Why do people shave their legs?
Experts believe people shave their legs for fashion and to feel comfortable in different levels of nakedness.
In scientific times, people only removed hairs on skin that showed, that is the neck, face, and sometimes the forearms. However, due to civilization and the introduction of several fashion innovations, things started to change in the 1900s. People now shave skin regions that are not usually exposed so they can look better in certain outfits.
Hair-free legs became a norm in the 1940s, especially for women. After several years, men started to shave their legs too. Leg shaving has now become a popular practice in different parts of the world.
