thigh gap
Inner leg space
Thigh gap is the space visible between the inner thighs when standing with feet together.
It became a beauty ideal promoted on social media, though its presence depends largely on bone structure rather than fitness or weight.
The term often appears in discussions of body image and unrealistic beauty standards: She realized chasing a thigh gap was damaging her health.
