to suggest paying attention to the underwear you wear as well. From personal experience, a strong elastic can pinch you in unflattering places and further emphasise the dips, whereas underwear with a thinner/weaker band, boycut underwear, or higher waisted underwear (+ shapewear ofc) can create a smoother appearance. I hope this is helpful :)
Granny high waisted underwear makes my but look nice. If I even think of wearing the standard underwear cut I look like a deformed blob fish as it is tight in all the wrong places
Sid Vicious once I switched from normal bikini cut to high waist my clothes look so much more flattering and they are way more comfy too. Try the Jockey high cuts 🙌🏼
I keep hearing violent hips and that's kinda hilarious to imagine angry vicious hips attacking people Edit : omg I'm so glad about my awful humour being appreciated
same i was trying to work out more assuming it was fat but now im here finding out through the comment section that it’s normal??? i shall now enjoy a bag of chips
Studying anatomy in my art program was what made me understand this dip is 100% normal and also the *most common* hip shape (by a long shot), no matter the overall size or proportions of your body, you'll most likely have them to some degree. This dip in the female form is an anchor point when drawing the female figure, and it's really annoying that we've been (or made ourselves) feel poorly or insecure about an actual anatomical feature of our bodies.
As a violinist, I just love that these are called "Violin Hips." I didn't know they had a name--I thought I just had weird thighs. Thanks for the help!
*sitting here as a bisexual man, having examined hip dips a total of 0 times in my entire life* Wow, media is just running out of ways to make women feel insecure and terrible, huh?
I’ve never realized I had hip dips, since i’ve been on social media I realized I have them which made me insecure, even though I have a nice hourglass bodyshape anyways 🙄 Social media is bad for my mental health tbh
I just love when anyone talks about hip dips. I have hip dips and when I was younger, with low rise jeans being all that was available in the early 2000’s, I always thought that I had a muffin top. I NEVER had a muffin top I had hip dips and I am furious at the world for making me think I should lose weight to fix it! Incidentally I have a “fashionable” hourglass with pronounced hips figure but I still have hip dips! Hip dips can appear in all body shapes.
This made me feel a lot better about myself. Even a doctor told me that my narrow hips are masculine and she felt sorry for me :( the narrow hip thing get even more pronounced since I have about 10kg overweight that I carry mostly on my upper body. Not healthy I know, but its my genetics and I’m trying to loose weight. Anyway seeing a normal weight person having trouble to have their jeans stay up make me feel less alone, since that must mean its not just me being fat but its also a normal body shape that some people have, not depending on their weight. Thank you!!
Girl I'm so mad at that doctor for you. What a horrid thing to say. and for what it's worth, I'm rail thin with no butt whatsoever- pants do NOT stay on, and the extra fabric around the butt area is just so unflattering. I have all the same holes in my jeans that Loepsie does. 😆
10 kg overweight isnt you being fat sweetheart. Some people just have more fluff. I have 10kg to much. When I weight the perfect weight everyone kept asking if I was sick or saying I looked creepily skinny... Just be you. Eat healthy and exercise and drink plenty of water and you'll be absolute fine
Christine H I can tell you... I think it does not matter wat your bodytype is. Jeans always have issues to stay up... high waisted works the best, but I still have to pull them up. This is because most people are in between sizes. One size is a little to small the other one anlittle to big. Actually I am currently pregnant and I even have to pull up most of the pregnancy jeans!!
Fun fact: with more and more c-sections, more and more mothers (and children) survive childbirth "despite" not having a large enough opening to give birth through for large heads/large babies (normal baby weight range is 2.5 to 4.5 kg, huge weight variation for normal). Narrow hips aren't masculine, narrow hips is because mothers with less optimal builds for gargantuan baby skulls can actually survive now, instead of dying like flies as was the norm in the past! That comment was ludicrously unprofessional and stupid. To say you have narrow hips and may need extra supervision during pregnancy and birth if you're going to have kids (as you may be in a higher risk category, I don't know if you actually are) would be the professional comment. To look down on you to your face is an asshole move and super unprofessional.
I look very unusual for my age, but then again.. people are born with all kinds of diffrent variations so yeah.. but mine seems to be rare. have only seen women over 40 with this strange fat distribution. thats what the doctor meant. but yeah very unprofessional indeed. I was only 20 (33 now) so I didn't know what to say to her. I just cried and bought some candy afterwards I remember :( I freaked out last year and got tested for hormone imbalance and pcos but didn't get a diagnosis. I had slightly higher androgens but still just a tiny bit above normal. but no life style change ever solves this problem for me. I tried losing weight and I looked better but I still had the same (top heavy/boyish) proportions. my doctor said its just genetic so I just have to accept it even if it haunted me my whole life. life could be so much worse. thank you all for nice comments!! ❤
The hip dip thing kinda depresses me. I have it but I had no idea that it was even a thing until I saw someone's workout video on how to get rid of them. Another insecurity now to worry about though I try not to care as its not so important :-/
I like how she talks about the TREND of body types. It really helped me think of my "shortcomings" as less of a fault and more of just not being in the current fashion. Idk why lol
I felt the same way as you until recently, when I decided to stop using Instagram, where all these beautiful girls have perfect round hips (even when I am fully aware these images are probably heavily retouched or staged; the idea that this could be achievable somehow was always in the back of my mind) and to also stop caring about current fashion trends, and to rather go with wearing things that I feel are more flattering on me. I think it's definitely been beneficial to avoid content like that, if you feel it makes you feel more insecure. It has definitely helped me.
I never knew to have hip dips were so scandalous...because it was so natural and most women have them. Its like every year society finds a way for women to hate themselves more. Also arent hip dips because a womans pelvice is wider than her waist? thats what I always thought, and that is good for child birth
There's nothing scandalous about it, and if it's never bothered you, please don't let it bother you now! :) The width of the pelvis doesn't have much to do with whether you get hip dips or not, it's rather determined by how high/long it is. I've heard having a higher pelvis can be a great asset for carrying babies, but I'm not very educated on that topic 😜
I said something similar. Why is society always looking for ways to make women hate their bodies? I've always thought violin hips were sexy AF and my opinion on that hasn't changed lol. Curves are beautiful, end of.
This is my body type and I've always been a little self conscious about it. I really appreciated the video. Just because you're not bothered or it never occurred to you doesn't mean someone else won't appreciate some tips on how to make your clothes more flattering 🤷
When did “society” even say a thing about this? Most people here legit didnt know about this thing therefore ur point is invalid and nobody cares, yall need to stop blaming society for ur personal issues
I had no idea there was a term for this! For years up until now I've just thought I had bizarre love handles I couldn't shift no matter what weight I am or how much exercise I do. This explains so much, thank you for this!
I’ve learned that hip dips are actually more common than totally round hips. They just aren’t “trendy” now as Lucy said. All those influencers on Instagram you see with very smooth, round hips? Some of them are natural, yes, but a LOT of them are actually surgery, photoshop, or a combo of the two! Hip dips are cute and normal and I hope more people can realize the Kardashian Jenner hip trend is actually heavily supported by surgery and photo editing.
I'm personally happy someone identified 'hip dips'. I always knew things didn't look quite right on me and always said 'im skinny but bumpy' or 'i have love handles, but it's bone'. Now it's identifyable I can look for stuff like this to minimise them. Also instead of peplum- baggy shirts with tie waists.
i NEVER knew my hip dips had a name nor did I knew they were natural! i have a lot of insecurities about them and tried a lot of methods to make it "right". You made my day, my week and my whole year by telling me there's nothing wrong with it... Really. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU!!
Sooo relieved by your talk in the intro 💞 thank you for explaining how normal and natural this feature is! I was worried this would be a typical “here’s how to fix an invented body problem” fashion video. It’s great to see feature celebrated!
I absolutely despise my hip dips. Thank God for skirts and dresses since they hide them and make me look like I have more of an hourglass figure. I wish it was easier to accept myself but I seriously can’t
Bless you (also, the janking up of the jeans by the belt loops is such a big mood for me like it was so annoying until I replaced literally all my pants by high waisted ones)
Omg I have hip dips and I always have this problem of my hips looking so strange in some outfits😭 I’m so happy somebody is talking about it ❤️ thank you!
look closely at different women around you and you'll see tons of hip dips☺️ the bodies you see on insta are achieved through posing, surgery and editing don't believe what you see
Don't look or pay attention to stuff that makes you feel bad about anything about yourself. This is just another media attempt to sell women something that they don't need (clothes, surgery, etc.). This is something very normal and quite pretty, men like it (not that that's a determining factor, lol), and most people wouldn't ever give it a second thought if not for the moronic media.
Just delete instagram , snapchat and facebook . That part of the problem is now solved . If you have a tendency to go on it just remind yourself that you wont like it and whats the point ? Now the tendency to redownload is eliminated for a while .
What I love about you is that you’re unapologetically you. No mask, no facade. This is the wise, soothing, and educational content I appreciate in a TH-camr 💕
I love how you mentioned at mid rose jeans and low rise jeans fall down. This used to happen to be when I was younger. Now I only wear high rise jeans and I can’t imagine my life without them 🤩
I'm a girl, but I'm lesbian and I find hip dips beautiful because it shows the "imperfections" which are completely natural. It gives them a more real aspect.
I have hip dips to but I love them and I always wear skin tight leggings and jeans to accentuate them because I love embracing my body. I used to hate my hips dips but as I've got older I don't hate them as much now.
you are so considerate when you talk about about body shapes and trends, and i love that. I didnt even know it was a thing, i was tryinf to explain it to a friend just months ago and i couldn't describe enought to make it clear. I'm also trying my best to accept my body as it is (having put on weight, probably because of medication) but i still feel a little self conscious about this and im so glad i can try something new to help me on my journey. Thank you loepsie!
Wow my love for your videos have ascended to a higher level! Thank you for being so OPEN with your body to thousands of people to see. I can imagine it's not an easy thing! It inspires me so much!
Thank you for the video, it makes me feel more comfortable with my body knowing I stil can use some cloths that I like but just changing the materials... I would have never thought of that.
I have pretty bad hip dips, and have always felt so insecure....but no idea that this was something others have too. Thank you for making this video with these tips and making me feel better ❤️
i like low rise pants but never liked the way it looked on me (a mix of insecurities and in my opinion ill fitting) until i accidentally tried pants that were 2 sizes too big that naturally fell on my hip dips and i really love the look. i’m learning how to dress and emphasize parts of my body through fashion to my liking and it’s really empowering. i refuse to let my insecurities win.
My problem with my hip dips is with bathing suits. Up until recently, bathing suit bottoms just had too little material and one pieces just look bad on me
I have the same problem! Most bikini bottoms sit right on the "dips" so i always look like my body is spilling out from above and under it even though it's actually bone that's sitting on top that's kinda prominent! Have you found any solution for it?
Anka Davila So far I have only found swim shorts work but there is a trend here right now, with wide band bathing suit bottoms and retro high rise bottoms. I have yet to try either but it's on my to do list!
@@mommabear2544 yeah I was thinking of trying the high wasted ones too but I'm just not sure if they will suit me very well since one pieces look horrible on me and I feel like they will be similar haha
I’ve been insecure about my hip dips for most of my life, mostly because I (like a lot of people I’m finding out) had never heard anyone talk about them and I felt like I hadn’t seen a lot of people with them. A lot of the tips in your video are styles I naturally found myself preferring (namely high waisted pants, A-line skirts, cinched waists, and thicker materials). Thank you for this video, I’m so happy to see people talking about this more :)
I 100% agree with all of these tips! I have hip dips and a body shape very similar to yours and these are all things I’ve found myself gravitating towards as well
I have hip dips, and the way you talked about this made me smile :) I used to feel insecure about them growing up, but I'm learning to love them! I also just want to say you seem like a great person. I've watched some of your videos randomly and you're really captivating so I finally subscribed :)
Why did i just watch this? I've been wondering all this time about the awkwardness of my hips. Now i know it's called a "hip dip" 🙂 this is helpful! Thank you!
I have been a little self-concious about my hip dips ever since people began wearing hip pads to disguise them but when I saw the picture in your thumbnail, I fell in love with their look. They're cute on you and thats how I'll try to see mine too from now on..
Huh. I’m shaped like this and never even considered it as an issue or concern. Interesting how we can focus on specific things with our bodies that others don’t notice at all (I used to have some major dysmorphia over my knobby knee shape, of all things. I didn’t wear shorts or expose them for a few years as a young teen). Thanks for addressing that the hourglass/smooth booty and hips is a societal body shape trend for the time. I am a fan of high waisted skirts, so I’ll continue rocking those, but you’ll have to tear my low rise jeans from my cold hands ;)
I have bony hips and I don't have 'dips' per se but my hips are like the flat sides of a trapezoid. I've never felt too self-conscious about them but every tip you shared I was like YES because these are exactly the clothes I feel best in.
I thought I was the only one with riped belt loops on my jeans from hiking them up. Even worse for me, I do have wide hips and hip dips, so it's muffin topish when they sink low enough. I'm so glad you linked this video in the comments of your Kibbe video.
I like the way hip dips look like. I like to draw and this type of things are just my favorites! A hook nose as well and big ears. Many of the things I like are not considered attractive but they bring a lot of personality to your look and that's beautiful
I'm so glad I've come to get used to and dress according to my body shape. I have a pretty prominent bum and hip dips, so from the front I'm fairly skinny looking, but in profile I look pretty curvy! I found that the thicker fabrics, high waists and peblum tops/dresses are my best friends when I want to accentuate that hourglass shape. I also like longer, flowy tops that I use a skinny belt to cinch at the waist and they give off the same effect.
This video just made my day! I was over-conscious of the particular shape of my hips for a long time, and while I've come to accept it as part of my own unique physique, it's really oddly comforting to have a cute name to refer to it by.
I am 46 years old and have literally never heard of hip dips/violin hips before this video. It's interesting that people get hung up on something like that, but then I'm curvy (hourglass) and I get insecure about that at times (I'd never ever ever wear a peplum top, for example, or the blouson tops that are so popular now). Everyone has insecurity, I suppose. But an a-line skirt seems universally flattering! I love my a-line dresses and skirts.
Thank goodness someone is addressing this type of hips!! lol I personally have found that high waisted jeans don't really do anything for me, it just makes me look more squared, and regarding dresses I avoid those with any sort of elastic around the waistline, it accentuates the squareness of my hips. I opt for those where the top is sewn to the bottom, they give you such a beautiful waistline 💗.
Gosh I haven’t thought about my hip dips in years. In high school and college I felt so insecure about them. I have very wide hips as wells as hip dips, so things like peplum tops and wide leg pants tend to make me look heavier than I want. Also I always struggled to find high waisted clothes that were high waisted enough to actually make it above my hips. Skirts and dresses were my friend, especially ones with a lot of movement. Now I honestly don’t care about my hip dips haha
Thank you for this! Although I feel comfortable with my body, I always thought violin dips were something kinda wrong or smth, but growing up I've learned to accept and even like them. Seeing people talking about them and even find flattering styles gives me an incredible confidence boost. Thank you! ❤
I have a really small waste, a decent hips width, for example without a hip dip, my thighs wouldnt touch at all despite being a normal size (they arent really small ) but because of my hip dip, my hips look really small
I didn't know this was a thing!!!! I have this hip dip and even with a rounder romp, I have the dips very noticable. Loepsie. You truly have inspired me in so many ways watching you. I'm trying to push more of myself to be out there even when i get uncomfortable i want to try! Thank you :) much love to you and yours!
i had no problem with m hip dips when i was younger, bec i had more rounder thighs that made my upper thighs look wider than my actual hip. but childbirth now made my hips wider and my thighs slimmer so i compensate by wearing wide pants with cinched waist and a-line skirts and dresses.
I really thank you for making this video and letting people know the hourglass figure is just a trend right now and that it's okay to embrace your body and your own beauty 💜✨
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Violin hips have been one of my biggest insecurities all throughout my teenage and into my adult years, and I’ve never seen anyone talk about it..... not gonna lie, I thought my body was just odd, as I have pretty wide hips, and a very prominent hip dip. Keeping all of this information in mind the next time I buy clothes 💕 again thank you, the way you talked about it in this video really hit home, and I need to be more kind to myself
I have hips dips too. I kinda have a nice figure overall, but because of my hips it looks weird and squarish. Like I'm a V (my torso) on a large square. It's awkward :/ Edit : I pull my jeans aaaaaaall the time too 😱
Oh my GOSH! The hip dips, the yanking up jeans by the belt loops, thank you SO MUCH for this video. I was in high school during the low-waist jean fashion and I pretty much just accepted that my butt in jeans would always look terrible. I'll seek out some more high-waisted pairs from now on. Thank you again!
All of these body positivity videos are actually making me more self-conscious. I don't even know if I have "hip dips," but I feel like I need to check now.
Im really happy to know that theres a lot of people out there with my body type as I used to be insecure about my hip dips. Ive always wanted that perfect round, booty side shape but it just looked weird from the front and back view. I think I have come to better terms with it though and started accepting them :)
Ugh thank you so much for this video. I didn't feel insecure about my hip dips until I started to realize that EVERYONE popular and conventionally attractive did not look like me in that way, so I started viewing it as ugly. Keep up the body positivity, you help so many people ❤️
I didn’t know this was a real thing! Always showed my friends how I have my hip bone, and then it goes back in and is straight, and then my leg 🤣 I don’t mind having them, I find them cute
I never knew this was a thing, I honestly thought there was something wrong with me! Thank you for your lovely and encouraging words and I will try and be kinder to my violin hips! Love your videos 💖
I didn't know there was a name for this! I'm super skinny so I just assumed it was because I didn't have enough fat in my hip/bum area. Thanks so much for this video!!
I just wanna say that Marilyn Monroe had hip dips and so do plenty of other curvy and not curvy celebrities and there's nothing wrong with you if you have them☺️ I still wear the same stuff I like regardless cause honestly idk how I could NOT have hipdips with hips this wide haha
I feel like not many people know about this so thank you for the vid ,I grew up with my mum always telling me i should work out more so I can make my hips wider or that something was wrong with my butt so that really sucked but I now feel a bit more positive about it .
When you're above a certain age, this stuff starts to seem so pointless. I remember it like yesterday when this exact look was the "supermodel look" and girls were dying to have this...
I love how you say that there's no reason to be insecure about hip dips and that it's a perfectly natural thing, but if you are insecure that's okay too because no one can tell you how to feel about your body. With the body acceptance movement, I feel like a lot of well-meaning people miss that last part, that acceptance is something you learn yourself and in the meanwhile there's nothing wrong with easing insecurity (in non-harmful ways obv)
I have clothing with which I think I look bomb partially because of hip dips, and then there are others that make me feel like a 1700s maiden with a puffy, heavy bottom figure. They look great in circle skirts though.
Only until recently when I found out this is a thing, I thought mine were because I grew up wearing underwear that was too tight 🤣🤣

Sebastian Lugo I have never seen hip dips in the media lol
P Kuroki yes because everyone has rounded hips and "it's bad" to have hip dips
Hi Sebastian 💓
I’ve never realized I had hip dips, since i’ve been on social media I realized I have them which made me insecure, even though I have a nice hourglass bodyshape anyways 🙄 Social media is bad for my mental health tbh
It has nothing to do with the media. I’ve been insecure about it since forever and didn’t even know anyone else and it.
I just love when anyone talks about hip dips. I have hip dips and when I was younger, with low rise jeans being all that was available in the early 2000’s, I always thought that I had a muffin top. I NEVER had a muffin top I had hip dips and I am furious at the world for making me think I should lose weight to fix it! Incidentally I have a “fashionable” hourglass with pronounced hips figure but I still have hip dips! Hip dips can appear in all body shapes.
Omg i can relate to the low-rise jeans struggle! I hated my "muffin top" too!!
This made me feel a lot better about myself. Even a doctor told me that my narrow hips are masculine and she felt sorry for me :( the narrow hip thing get even more pronounced since I have about 10kg overweight that I carry mostly on my upper body. Not healthy I know, but its my genetics and I’m trying to loose weight. Anyway seeing a normal weight person having trouble to have their jeans stay up make me feel less alone, since that must mean its not just me being fat but its also a normal body shape that some people have, not depending on their weight. Thank you!!
Girl I'm so mad at that doctor for you. What a horrid thing to say. and for what it's worth, I'm rail thin with no butt whatsoever- pants do NOT stay on, and the extra fabric around the butt area is just so unflattering. I have all the same holes in my jeans that Loepsie does. 😆
10 kg overweight isnt you being fat sweetheart. Some people just have more fluff. I have 10kg to much. When I weight the perfect weight everyone kept asking if I was sick or saying I looked creepily skinny... Just be you. Eat healthy and exercise and drink plenty of water and you'll be absolute fine
Christine H I can tell you... I think it does not matter wat your bodytype is. Jeans always have issues to stay up... high waisted works the best, but I still have to pull them up. This is because most people are in between sizes. One size is a little to small the other one anlittle to big. Actually I am currently pregnant and I even have to pull up most of the pregnancy jeans!!
Fun fact: with more and more c-sections, more and more mothers (and children) survive childbirth "despite" not having a large enough opening to give birth through for large heads/large babies (normal baby weight range is 2.5 to 4.5 kg, huge weight variation for normal).
Narrow hips aren't masculine, narrow hips is because mothers with less optimal builds for gargantuan baby skulls can actually survive now, instead of dying like flies as was the norm in the past!
That comment was ludicrously unprofessional and stupid. To say you have narrow hips and may need extra supervision during pregnancy and birth if you're going to have kids (as you may be in a higher risk category, I don't know if you actually are) would be the professional comment. To look down on you to your face is an asshole move and super unprofessional.
I look very unusual for my age, but then again.. people are born with all kinds of diffrent variations so yeah.. but mine seems to be rare. have only seen women over 40 with this strange fat distribution. thats what the doctor meant. but yeah very unprofessional indeed. I was only 20 (33 now) so I didn't know what to say to her. I just cried and bought some candy afterwards I remember :( I freaked out last year and got tested for hormone imbalance and pcos but didn't get a diagnosis. I had slightly higher androgens but still just a tiny bit above normal. but no life style change ever solves this problem for me. I tried losing weight and I looked better but I still had the same (top heavy/boyish) proportions. my doctor said its just genetic so I just have to accept it even if it haunted me my whole life. life could be so much worse. thank you all for nice comments!! ❤
The hip dip thing kinda depresses me. I have it but I had no idea that it was even a thing until I saw someone's workout video on how to get rid of them. Another insecurity now to worry about though I try not to care as its not so important :-/
I like how she talks about the TREND of body types. It really helped me think of my "shortcomings" as less of a fault and more of just not being in the current fashion. Idk why lol
M Townsend yes totally!
Lol if that's high on ur list of priorities I envy you.
@@soniag8739 it isn't...
I felt the same way as you until recently, when I decided to stop using Instagram, where all these beautiful girls have perfect round hips (even when I am fully aware these images are probably heavily retouched or staged; the idea that this could be achievable somehow was always in the back of my mind) and to also stop caring about current fashion trends, and to rather go with wearing things that I feel are more flattering on me. I think it's definitely been beneficial to avoid content like that, if you feel it makes you feel more insecure. It has definitely helped me.
Hip dips are beautiful - Dita Von Teese has hip dips and just rocks it :)
There are times she shows them off, but during performing her corsets and garters hide them. But she is a very classy woman
Marylin Freakin Monroe had them, guys. That's enough for me, I can rock those hip dips to Hell and back!
Lolita
Girl, you're awesome ♡
um... no she didn't. You literally picked the poster girl for the hour glass shape...
Ayelet N. She has an hour glass figure with hip dips
Ayelet N. She does. I didn’t believe it either so looked up pics of her in pants or shorts and she does. Makes me feel 100% better about myself
REALLY???? oh now i'm confident as hell
I never knew to have hip dips were so scandalous...because it was so natural and most women have them. Its like every year society finds a way for women to hate themselves more. Also arent hip dips because a womans pelvice is wider than her waist? thats what I always thought, and that is good for child birth
There's nothing scandalous about it, and if it's never bothered you, please don't let it bother you now! :) The width of the pelvis doesn't have much to do with whether you get hip dips or not, it's rather determined by how high/long it is. I've heard having a higher pelvis can be a great asset for carrying babies, but I'm not very educated on that topic 😜
I said something similar. Why is society always looking for ways to make women hate their bodies? I've always thought violin hips were sexy AF and my opinion on that hasn't changed lol. Curves are beautiful, end of.
This is my body type and I've always been a little self conscious about it. I really appreciated the video. Just because you're not bothered or it never occurred to you doesn't mean someone else won't appreciate some tips on how to make your clothes more flattering 🤷
When did “society” even say a thing about this? Most people here legit didnt know about this thing therefore ur point is invalid and nobody cares, yall need to stop blaming society for ur personal issues
@@black1cat21 aw )': u stupid stupid
I'm a pear-shapped girl but I also have hip dips. Such a conundrum! Haha thanks for the video
Emily omg YES someone with the same body as meeeee
omg me too !!
Omg same!
same x4
I have an hourglass body type because I have big boobs small waist and butt but I do have hip dips
I love how instead of teaching people to get rid of them you teach people to embrace their bodies and assure them that it is natural.
Well in my opinion that is what she is doing.
I had no idea there was a term for this! For years up until now I've just thought I had bizarre love handles I couldn't shift no matter what weight I am or how much exercise I do. This explains so much, thank you for this!
I always thought it was caused by my wearing of tight, low rise jeans in middle school when I was growing 😂😭
I’ve learned that hip dips are actually more common than totally round hips. They just aren’t “trendy” now as Lucy said. All those influencers on Instagram you see with very smooth, round hips? Some of them are natural, yes, but a LOT of them are actually surgery, photoshop, or a combo of the two!
Hip dips are cute and normal and I hope more people can realize the Kardashian Jenner hip trend is actually heavily supported by surgery and photo editing.
PREACH
Also widely influenced by black culture ❤️
Sarah idk about that since it always changes and in the past there were times where curves were the norm
Brendons Forehead big lips & wide hips are a trend now because of black culture influence period 🤷🏻♀️
Sarah nope
I'm personally happy someone identified 'hip dips'. I always knew things didn't look quite right on me and always said 'im skinny but bumpy' or 'i have love handles, but it's bone'. Now it's identifyable I can look for stuff like this to minimise them. Also instead of peplum- baggy shirts with tie waists.
i NEVER knew my hip dips had a name nor did I knew they were natural! i have a lot of insecurities about them and tried a lot of methods to make it "right". You made my day, my week and my whole year by telling me there's nothing wrong with it... Really. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU!!
Sooo relieved by your talk in the intro 💞 thank you for explaining how normal and natural this feature is! I was worried this would be a typical “here’s how to fix an invented body problem” fashion video. It’s great to see feature celebrated!
I just hate my hips dips because I have a "square butt" and it makes me feel so insecure dhjsbdbdbdbx
Same imma cry
The odd part is, I have wide hips, small waist, short body but I have really bad hip dips😂
Zinc me toooo 😭
Literally sameeee
Yep same
@Suga's grandpa dance Infired me so hard i feel you!!! especially when im wearing high waisted skinny jeans!
Omg yes
I don’t know if my body shape is an hourglass or inverted triangle or what lmao
I absolutely despise my hip dips. Thank God for skirts and dresses since they hide them and make me look like I have more of an hourglass figure. I wish it was easier to accept myself but I seriously can’t
Bless you (also, the janking up of the jeans by the belt loops is such a big mood for me like it was so annoying until I replaced literally all my pants by high waisted ones)
Omg I have hip dips and I always have this problem of my hips looking so strange in some outfits😭 I’m so happy somebody is talking about it ❤️ thank you!
Your explenation about the high waist jeans basically answered all my questions and insecurities since I was 12. Thank you so much!
I have hip dips and I feel so insicure because of the media, so I'm trying to stay away from it but it's so hard to do
look closely at different women around you and you'll see tons of hip dips☺️ the bodies you see on insta are achieved through posing, surgery and editing don't believe what you see
Don't look or pay attention to stuff that makes you feel bad about anything about yourself. This is just another media attempt to sell women something that they don't need (clothes, surgery, etc.). This is something very normal and quite pretty, men like it (not that that's a determining factor, lol), and most people wouldn't ever give it a second thought if not for the moronic media.
Just delete instagram , snapchat and facebook . That part of the problem is now solved . If you have a tendency to go on it just remind yourself that you wont like it and whats the point ? Now the tendency to redownload is eliminated for a while .
I’m also insecure, it’s not the best feeling but I’m sure you’re beautiful x
Marilyn Monroe had hip dips apparently, Scarlett Johansson, Beyonce and even Miley Cyrus. Forget the 'perfect ideal' shape, embrace it!
What I love about you is that you’re unapologetically you. No mask, no facade. This is the wise, soothing, and educational content I appreciate in a TH-camr 💕
when you talked about how your jeans always fall i felt that 😭 i have that problem all the time
I've always had this problem, and never knew why. My mind is blown.
@@justabunneh6490 I feel the same way
I have to wear suspenders bc belts just do not do it for me at this point lol.
I love how you mentioned at mid rose jeans and low rise jeans fall down. This used to happen to be when I was younger. Now I only wear high rise jeans and I can’t imagine my life without them 🤩
Hip dips are cute as hell, y’all might be insecure but we out here like 😍
are you a guy?
@@dariproxi to me, yes.
Okay I just need to find me a girl like you then (I assume you're a girl?)
annoying book girl yes I am 😂
I'm a girl, but I'm lesbian and I find hip dips beautiful because it shows the "imperfections" which are completely natural. It gives them a more real aspect.
I have hip dips to but I love them and I always wear skin tight leggings and jeans to accentuate them because I love embracing my body. I used to hate my hips dips but as I've got older I don't hate them as much now.
I don't know why but you seem like such a nice and cool person. I wish I had a friend like you haha
you are so considerate when you talk about about body shapes and trends, and i love that. I didnt even know it was a thing, i was tryinf to explain it to a friend just months ago and i couldn't describe enought to make it clear. I'm also trying my best to accept my body as it is (having put on weight, probably because of medication) but i still feel a little self conscious about this and im so glad i can try something new to help me on my journey. Thank you loepsie!
Wow my love for your videos have ascended to a higher level! Thank you for being so OPEN with your body to thousands of people to see. I can imagine it's not an easy thing! It inspires me so much!
I love your work! I have hip dips too!
Thank you for the video, it makes me feel more comfortable with my body knowing I stil can use some cloths that I like but just changing the materials... I would have never thought of that.
I have pretty bad hip dips, and have always felt so insecure....but no idea that this was something others have too. Thank you for making this video with these tips and making me feel better ❤️
i like low rise pants but never liked the way it looked on me (a mix of insecurities and in my opinion ill fitting) until i accidentally tried pants that were 2 sizes too big that naturally fell on my hip dips and i really love the look. i’m learning how to dress and emphasize parts of my body through fashion to my liking and it’s really empowering. i refuse to let my insecurities win.
My problem with my hip dips is with bathing suits. Up until recently, bathing suit bottoms just had too little material and one pieces just look bad on me
I have the same problem! Most bikini bottoms sit right on the "dips" so i always look like my body is spilling out from above and under it even though it's actually bone that's sitting on top that's kinda prominent! Have you found any solution for it?
Anka Davila So far I have only found swim shorts work but there is a trend here right now, with wide band bathing suit bottoms and retro high rise bottoms. I have yet to try either but it's on my to do list!
@@mommabear2544 yeah I was thinking of trying the high wasted ones too but I'm just not sure if they will suit me very well since one pieces look horrible on me and I feel like they will be similar haha
Have a look at korean/japanese bathing suits guys, you might have more options!
I’ve been insecure about my hip dips for most of my life, mostly because I (like a lot of people I’m finding out) had never heard anyone talk about them and I felt like I hadn’t seen a lot of people with them. A lot of the tips in your video are styles I naturally found myself preferring (namely high waisted pants, A-line skirts, cinched waists, and thicker materials). Thank you for this video, I’m so happy to see people talking about this more :)
I 100% agree with all of these tips! I have hip dips and a body shape very similar to yours and these are all things I’ve found myself gravitating towards as well
I have hip dips, and the way you talked about this made me smile :) I used to feel insecure about them growing up, but I'm learning to love them!
I also just want to say you seem like a great person. I've watched some of your videos randomly and you're really captivating so I finally subscribed :)
Omg Loepsie! You have the best video ideas!! :D I somehow always end up back at your channel. You have a solution for everything I search 😂
Why did i just watch this? I've been wondering all this time about the awkwardness of my hips. Now i know it's called a "hip dip" 🙂 this is helpful! Thank you!
I’m an hour glass shape w strong hip dips It j looks weird :/
Same
At least you’re an hourglass
Same 😒
I have a defined waist but I can't always tell cuz my hip dips. Idk what body type I am but I would say a curvy rectangle haha.
@@uwuowo-gg1dp sameee
Omg i love the way you talk about how it is just a body part. You talk in a good way and makes everyone have their own opinio:)
Omg !! I never realized that my pants are always falling off because of my hip dips ! Thank u, nice video :)
I have been a little self-concious about my hip dips ever since people began wearing hip pads to disguise them but when I saw the picture in your thumbnail, I fell in love with their look. They're cute on you and thats how I'll try to see mine too from now on..
Huh. I’m shaped like this and never even considered it as an issue or concern. Interesting how we can focus on specific things with our bodies that others don’t notice at all (I used to have some major dysmorphia over my knobby knee shape, of all things. I didn’t wear shorts or expose them for a few years as a young teen).
Thanks for addressing that the hourglass/smooth booty and hips is a societal body shape trend for the time.
I am a fan of high waisted skirts, so I’ll continue rocking those, but you’ll have to tear my low rise jeans from my cold hands ;)
Hahaha please do wear whatever you want! 😄
I have bony hips and I don't have 'dips' per se but my hips are like the flat sides of a trapezoid. I've never felt too self-conscious about them but every tip you shared I was like YES because these are exactly the clothes I feel best in.
Your belt loop tears made me laugh. You’re aggressive with your pants girl! 😂
I thought I was the only one with riped belt loops on my jeans from hiking them up. Even worse for me, I do have wide hips and hip dips, so it's muffin topish when they sink low enough. I'm so glad you linked this video in the comments of your Kibbe video.
Still holding onto my peplum tops
I like the way hip dips look like. I like to draw and this type of things are just my favorites! A hook nose as well and big ears. Many of the things I like are not considered attractive but they bring a lot of personality to your look and that's beautiful
Yes, I have hip dips and I love wearing dresses and skirts, it really helps!!
I'm so glad I've come to get used to and dress according to my body shape. I have a pretty prominent bum and hip dips, so from the front I'm fairly skinny looking, but in profile I look pretty curvy!
I found that the thicker fabrics, high waists and peblum tops/dresses are my best friends when I want to accentuate that hourglass shape. I also like longer, flowy tops that I use a skinny belt to cinch at the waist and they give off the same effect.
You have such a wholesome content! Thank you Lucy! And your choices are on point!!
This video just made my day! I was over-conscious of the particular shape of my hips for a long time, and while I've come to accept it as part of my own unique physique, it's really oddly comforting to have a cute name to refer to it by.
I am 46 years old and have literally never heard of hip dips/violin hips before this video. It's interesting that people get hung up on something like that, but then I'm curvy (hourglass) and I get insecure about that at times (I'd never ever ever wear a peplum top, for example, or the blouson tops that are so popular now). Everyone has insecurity, I suppose. But an a-line skirt seems universally flattering! I love my a-line dresses and skirts.
Me, too! I'm 56 and not-skinny-not-fat, and A-lines are definitely my friends!
Thank goodness someone is addressing this type of hips!! lol I personally have found that high waisted jeans don't really do anything for me, it just makes me look more squared, and regarding dresses I avoid those with any sort of elastic around the waistline, it accentuates the squareness of my hips. I opt for those where the top is sewn to the bottom, they give you such a beautiful waistline 💗.
I haven't even watched this and I already know it's gonna be so helpful
Finally someone who knows about hipdips.great video
Gosh I haven’t thought about my hip dips in years. In high school and college I felt so insecure about them.
I have very wide hips as wells as hip dips, so things like peplum tops and wide leg pants tend to make me look heavier than I want. Also I always struggled to find high waisted clothes that were high waisted enough to actually make it above my hips. Skirts and dresses were my friend, especially ones with a lot of movement.
Now I honestly don’t care about my hip dips haha
Thank you for this! Although I feel comfortable with my body, I always thought violin dips were something kinda wrong or smth, but growing up I've learned to accept and even like them. Seeing people talking about them and even find flattering styles gives me an incredible confidence boost. Thank you! ❤
I am hour-glass shaped but I have a hip dip ? 🤔
The Junkk same
Me too
Me toooo
maybe your waist is hourglass but then your hips are more inverted? maybe its just me idk
I have a really small waste, a decent hips width, for example without a hip dip, my thighs wouldnt touch at all despite being a normal size (they arent really small ) but because of my hip dip, my hips look really small
I didn't know this was a thing!!!! I have this hip dip and even with a rounder romp, I have the dips very noticable. Loepsie. You truly have inspired me in so many ways watching you. I'm trying to push more of myself to be out there even when i get uncomfortable i want to try! Thank you :) much love to you and yours!
I always felt alone with my hip dips because I didnt notice any one else that had them. Thank you for touching on this subject!
i had no problem with m hip dips when i was younger, bec i had more rounder thighs that made my upper thighs look wider than my actual hip. but childbirth now made my hips wider and my thighs slimmer so i compensate by wearing wide pants with cinched waist and a-line skirts and dresses.
Love your videos thank you for spreading body positivity too
This video is so helpful. Thanks so much
Thank you for spreading the body positivity! I also have violin hips
I really thank you for making this video and letting people know the hourglass figure is just a trend right now and that it's okay to embrace your body and your own beauty 💜✨
Didn't ever really think about hip dips before. Tell me more things like this!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Violin hips have been one of my biggest insecurities all throughout my teenage and into my adult years, and I’ve never seen anyone talk about it..... not gonna lie, I thought my body was just odd, as I have pretty wide hips, and a very prominent hip dip. Keeping all of this information in mind the next time I buy clothes 💕 again thank you, the way you talked about it in this video really hit home, and I need to be more kind to myself
I have hips dips too. I kinda have a nice figure overall, but because of my hips it looks weird and squarish. Like I'm a V (my torso) on a large square. It's awkward :/
Edit : I pull my jeans aaaaaaall the time too 😱
This actually answered so many questions I've had about my body and why things fit so oddly and difficultly
Thank you so much for talking about this! I have hip dips as well! :)
Oh my GOSH! The hip dips, the yanking up jeans by the belt loops, thank you SO MUCH for this video. I was in high school during the low-waist jean fashion and I pretty much just accepted that my butt in jeans would always look terrible. I'll seek out some more high-waisted pairs from now on. Thank you again!
All of these body positivity videos are actually making me more self-conscious. I don't even know if I have "hip dips," but I feel like I need to check now.
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO. NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS APPROACH TO HIP DIPS
what to wear with hip dips:
whatever you want because you’re gorgeous either way
Im really happy to know that theres a lot of people out there with my body type as I used to be insecure about my hip dips. Ive always wanted that perfect round, booty side shape but it just looked weird from the front and back view. I think I have come to better terms with it though and started accepting them :)
i always had dips in my hips and never knew what they were called, i also play the violin! lol
Ugh thank you so much for this video. I didn't feel insecure about my hip dips until I started to realize that EVERYONE popular and conventionally attractive did not look like me in that way, so I started viewing it as ugly. Keep up the body positivity, you help so many people ❤️
I didn’t know this was a real thing! Always showed my friends how I have my hip bone, and then it goes back in and is straight, and then my leg 🤣 I don’t mind having them, I find them cute
I never knew this was a thing, I honestly thought there was something wrong with me! Thank you for your lovely and encouraging words and I will try and be kinder to my violin hips! Love your videos 💖
I didn't know there was a name for this! I'm super skinny so I just assumed it was because I didn't have enough fat in my hip/bum area. Thanks so much for this video!!
I think it’s so great that you’ve made this video, especially with a strong confidence, I think this has and will help many people ❤️ Thank you xx
I just wanna say that Marilyn Monroe had hip dips and so do plenty of other curvy and not curvy celebrities and there's nothing wrong with you if you have them☺️ I still wear the same stuff I like regardless cause honestly idk how I could NOT have hipdips with hips this wide haha
I feel like not many people know about this so thank you for the vid ,I grew up with my mum always telling me i should work out more so I can make my hips wider or that something was wrong with my butt so that really sucked but I now feel a bit more positive about it .
When you're above a certain age, this stuff starts to seem so pointless. I remember it like yesterday when this exact look was the "supermodel look" and girls were dying to have this...
I love how you say that there's no reason to be insecure about hip dips and that it's a perfectly natural thing, but if you are insecure that's okay too because no one can tell you how to feel about your body. With the body acceptance movement, I feel like a lot of well-meaning people miss that last part, that acceptance is something you learn yourself and in the meanwhile there's nothing wrong with easing insecurity (in non-harmful ways obv)
I have clothing with which I think I look bomb partially because of hip dips, and then there are others that make me feel like a 1700s maiden with a puffy, heavy bottom figure. They look great in circle skirts though.
