Ever wondered why certain clothes don't look as good on you as on another girl with similar stats?
How to find your type:
https://youtu.be/rLIuYHLzZpMAly Art has many videos with very good tips on how each type can dress and style themself to look their best.

Happy to see a thread on this since I've recently gotten into this topic. Thanks anon!
I find it pretty difficult to find information/celebrity comparisons on these but here is another graphic I found. Not sure how accurate it is though.
No. 92687
>>92685It has less to do with categorizing beauty (iirc it's explicitly said that it's not a scale of attractiveness) and more with trying to help women how to dress or do make up for their bodies.
Personally, it has helped me a lot to dress more flattering for my body shape.
Of course most women won't fit 100% into one specific category. You can be a combination of two similar types or posses attributes from multiple different types and still benefit from the styling tips.

>>92685I see it differently: so many young girls and women follow every single modern trend, no matter whether they like it or whether it suits them.
According to this theory you don't need to do that, instead find the things that really suit you personally.
I'm a Dramatic Classic, I will never look cute, I could never wear j-fashion. When I was younger I always thought that I need to were the same things as my friends - even though I looked awful in them.
If something really fits you, then you'll also feel more comfortable and confident.
It's not likes he's telling everybody that they have to wear certain things, rather what cuts or patterns to avoid because they're unflattering for your type.
No. 92697
>>92691You are totally right! Wear what you want to wear because life is too short. If this is your motto - go for it!
But this thread is for women and girls who want to understand forms and lines. People who didn't find their styles yet and are insecure about what is flattering and what is not.
>I was a so-called "fashion victim" and I bought every month new clothes in order to be ~trendy like the stacies in my school and later uni. I never stood out, I didn't feel good in my own skin. At one point I decided to clean up my wardrobe and believe it or not - I threw away clothes in the value of 2000€ which I hoarded in the last 3 years (it was mainly from H&M, Primark, Forever21). I decided to invest in high quality clothes and look for my own indivual style and so I found Kibbe. I get complimented how it fits my personality. I don't look like the typical girls around me without trying too hard if you know what I mean. No. 92698

>>92714Diane Kruger is my absolute favourite DC because she styles herself classy, edgy and sexy.
I would recommend a mix out of different materials.
For example: classy cotton pants and a see-through lace blouse with a sexy/edgy bustier underneath.
Velvet, leather and lace are really interesting materials for you which can spice up any outfit.
You can also bring edgyness to your outfit through breaking some rules for example holes in your jeans as long as you stay with an overall classic vibe.

Shakira has a fleshy/curvy body type and mainly soft facial features. But her bone structure isn't as delicate and round as a Romantic. It is more angular. She reminds me of Scarlett Johannson, so I would guess Shakira is also a Soft Natural

>>92768>>92771Classic is described as moderately tall - 5'5 to 5'7. But you have to keep in mind that nowadays girls are always getting taller and taller, 5'10 is no longer as super tall and abnormal as it used to be, meaning even if that description doesn't fit 100%, you could still be that type.
I immediately knew I was DC, because everything fit perfectly, only difference is that I'm actually 5'10.
(Maybe the same thing can be said about things like breast size, since now even young teens seem to always get bustier, because of hormones in meat etc…?)
No. 92797
>>92787damn that makes it all more complicated. i'm a different anon and i still think i'm probably a SD but the questions that threw me off the most are vertical line and hands/feet.
for vertical line, i'm 5'11 but people are usually shocked by this and i've been told a few times that they thought i would be short. my torso is long but i look more like a scaled up medium height girl rather than a lanky model. BUT maybe this effect is because my shoulders are really narrow and my "flesh" is soft rather than long and sinewy even when i get buff. it's hard to say how tall/long your bone structure looks aside from any other factors.
and for hands and feet mine are long and narrow but also small
for my height in terms of actual size. but they're still much bigger than a petite girl's.
No. 92808
>>92807You could also be a Soft Natural since we don't have a picture of your body we can only guess. I can't see from the answers if your bones are angular or your face is mainly soft. The more information, the better. You can compare both types SN and SD and see for yourself which fits you better.
The reason I don't think you are a SC is because you are not completely balanced with a soft undercurrent.
Here is the description for SN:
are “Soft Yang with a Yin undercurrent”. They are also halfway between “contrast” and “blended”. Like SDs they are basically angular in bone structure, although this is softened by a fleshy body type and full facial features.
No. 92814
Excuse my incurable autism but i think i figured out why the test/category system as it is doesn't work for males.
because the system is for women, it assumes a default with high yin, and yang features have more "weight."
What I mean by this is, it's expected that even high yang types like D or FN will have one or two yin features, because they're women. It takes more than a couple yin features to bump from D to SD.
On the other side of the spectrum, in order to be R you need to be all yin, even having one or two yang features takes you out of the pure R category and into another category like TR. In other words, you need all yin to qualify for R, but you don't need 100% yang to qualify for D or FN. That means that if men were to take this, a huge spectrum of men would wind up as D or FN, regardless of if they're 100% yang or if they have one or two yin features.
A system for men would need to be the opposite, assume a decent amount of yang and give yin more weight, because even a very feminine man likely has a couple yang features, but in order for a man to look 100% masculine he must be all yang.
This also explains why in the gencrit thread an anon wondered why a troon looked feminine as a guy but manly as a girl. If a man has one or two apparent yin features, like big round eyes or a slender build, he looks like a feminine man because feminine features have more weight for men. But if you put that same man in a dress and try to see him as a woman, you see a "woman" with mostly masculine features and only a few feminine ones.

You would never look like a tranny if you would wear girly clothes. Maybe strange but that's it. And being a specific type doesn't put you in a inescapable form. You can still wear girly clothes but in a way a Dramatic Classic would. This applies to everyone btw. You can wear what you want but add softness/edgyness/classiness.

Jennifer Hudson is a SD and Selma Hayek is a TR. TR is smaller, more delicate, sharper bones in the face and body and has shorter arms and legs. SD has longer arms and legs, muscular, the waist is moderate, facial bones are sharp.
This outfit is edgy. It looks better on Jennifer, because Selma needs something softer. Her whole styling is harsh with the severe high ponytail and it makes her older whereas Jennifer looks fresh and cute

>>92831>>92833awesome thanks so much! this makes me feel more certain that i am indeed an SD and not a TR.
kibbe typing actually makes me feel more comfortable and less insecure because as an SD i used to be frustrated because a lot of "girly" clothes looked silly and awkward on me, like i was a big woman into dddlg or something lmao, but a lot very masculine clothes made me look chubby and too covered up. now i know exactly where to choose yang things and where to put yin things and why. also my favorite go-to lbd that i bought years ago happens to be the quintessential SD dres: puffy square shoulders, draping and gathering, cinched waist but long vertical line, and lace details to soften the black. i feel clocked.
now i feel like i can do some "riskier" looks without worrying that i'm going to feel embarrassed as soon as i leave the house.

So, I think I'm Soft Classic? My only "A" is my big nose. I feel so jealous of the gamines! I would love to dress in a more butch/dapper style but it would look so silly on my shape.

>>92864 This method seems okay but for
>>92858 it isn't working since the diagram puts her onto the SC category and her result is too diverse and her description of her build doesn't fit SC at all. But since anon said that she has bdd I am a bit insecure.
>>92848 you have a lot of contrast overall and I would say you are a Gamin although Kibbe says Gamines are smaller than you. Bridget Bardot and Audrey Hepburn are 5'7 but they look smaller, petite. The diagram puts you between G, C and SG. You are high contrast, so no C but SG and G seems alright.
>>92855If you were DC then you would have fewer D and E answers. You are too soft to be a DC overall. I would like to know your bone and body structure. The diagram puts you into FG and SN category btw but I feel like you are a bit too balanced for FG.

I consider myself not "soft" looking at all but I do have average sized breast and hips and my waist is quite small. I think my shoulder are quite prominent part of my body.

Hope this helps!
No. 92891
>>92888Ok thx these answers are more detailed!
All body types can be underweight, normal or overweight but that don't change their bone structure.
Your bones are yang with wide shoulders, long limbs, athletic build overall but not too muscular. But you still have some curves although you are skinny. You are definitely a Natural, probably a SN. Being SN doesn't mean you are disproportionate but your features are a bit more angular than a Classic. Your E and D answers come from your curves and face (full lips, small head).

>>92913Your answers indicate that you are a Natural leaning towards Soft. I think it is your hips which make you a soft type. The description says you can have irregular facial contours and an angular bone structure which makes you possibly believe that you don't have much yin in you.
No. 92923
>>92920Your bone structure never changes due weight. But I get that it is hard to find out if you gained weight. Your shoulders are a good indicator for your structure since you never put on weight there. Some women have wide, broad, angular, round or sharp shoulders. Then look at your limbs which don't change their length after gaining or losing weight.
Also the size of your feet and hand don't change too much and your height stays the same.
Some women can lose a lot of weight but they still have muscles or curves. If they gain weight, they get really lush but with a defined waist line. This is the case for soft types usually. There are also women who gain a lot of weight but they remain straight in figure and gain weight in the waist area. If they lose weight, they look figure-wise like the typical model. This is the case for dryer/dramatic types.
No. 92926
>>92924Main essence is Yin, so you are overall a soft type. You have some balanced elements in you and a Yang undercurrent. How tall are you? What is your bone structure? Does your face have soft features? Are you muscular/fleshy? Slim waistline?
I don't trust the diagram which puts you into the TR category. SG is also possible and for SC you are too unbalanced
No. 92929
>>92926I’m 5’2

No. 92933
>>92931those answers match soft gamine, but if that seems really incorrect, check out the descriptions for TR and SN.
i find that in order to hone in on your type you have to do the test, AND, read yin/yang descriptions, AND a few videos comparing different types against each other. since we have slightly different perceptions of what is big/small/sharp/long etc, it can be confusing to use the test alone.
also, when you say face and body, there's a few more subcategories to consider
facial bone structure
body bone structure
body "flesh" and curves
facial features
for example, i'm soft dramatic, my facial bone structure is mostly A, body bone structure A, facial features (eyes lips) D, and body flesh D.
if you can differentiate which is which i can give you a better guess
No. 92952
>>92930I think she is a TR because she is very soft (lots of E and D answers) and she lacks some Yang (answer A) to be a SG but she has several B answers which are soft Yang. She is a little bit too dry for R type and too soft for SG type. Definitely leaning towards TR type. But since your results aren't conclusive you can experiment with the three types R, TR and SG and see which fits you best.
I looked this up:
>If your answers are dominant column E and/or column D, with several answers in column A as a secondary force: >Soft Yin with a slight Yang undercurrent - Theatrical Romantic Note: To qualify for this theme, your body type (flesh) and your facial features should be Yin-dominant while your bone structure should be slightly Yang-influenced.
>If your answers have nearly an equal mixture of opposite extremes from columns A and E, yet you also have several extra answers in column D: Combination of opposites, extra Yin - Soft Gamine
>Note: To qualify for this theme, your bone structure should be Yang- dominate while your body type (flesh) should be Yin-dominant. Your facial features should be extremely Yin-dominant. No. 92968

I'm confused about what I could be, since although soft classic seems to match my results I don't really identify with it (or any of these types, thanks to body image issues).
I'm a 5'8 with what I would probably call a broad build - hips and shoulders are larger than average and equally wide, ribcage is broader than average (yay eternally wide-set boobs), and there's a 10" difference between my waist and hips. Weight gain goes to hips, boobs, and waist, but not arms or legs, and even at very low weights I'm still broader than average and similarly proportioned. My hands and feet are kinda long.
I have a diamond face, largish deep-set eyes, and I'm often mistaken for being a teenager despite being 26. My lips are average, my cheeks are kinda chubby, and my nose is slightly aquiline.
I've felt burly and unfeminine my entire life so I'm hoping this will help me feel less like an impostor whenever I try to wear anything that isn't jeans and a tee.
Sorry if I typed too much!

>>92968I suspect SN although your answers are dominant C. Your description fits perfectly with the SN type because you are rather broad but soft and a soft face.
>SN is moderately Yang-dominant while your body type and facial features are be Yin-influenced. I thought about SC but you are too broad.
The diagram says SG which is BS since you need a high contrast and mostly A,D and E answers.

This topic seemed interesting because I've always struggled with feeling that something was always "off" with the outfits I wore. Its quite frustrating and I really hoped that this test would help to shed some light, but I'm still very much confused lol. I guess it is worth mentioning that my view of my face and body can be quite distorted and at times inconsistent. Even with the visual aids, I found it a bit challenging to pick out traits that were similar to my own. I was wondering if any anons could provide me with some insight as to where I might stand. I just want to wear nice clothes without looking so "wrong".

>Height: 174 cm/5'8"-5'9"ish~>Dress Size Range: US 2~4 or UK 6~8>"Classic" Body Type: Banana >"Classic" Face Shape: Diamond???My figure is usually described as being boyish (straight up and down, slightly toned, building muscle seems to require a little less effort??). I am slightly taller than average (if we take the North American average of 5'4" as a reference point) with a bone frame that leans toward the smaller end, but I'm not at all lanky. For the body portion of the test, there was an equal distribution between A and C responses. In short, I'm horizontally "boyish" (narrow and even "banana" proportions) but quite proportional when you look at the "vertical" ratios (ex: leg:torso).
My face is…weird? My results for that section (#10-15; #16 was for hair texture) came back as: 2 A's, 2 D's and 2 E's (so there is some blending???). I feel like my face shape reads as more androgynous (high and prominent zygomatic bone, slightly longer than wide face, slightly larger chin, thin lips) but a number of my features (large and roundish eyes, small mouth, rounded nose, tapered jaw) sort of "softens" things up and makes it more boyish rather than the all out "you could fucking cut diamonds with those cheekbones and that jawline" look that some may associate with androgyny.
If it helps, for anyone here who does cosplay, I tend to suit young male characters best. Generally speaking, I am too masculine for cute young female characters, not sexy enough (lack the proportions and features) for more mature and sexy female characters, and not "sharp" nor masculine enough for older male characters. I don't know if this point helps very much at all tbh.
I had to repost this to make corrections to the English and I apologize for such a long winded post.

>>92992Probably a SC because you are balanced with Yin influence. You lack a high contrast to be a SG. Your clothing choice should be soft, girly but still classy. Of course some styles that fit SG perfect is also suitable for you as a SC as long as it's not too girly. Classics are very versatile, be happy :)
No. 92997
>>92992You have a lot of C responses (which implies a more solid balance between "Yin" and "Yang") and many D's and E's (considered to be "Yin" qualities). If we were to go straight by these numbers, I would agree with
>>92996 and say you are "Soft Classic" (balanced with a notable "Yin" influence). Classics seem to be like the "Oval Face" shape of Kibbe's categories, in that because they are so balanced, they are more versatile than those whose type lean' toward either extreme. If you your answers had presented more contrast between "Yin" and "Yang" - for example, if you have a super "Yin" face, body composition, and weight distribution (a lot of D's and E's) to contrast against a more "Yang" bone structure - you may have potentially fallen under "Soft Gamine" but it is impossible to say.
No. 93000
>>92993Ok you figured out a lot by yourself already which is good.
The diagram puts you in between FG and SN. You are not FG because you don't have much contrast between Yin and Yang. Your dominant main essence is Yang (A), you're still balanced with a yin undercurrent. This description fits for SN, and SD. I feel like you could have too much drama to be a SN. I can't decide between these two. Maybe an anon can help?

>>93143I would also say SN. But you are definitely no Gamine of any sort because you have no extremes of yin and yang.
Remember that Gamines are not always small and petite. Bridget Batdot is 5'7 and curvy but she has a sharp bone structure. Romantics are also small and delicate but they are overall rounded. TR and SG are very near by and get often confused. SN can also be smallish like Emma Stone. At the first sight you could get her confused with a Gamine because she is cute, girly and rather small in size. But if you look closer you see that she has wider shoulders, her body is more yang but still soft at the same time. If you would put her in Gamine clothing and styling, she would look separate from herself. Emma looks best with natural soft hair, makeup and styling like a typical SN.

>>93186I really like your style, it has a goth/rock chick vibe to it! If you want to experiment with SC and really want to incorporate it to your style, I would look for softer materials like velvet to combine with your leather jacket. Also softer, more girly cuts for your shirts and dresses in general. Try to incorporate different colours which go well with black and would soften your look like jewel colours. No hard contrasts! I would leave your hair it is since it looks like a signature style and it looks somehow soft yet edgy.

>>93248This is Kibbe theory and there is no ethereal or ingenue bs and will never be. It's for snowflakes and cows who feel so special and above everyone else. You can't take the test without paying money nor read a coherent text. For all the people who want to know what I am talking about:
https://www.truth-is-beauty.com/9792-9792-ethereal-ingenue----the-fairy.htmlYou can have a special pretty face and be still a Dramatic, Classic or Natural or whatever. No category is more attractive than others, it is not about beauty! It's about lines and forms. Every type can be styled to look like they are out of this world. Models are nearly all FN or D and they are practically made to make dramatic over the top looks to look good. They are still people and without the proper styling they look just plain like other people.
Lily Cole is FN and no Ethereal Ingenue bs. She looks hideous with clothes this website recommends for this ~ethereal fairy queen type kek but she looks great with FN styling.

>>93254But why did you ask if you were ethereal? Ethereals are apparently from out of this world. Attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder and as I said before:there are pretty and not so pretty examples in every category. SNs are a irregular type, which means that weight is not evenly distributed. They can be underweight, normal and overweight. You probably don't weight much and therefore you might feel you have less curves than other SNs. And sexiness is a feeling and not exclusive to a type. Every type can be sexy when styled right.
I have a tip: ask a friend or your family to take the test for you. You stand there, say nothing to them. Other people are far more objective!

>>93250No… sadly I don't weigh very little and I still don't have the curves of a SN. Like I said

I feel more like a FN in that regard but I'm not tall enough, the only softness I have is in my face, not really my body (small hands and feet aren't exactly gamechanging yin. I asked about Ethereals because my face isn't sexy or natural, it looks 'dreamy and autistic' according to other people, not like a normal human. In SN clothes I look even more autistic because it's so lazy, it makes me look like a small sick child or something.
I don't know anyone who would want to take the test for me sadly, but thank you for suggesting.

>>93320No. Natural are broader in bone structure and have broader shoulders plus muscles. Dramatics are slim in bone structure but they have broad shoulders and gain no muscles because they are are often ectomorph.

>>93320did that happen for you? because it's not true in my experience. i used to bodybuild and even at my most buff it was still obvious i had very narrow shoulders, at a skeletal level, even though i had delts. even the muscle texture looked different from yang muscle type. it was never long and sinewy and dry, looked more like a buff version of the "soft flesh" aly art talks about. so i still would've gotten the same type.
here's an example, the two women in the middle have a similar amount of muscle, but the one on the left clearly has wider shoulders. differences in body length, hand size, shape of hips, facial composition etc are also going to be unaffected.
the only way it could effect your type is if you get so super shredded that curves you normally have disappear, so then you would just think of how you look at a more typical bodyfat.

>>93329i tried plugging in a few men and it doesn't work. they all end up D or FN, even the "feminine" ones. I explained why here
>>92814the test would have to be inverted and remade for it to work for men.
instead of high estrogen yin on the left and neutral yang on the right, it would have to be high testosterone yang features on the left and more neutral features for yin. Does that make sense?
Yin and yang translate completely differently for the sexes because of hormones among other things. Yin features for men does not mean big boobs and an hourglass figure and yang for women does not mean a tree trunk neck and a caveman brow. There's some overlap of course but the test would need to be designed with men and testosterone features in mind, just like kibbe is based around women and estrogen heavy features.

Since it's hard for some people to figure out which type they are and the Kibbe score diagram
>>92864 is sometimes off, I decided to google some other methods to determine your body type more precisely.
You look at your results and devide them into Yin, Yang and balanced.
A and B are Yang
C is balanced
D and E are Yin
We take
>>93839 as an example:
A = 3
B = 2
C = 4
D = 6
E = 1
Yang=5 (A+B)
Balanced=4 (C)
Yin=7 (D+E)
Now we arrange them from the highest to the lowest points:
Yin=7
Yang=5
Balance=4
This means Yin, which has the highest number (7 points), is the dominant influence. Yang is in the second place (5 points), followed by Balance (4 points)
So because Yin is her main influence, we can clearly say she is somewhere on the right side of this diagram.
Now we look at Yang. Between Yin (7 points) and Yang (5 points) is only a difference of 2 points, which puts her slightly next to the center. If the points were equally large for example, then she would be exactly on the center of this diagram.
Now we look at her Balance (4 points) which determines her energy. She has a moderate to high energy which puts her between G and TR. Since we found out that her main essence is Yin, we can be sure she is a TR.

I can't figure out what this means, and Aly didn't mention anything like me in her video.
I'm tallish (173cm but usually mistaken for shorter) with broad shoulders, wide hips (~0.72 WHR regardless of weight), long legs, long hands (19.5cm), big feet (US 11), a small but soft waist, average boobs (usually a D cup regardless of weight), and a rounded diamond face with a round nose, slightly full lips, soft cheeks, and roundish almond eyes. I gain weight pretty evenly, I always look slightly soft no matter how much weight I lose, and when I eat healthily my BMI sits around 22.5 (it's currently down to 19 due to an illness, and I look super weird). My hair is soft and slightly wavy (2a), and although the strands themselves are fine, I have a lot of them, so it looks fairly thick.
I'm not soft enough to be a romantic, but I'm too soft to be any of the others. Maybe I'll try again when I've gained my weight back - I really need a new wardrobe.

Not sure how to interpret this. I have a square face, but big eyes, prominent aquiline round nose, and small round lips. I have square shoulders, broader than my hips, but I'm still built like a pear (while simultaneously having little to no waist because I have a short torso). I have a weird body type. My arms are long and thin, my finger tips reach past my thighs. Thighs are wide, and calves are muscular.

Q:
I got soft gamine, and I kind of fit the bill facially and height wise, but I have a body shape that's kinda tricky to dress. My bmi is 19 and I look okay just in my underwear, but in heels I look chunky, boyish and wide on top with really tiny feet and in a lot of clothing cinched at the waist I end up looking kinda tubby, skinny jeans make me look like a tired mom who's given up. My body shape is more or less banana with b cups and straight hips but my widest part is my thighs which makes wearing flats look weird.
Any ideas on how to dress? When I wear things that aren't teenager clothes or loose and casual, and when I want to look grown up, I always look like a tubby auntie instead.

I'm wondering if I messed up by thinking about different features in too isolated of a way, instead of comparing them to each other, but I really struggle to think about my body in an objective way.
I'm 5'8" but I look a little bit shorter, and although I have broad shoulders and ribs I also have wide hips, so I guess it could balance out? I'm a bit pear shaped (my top half is a dress size smaller than my bottom half) but I look pretty balanced overall. I have wide, fleshy cheekbones (think Kirsten Dunst but with a narrower jaw), average lips, an average nose, and slightly upturned, roundish eyes. Something about the way I look makes me look like a teenager despite being in my late twenties, but I think it's just how rounded my face is. The A score was for my hands and feet so I don't know how relevant it is in the grand scheme of things.
Am I overthinking things because I hate my body? Maybe. Am I going to overthink my overthinking? Also maybe…

I always wondered why Aly Art considers herself a Soft Gamine. Maybe I'm blind but I think a natural styling with tousled long hair and a shirt plus jeans fit her very well and make her look more youthful whereas gamine styling looks off and makes her look older.

I'm pretty sure Aly Art isn't by far as knowledgeable in Kibbe as she makes it seems. A lot of what she says in her video's can be traced back word for word to a website/forum thread on Kibbe. I came across it a while ago while doing more research on Kibbe.

Aly has a cute face but Gamine hair brings out her harsh features which weren't apparent when she had long tousled hair. Unfortunately a lot of women with cute faces get their hair cut short because hair stylists think that they all will look like Mia Farrow or Audrey Tautou who are Gamines in fact. Then they end up looking like Scarlett Johansson.

If those beautiful women get older (or styled ugly), it's apparent that they are not Ingenue or Ethereal but any other generic type and they are just styled properly and are very pretty. Good looking people tend to look better than others, so here's that. Plus she only shows them in gowns on the red carpet. Sure they look fabulous and elven-like but so do Romantics, Gamines, Naturals, Classics and Dramatics when styled properly. She never shows street style examples because literally everyone would look ridiculous and try hard with uwu-Ethereal-Ingenue clothes which are actually intended to wear at a special occasions.

So I took a quiz to figure out my type and I got classic. However I definitely feel like my features depart from that greatly and that I might be either a gamine (or one of the subtypes) or a soft natural–wich are on two different ends.
I've been told that I look similar to Audrey Tatou when it comes to facial features (and commonly classified as a flamboyant gamine). Have all of the exaggerated facial features that fall into the celebrity examples I have seen. Still I feel like I lack the boyish/stick frame that most gamines would fall into, and have more broad shoulders and bigger and and feet like a natural type might. However my face doesn't really look similar to most natural types (except maybe Selena Gomez). Honestly think I'm doing something wrong here.

Even if you are the curviest /sexiest woman on earth (not saying Kim is the sexiest but this is how media portraits her), you can look broad and manly in the wrong lines (except you wanted to achieve this on purpose for whatever reason).

>>121674I think it's quite funny that Ellysas, Ally and Merriam typed themselves as Soft Gamines but no-one really fits the type. They act like experts but can't get their own type right.
Ally could be a Gamine but she looks like an old Lady with Gamine clothes. She looks fabulous in a shirt, jeans and a natural styling. Merriam is delusional because she can't get Kibbe facts straight and takes money from people to type them. She has a typical natural face which is nowhere near Gamine. Even if her body was Gamine, she would be probably a Flamboyant Gamine. She is nowhere near soft. And Elyssas is delusional about her type too. She's so cute and petite kek. She lacks sharpness in her skeleton plus she looks bad in Gamine clothes/styling. She looks like a grown woman who wants to be a teenager again. They all look horrible and I wouldn't take any fashion advice from them, although they have good and informative videos from time to time.

>>121711Agree, Merriam looks so pretty with long hair and more natural type styling. Soft gamine looks odd on her. She looks more like a dramatic classic to me.
The kibbe system itself makes a lot of sense, problem is that the test isn’t specific or clear enough.

>>121787Gamine is a just a mixture of opposites. Yin (feminine D and E) and yang (masculine A and B) characteristics. It really has nothing to do with looking young or feminine. No body type is cuter or prettier than any other, they’re just a collection of lines for you to work with.
Aly Art often says that gamines look like “teenage girls” or “little girls”. Disagree. You can be any type and look youthful (Miranda Kerr is flamboyant natural and she looks very young imo).
No. 121801
>>121800Aly is kinda full of shit half the time tbh.
However the "vibe" of a gamine is defined as animated and boyish, so it's definitely a youthful type. Not cuter or prettier than other types as you said, but the proportions (large head compared to body, making you look petite regardless of height) make the silhouette read young. Miranda Kerr has a very youthful face but if you saw her body with the face blurred you wouldn't have any doubts that she's a grown woman. A gamine can often be mistaken for a much younger person due to the proportions. Unless your face and body are extremely different types, I'd probably just dress for my body type rather than muddy the waters with my face.
I do agree the opposites thing is the most important part of the type, though.

She also hides her real features on her videos for example showing only the front of her face. I had to see through 8 videos until she showed her profile finally. She also creates a rounder outline for her thin lips to fit the Soft Gamine type better. She does have many yang features and I don't know why she sees herself as a soft type. She could be a Flamboyant Gamine. This type needs drama and Aly looks really great with wild long tousled hair and clothes a la Gwen Stefani who is a Flamboyant Gamine too. FG are very diverse and don't need to look necessarily young/cute/boyish.

>>121780>I'm a dramatic classic and my kibbe choices are basically blouses and trenchcoats in the white, grey or black - and of course nobody wants that shit, so they lie to themselves.I don't know which video it was but Classics tend to be more flexible than any other type since they are balanced. You can borrow certain elements from other types and it would look fabulous. Also dramatic and classical elements are in your DNA, so whatever you wear, you will never look cheap and boring.

Aly, I can see why she sees herself as gamine, but not SG. All types are going to look like "grandmas" eventually anyway but I think she's riding the gamine thing too hard. She looks ridiculous in all the bold eyeglasses in her videos recently. I agree she looks more herself in longer, "natural" hair and I think her features are too moderate/average to be gamine.

>That's because everybody (including farmers) wants to be an uwu cute gamine. Some women struggle to grow up and live in a bubble where they are still young and cute. Yes, you are probably young and cute but not like a teenager anymore. More like a young woman with curves and edges and lots of character.
Quite honestly I don't mind if they all want to be Soft Gamines because reasonable women will look even better next to them. They can have all the pink frilly uwu kawaii dresses on this world but they will look like huge babies or like trannies.

Some tips about determining your type until I get around to posting some exercises DK posted on FB:
-height is a factor. If you're over 5'7", you must be a D or N, but if you are short you can be any type.
-clothing has no type. Anyone can wear anything if it's styled correctly
-R is always soft and fleshy unless underweight. They have very small bones. Think Marilyn Monroe
-TR is R with added narrowness/sharpness. They will never ever have wide shoulders and may or may not be curvy. Think Vivien Leigh.
-SG has both more sharpness and more roundness than TR. It is slightly broader than TR. Bette Davis is the iconic SG.
-SN is the widest boned of the yin types. She may have a stereotypically gamine personality and can express that, but she should still stick to SN lines.
-all of those types above are petite with some natural curves and softness. no exceptions.
-a cohesive outfit always looks better than a boring one, regardless of whether it fits your "type". Because of this, it's easy to trick yourself into believing you are something you're not.
>>121892I used to delude myself into thinking I was a kawaii uwu SG too, lol. I look so much nicer now that I've embraced my actual type and coloring. I used to look like a gawky teenager but now I literally turn heads walking down the street.
>>121891This is true. For an example of how SC can dress casually, I love Grace Kelly. Kibbe calls her the quintessential classic and she looks gorgeous in casual clothes.

What's interesting is, according to this chart there's no type for a yang face, yin flesh, and yang bones. Likewise, no way to have a balanced face but yin flesh. etc etc.
I think people that don't fit any types don't fit them because of this?
No. 121938

>>121958I might be off base here but I got curious and checked the test with your results. 5'10 is quite tall for a Classic and the logic of C answers that "x if proportional to the rest of my body" means that it's appropriately big for 5'10. By your description I imagine you as tall but with more waist definition. Might be worth a shot to check out Soft Dramatic even if it goes against the answers.
It really depends whether height matters or not for Kibbe types. Different people claim different things.
No. 121966
>>121961I'm tall, but I don't have a lot of things the average tall woman has (I mean that I have a different body type than the average model): my legs aren't very long, just average for my height, I have big feet and hands, but they also don't look as long and spindly as many other tall women's.
I probably have wider hips (around as wide as my shoulders), my waist is my thinnest point, my chest is medium, but on the other hand I'm also naturally a bit on the more muscular side and my facial features are a bit too strong. I wouldn't really see myself as soft…?

>Because of my fat distribution my flesh feels very different in my upper and lower body, so all flesh questions have either no answer or are all over the place.There is just one question of your overall body shape and the other questions are more specific. I would leave this question out and at the end of the test I would estimate the significance of this particular answer. You can post your answers here and we'll take a look.

Gamine family elements
>cuffed at the wrists>high neckline>waist definition>heavy print on contrasting flowing fabricD/N
>long unbroken silhouette >no color blocks>loose tailoring Which part of the dress do you think flatters you? Its long lines and relaxed fabric or that it frames you with the waist emphasis, buttons and cuffs? If it's the first I would say Soft Natural, if it's the second I would say Soft Gamine.
No. 124291
>>124289I think Dramatic Classics can have some A answers in their skeleton, as long as Cs are still in the majority.
You're a gamine if you have extremes of yin and yang, with few or no C answers. If your skeleton and flesh are all mixed and C answers are not in the majority, you can't be a classic.
I'd recommend trying on clothing recommendations, since DC and FG lines are pretty different.

She looks great in Soft Natural styling and clothes but since she botched herself, nothing really looks right on her anymore.

Now her face is mostly yang. There is no softness except for the eyes which are big but this doesn't qualify her for the Gamine category. Her face is Dramatic imo.
If I look at the two pictures on the right, then imo she looks better with the blazer which gives her more yang and sharpness. She looks like a grandmother with soft clothes.
Imo she's probably a Dramatic Classic although her face isn't so balanced. I can't imagine her wearing clothes a la Cate Blanchett or Tilda Swinton. Maybe she should try pure Dramatic lines though because she looks kind of boring and frumpy.

Tbh, Kibbe for me is better when I think of the 5 basic types, the inbetween ones difficult it all, specially when you first hear of it.
So my tip is to first analyze what you're not according to the descriptions of the main types.

>>124874So you probably have like 3C and 3D and 3E (6D/E) - 7A which isn't really qualifying a a Gamine indeed. SD is the right choice for sure.
>>124875Height is relative for Kibbe. There are for examples Gamines who are 5'7 (Audrey Hepburn, Bridget Bardot, both are Kibbe confirmed) and taller 5'10 (Zendaya) although Kibbe states that Gamines can't be 5'6 and taller. Women are getting taller and taller plus it's more about the vertical line. We should ask anon
>>124805 how tall she appears. Do people think she's smaller or taller than her actual height?
No. 124882
>>124881> Women are getting tallermeaning women are getting more yang dominant
Height in kibbe is relative to some extent, but that doesn't mean that someone who's significantly taller or shorter than X type (Like Zendaya) can still be that type.
No. 124892
>>124891> Why would someone choose deliberately to be small?i almost trooned out because of my body. i hate standing out. i don't wanna be the tall sexy woman, especially as a software engineer. my looks don't match my personality at all. i wouldn't mind being just tall honestly, i just don't wanna be tall and sexy.

Soft Gamine here, i think the wannabe gamine-ism is so funny, because i always wanted to be a dramatic or classic, if i could i would look just like kaya scodelario.
Gamines most of the time will look childish and dweeby, its hard to actually look nice.
Even hard to pull off chic or edgy styles without looking like a teen.
No. 124899
>>124881Kibbe has said elsewhere that he thinks all celebrities exagerate their height. So in his opinion if a celeb says she's 5'7 she's probably about 5'5.
>>124874If you don't identify with SD you could check out FN (since a lot of people confuse bluntness with softness, I've heard of FNs thinking they're more yin than they are) or FG again (since a lot of people have a really inaccurate idea of FG and just go super twee)

>>124872I … think so? I was at like 110 lbs in high school and I seem to have the type of body type that never gains weight in the torso and never loses it in the limbs. even at that weight my thighs still touched and my arms were still chubby… does that count as flesh then?
>>124881I put my vertical line as B, nobody has ever accused me of looking shorter than I am lol.
No. 124955
>>124914I'm pretty sure flesh isn't about where or how much you do(n't) gain weight, but how tight ('taut') the skin's around the bones. Check the thread's image, the skin of the women on the left (yin) is very full, not at all tight, the bones don't show up underneath the skin. The more it progresses to the right (yang) the more tight the skin sits around the bones; cheekbones, jawline, nose, muscles around the mouth become more pronounced, you can visibly see them sit underneath the skin.
If I'm wrong, by all means correct me, but this is how I understand what kibbe means by flesh

What that anon says sounds about right. I find myself having to balance mature styles with cute elements, but if I go too far one way I look either too old or too young lmao.
For example I like wearing cuter shoes like oxfords instead of heels. Or I buy dress pants and skirts with button embellishments. Or just something like a peter pan collar on a blouse, or one small bow on some flats.

I'm a dramatic classic.
I like edgier type of clothing and look very well in gamine-esque type clothing as long as it is clean cut. The more makeup I put on, the shittier I look. Too much jewelry or big pieces definitely look wierd on me. I look more put together with hair that is cleaned up or somewhat elegant styles or simple pretty styles.
Pretty much, imo, as long as it looks clean cut (less is more or simplified is more most of the time) I'm good.
In the end, I'm just a subtype of classic so as long as I don't stray from that I'm pretty okay.
Before I took the test I thought I'd be a flamboyant gamine for sure if not a soft gamine. It has made me realize I look more…"refined" or like a little lady or some kind of adult child compared to gamine. I dress how I want though.
If anybody cares and wants, I can post a collage of some outfits that work and don't work for me.

>>125876For sure.
I mainly wanted to know my Kibbe thing so I can experiment more. It's fun figuring why certain things work or not. I hope everyone just has fun and doesn't take this stuff toooo seriously or becomes frustrated.
Obviously, I don't take it serious where I'm matching all the office clothing under dramatic classic on pinterest. That's just not for me.
I like dressing up and am always experimenting and open to suggestions. Even though my makeup is better on the simple side, I still play with that too.
These are just some clearer photos of this spring/summer where you can see most of the outfits. I desaturated and spoilered the collage just to help keep it on the down low. I'll kind of run through them with my opinion (left-right, top-bottom):
1. It's hard to see, but it's a collared dress in a sheer material. The collar is sharp with some very small studs. The top part looks great on me and helps make my face look nice. If the fabric was heavier and more fitted, it would work better. No loud shoes or socks. Overall a pass.
2. The stripes of the top clash with me and the velvet and mesh material is too soft for me. The neckline is the saving grace. If the outfit gets louder, it won't work. Only extremely simple accessories work and clean, simple makeup.
3. I can pass in this type of gamine dress, but the print doesn't particularly do much for me. The collar is round and would look better if sharp (but round Peter Pan collars are my weakness). Again, I can't let this get louder as the print is already enough as are the rounded sleeves. Would be better tailored.
4-5. Simple and sweet with more solid material that hugs my body without being overly sensual really works. Like this, I can add makeup or accessories that don't surpass my essence, but can be a little more bold.
6. The skirt's line is too long for me. It is too loud. The simple cut works. The top is fitted, the collar is higher, the material is solid. This top always works for me dressed up or down. The heaviness of the fabric in this outfit supports my bone structure.
7. Too yin for my yang. The heaviness of the fabrics and simplicity saves me.
8. It is simple and clean. I like to wear a bra that has bows that peak out through the straps of this top. That is already too much if not enough on top. The material is heavy and supports my bone structure. The shoes are patent leather, pretty loud.
9. I'm wearing a collared shirt under the sweater. I think it is a gamine/classic look. I pass well with this look. The skirt print is pretty animated. I can't let this get louder. For example, no printed stockings would work for me with this or flamboyant jewelry. It would have to be very subtle.
10-12. Doesn't work for me. 10 is too flowy, unconstructed, loud, and long. Its so bad jfc. 11 I can get away with by trying to give the illusion of tailoring with folds and tucks, but its too much. I still wear this outfit though because I enjoy it. 12 suddenly makes my yang show in a not so flattering way so I'm very careful with this dress and what I add on. I like it, but it isn't my best look either.
13. I can pass with the neckline, the simplicity, and yang-supporting heaviness of the fabric, but it is too unconstructed for me to positively stand out.
14. I can get away with the same as I can with 11, but moreso because it is much more toned down and simple. Very casual and decent. My makeup can be clean and bolder.
15. Doesn't quite work. The thigh high socks with that skirt seem too much. Shorter socks would be better next time. Also, that shirt is actually not fitted and kind of kills the look too.
So yeah, no trenchcoat in my closet. Just nice, plain coats. I don't own a pencil skirt either.
Can anybody help with more dramatic classic hair by the way-like very long styles? I've just been looking at Demi Moore (she seems like an older, more yangy me).

>>92825sorry for reviving a dead post put omg, I'm a dramatic classic and "cute & romantic" was my worst fashion phase. I never understood why I looked so… weird. this comparison sums it up perfectly.
the test only confirmed what I knew about myself and my own wardrobe. thankfully, I learned very early to ask "would I like this on
me" instead of "do I like this" and/or "do I like person x's look".
the fact that the test pretty much confirmed what I learned by carefully observing how fashion works for different people shows that it's pretty useful for people who don't have the right eye or don't want to invest a lot of time into figuring out aesthetics.

>>125908Not sure if it's confirmed, but D is basically a "sharper" yin. Kind of like B is a "soft" yang. Nonetheless, it's not really its own category. D answers are usually Theatrical Romantic elements.
>>125912You also sound like a Soft Natural to me, if your description is accurate! TRs won't have many B answers (since they have a Dramatic undercurrent, not a Natural), and on both tests you had quite a few.
If you are unsure, maybe try this: put your hair into a romantic hairstyle or try on romantic jewelry like on the images on the left (make sure everything is small, rounded and neat)
vs
Soft natural hair and jewelry like on the right (more tousled, chunkier but still soft and slightly rounded).
Romantic lines will bring out your blunt angles if you're SN, and it'll be a bit too delicate for you. SN lines on a R are slightly overpowering.

I need help figuring out my type anons, I've done the quiz several times and it's always D-dominant with a mixture of other random things.
A - 2 (lip shape is on the thinner side, but very small and not straight, so this could be a C, and my hipline is straight and narrow with violin hips, but my thighs are big and my widest point so I didn't know what to put)
B - 2 (wide bustline/not overly full, strongly textured hair)
c - 3 (moderate length of limbs, symmetrical/even shoulders, moderate waistline)
d - 6 (look slightly smallish, delicate hands, delicate hourglass, soft and slightly chubby flesh on my thighs and upper arms, slightly rounded cheekbones, soft and fleshy cheeks)
e - 3 (rounded, delicate jawline, rounded/softly wide nose, very round and large eyes)

>>125990Thanks anon! I was having trouble deciding on soft classic, theatrical romantic and soft gamine but I felt like soft gamine was always a bit too twee with too many random details and TR didn't match my overall appearance (I don't give off a "sexy" vibe at all and am not very voluptuous), too much detail and frills made me look like a fruitcake even on my own wedding, so SC is a possibility.
I also wear glasses and have shoulder-length hair, and one issue I have is that they always make me look kind of busy and frumpy. My hair is also naturally unruly and frizzes up easily which looks bad. That means I'm probably SC, no ?
Also one more question - are there any easy hairdos I could do for a SC? It feels like a death sentence because I'm naturally clumsy and frumpy and really don't know how to groom myself or pick jewellery so it makes sense that I never look good…

I think Kate Middleton often wears great SC hairstyles, they're simple and neat. As for jewelry - make sure it's not too fussy, Classics look their best when their accessories are understated and not super chunky or delicate.

And Madonna is definetely a Romantic because her features are very rounded, small and soft. You can see this especially when she was younger. Nowadays she's too muscular, too thin and she butched her face with plastic surgery. Her face looks harsh indeed and it doesn't suit her at all.

I noticed something very interesting lately: mostly Naturals tend to go under the knife to achieve a Romantic body type. Of course other types do it too but if I look at botched plastic surgeries, the amount of women who are SN,N,FN is overwhelming like Kim Kardashian, Mia Khalifa, Iggy Azalea, Katy Price, Kylie Jenner… There's also this Youtuber I forgot about and damn she looks busted with her 24 years.

Ariana looks best with long and natural/soft looking hair colors (balayage etcetera. She also has close set eyes which a lot TRs have. With all that plastic surgery she's pushing herself more into the SG category for sure.

>>127021>>127029I believe it's because these women have a preference for turbo-sexual looks that clash with Natural body types. Naturals have their own charm but it comes alive in relaxed lines that are most commonly used in casual and more modest styles.
Meanwhile these girls want the Fashion Nova look of skintight skimpy outfits, tons of makeup and intricate hair. Naturals look awkward in those styles because of their blunt bones and might even sometimes look like men in drag due to their wider shoulders. So they opt for fillers and surgery to try and achieve a body that compliments the styling they want.
Vogue knows what they're doing imo and they always style Kim very nicely. She looks really beautiful in their photos and you can't even see her corrections. But we know Kim will never choose to dress this way. She likes chic, glam and slickness.

>>128216Kibbe's taste is shit indeed, like he's stuck in the 80's. But keep in mind that it's all about the lines. His theory is legit and I have to say it helped me a lot. You can have any style you want but you have to consider that certain cuts and lines don't flatter you. For example you can be a Dramatic Classic but you could dress in a cute way and it would look great if the lines fit you. You can a Romantic and dress in a cool, edgy way but you have to consider the right lines again.

I can't figure this out. I'm not going to post my test results here because I have tried the test so many times and the results are always so different there's no point in mentioning them so I'm just going to describe my case. I'm 5' 3" and really slim, I don't gain weight easily and people often think I'm younger than I actually am, I always have trouble finding clothes that suit me, everything is too big or baggy, I need to look for really petite clothes and shopping is hard, especially because I have an hourglass figure and my thighs and butt area are thicker than the rest of my body, so I'm kind of disproportionate on that regard. My arms, hands and ankles are kinda long and frail, I'm a chestlet and my shoulders are sharp and broad, my eyes are small and almond-shaped, my facial features are pretty androgynous except for my lips and nose, this is the main reason I look like shit on heavy makeup because my facial features are way too sharp, my head is smaller compared to my shoulders and my bone structure is sharp.

Ethereal and Ingenue being said as "special snowflake" classifications doesn't make much sense to me because it seems like this is more of your issue with your fear of women using this against other women to humblebrag. I don't understand with Kibbe, that face type is taken in account with body types, and that Gamine somehow is appropriate yet Ingenue doesn't exist. Gamine refers to a boyish and impish quality, so why would it describe all women with youthful characteristics? There are some women who look youthful but girly at the same time, instead of boyish. I guess the argument could be made that teenage girls look Gamine, but many of them fit into the Ingenue category as well. How is that adult females who used to be girlish at a point in our lives, the classification doesn't exist yet somehow the classification of boyishness can exist throughout our lives?
Ethereal to me is just someone who's face looks like its drifting off and creates a "fairy" look.

Someone please could be so kind to explain why Alyart defines Gamines as being "equal from shoulders to hips" (a rectangle shape) and "equally proportioned everywhere"? isn't that literally classic? why there would be two types basically representing the same proportions? I thought Gamines were a random mix of ying and yang and that is why they usually look somewhat strange (like Tina Turner and her super legs with non-existent torso), but every time Alyart shows her rectangle-like body as a "sample" of Gamine I cannot help but see a boring shape with nothing going on, neither Yin nor Yang, what's up? Not even mentioning her pinterest board for FG/SG literally consists mostly of classic models wearing the typical korean-like classic clothes that you get in the instagram feed: many classical suits and simple sets, a lot of physical balance, there is nothing proportionally "abnormal". Gamines are allegedly a very strange body type in the population, yet all of this clothing seems like the type any normie could wear. Aly, "*~Colorful and quirky~*" classical clothes are still classical clothes, it's all about the lines and those lines are proportionated aka classic.

The only valid Ingenues are babies, they're very small, rounded and cute, they're the most femenine human form and that's why "ingenue" clothes, like frills and soft fabrics fit them so much: they literaly have no shape, they're just a blob.

>>137338I mean "femenine" in the sense of roundness/softness, women are generally the softest human form of course but babies are totally and absolutely rounded with no yang at all (sharpness/height/width, even Romantics have more yang compared to them since they're adults). Ingenue it's a meme and no adult can pull it off without looking laughable at best and
very questionable at worst, babies/kids are the extreme opposite of yang features, being the ones "ingenue" clothes are actually designed for, not some weird womanchild who wants to be an uwu little loli. Sorry for my autism tho.

I don't insist on you being an FG of course. Alternatively you can be Dramatic classic, I think. I guess it's easier to figure out by thinking on what type of clothes, prints, accessories etc. suit you the best instead of focusing solely on body type.

I guess my other potential body type would be some gamine since my head is pretty large, but small patterns seem pretty horrid on me. 5'5", measurements are 35-25-37 with 29.5-ish inseam.

>>144280what does the skin and hair of the women in the examples have to do with anything though? It's about the shape of their bodies and the clothes they wear on it.
You need to look past the styles or trends you see in the example pictures and just take the requirements of what your garments "should" be for your type and apply it to your clothes.
Let's say you're a FN and you now think you can only wear boho. But that's not true. Instead of staring at boho FN moodboards you can simply take FN requirements for clothing (long vertical line, unconstructed, relaxed, oversized details etc.) and apply it to any piece of clothing. Does this piece of clothing create a long vertical line, is it relaxed and unconstruced?
See I don't get questions like this
>>143584 for example. An SG blouse should have (among other things) small, feminine details and a high neckline. Surely you can look at this blouse and see that it has small, feminine details and a high neckline, therefore well-suited for a soft gamine. (And similiarly not for FN)
Stop staring at shitty pinterest boards. You're not limited to whatever style some random user who might or might now understand kibbe well has pinned to their board.
Remember that kibbe is not about the styles you see on example pictures, it's about the lines of the clothes.

I don't think Im bothered to tousle my hair everyday, nor do I think I look good with short hair (I used to have short hair 3 or 4 years ago without bangs and I don't think I look particularly nice with it). What are some alternative hair styles for SGs with very thick hair with curls near the end? Can I keep my hair slightly past collarbone length but tie some of my hair up?

How can I style this tunic in a way that suits a SG. I bought it because of it’s very animated and feminine detail, however, I’ve been having trouble styling it since the hem reaches my crotch area, so it’s too short to be worn as a dress (so it has to be worn with trousers) but too long to be worn as a shirt and it gives me no waist emphasis, as a result, I look rather fat if I tuck it in or leave it untucked. What ways can I style this to make this tunic work? Should I have it altered so that it’s shorter?

>>148006Yes I'm FN aswell! Imo FN is easy for casual looks (I wouldn't even know where to start with a businesslook). For example a casual loose summer dress, especially in cotton or other slightly heavier fabrics is great. Or mom jeans with a relaxed open blouse, or in the winter with a chunky sweater and a long coat and a long scarf. A lot of what's in fashion right now fits natural types really well. Just avoid those really frilly dresses and tops with tiny prints. I think pic related is pretty good too: chunky, textured sweater with a big turtle neck. The pants aren't tight. sharp or very tailored but more relaxed aswell. Fabrics are natural. No sharp lines in the sneakers. The belt could technically be bigger for FN standards I guess. I'm no expert though!

>>147122Part two of Tiffany's series on kibbe, the four youtubers and her got typed by cozyrebekah and discuss how they feel about their results and the system as a whole. Ash Tanya and Daily Larisa (the Black and mixed race yters) really liked it, vs. Tiffany and the other two yters who thought it was like a fun buzzfeed quiz but wouldn't change how they dress. The system being developed by a man was a criticism from them.
The episode also talks a bit about body positivity vs. neutrality which was a good addition too. Acceptance is more realistic than positivity for women who struggle with body image.

Should I dye my hair and eyebrows a similar colour oto my skin? I'm a SG and I've always found myself constantly trying to play down the roundness of my face because I don't think it looks since, such as by wearing rectangular glasses with slightly rounded edges and keeping my hair at shoulder length, since I feel like short hair will make my face too rounded as well as my hair being a dry, frizzy mess kek
I want to lessen the contrast between my skin and hair.I'm either a +1 or +2 in terms of contrast, as my skin is olive, with my hair and eyes being very,very dark brown to the point of looking borderline black. Aly talked about women with ying, rounded faces being able to pull off having hair that is a similar colour as the skin in vid related, but I was wondering whether or not a SG would have the roundness to pull it off, since my eyes are moderately sized, lips are slightly small to average and my nose is a bit wide, and is sorta like the next pic, but aside from that, my face is pretty round and fleshy

Is it possible that I may have mistyped myself as soft gamine? I'm 5'1 and sorta assumed I was a soft gamine since I got SC on the test, I do match the description of SG to an extent (since I have fairly round features, though that may be confirmation bias since I lack the curves or hourglass figure associated with SG) and I look quite skinny fat even when almost underweight.

>>151190Some of the recommendations, imo, are for women over a certain age, often with children- kibbe said himself that young women are meant to experiment and have fun. You see stuff about FN and D having to wear long lines– but a 20 yo model will look great in a miniskirt, no doubts about it.
Once you get really into the system, it's easy to think you're meant to follow it religiously, but … it's just a theory among hundreds. There's lots of ways to look great, especially if your body is fit. Plus the personalities associated to literal body types are a bit retarded, but he had to give it a special twist.

Right picture is just to better show how my torso and leg length are. I'm 5'5, 130 lbs, I have super short stumpy legs and crazy huge hips/thighs that narrow into skinny calves. I have a super long torso, with a small waist and really wide shoulders. My whole upperhalf is super thin to a weird degree and I have extremely prominent collar bones and rib cage even at heavier weights. All of my weight is on my thighs and butt, no where else except a tiny bit on my upper arms. My face is very round/fleshy/chubby looking even at lower weights. I feel like Ive never seen someone with my freaky long, slim torso short fat midget leg combo body type and I just want to label myself so badly. I pretty much strictly wear high waisted skirts to balance out my weird otter torso.

I look like a TiM if I wear anything remotely feminine (found that out when I tried to dress more feminine, noped out of that real quick), but in masculine clothing styles I look right imo, but a bit on the soft side. It seems to enhance any "yin" elements I have. I look really good with short hair and very off and boring with long hair, unless it has volume. Gamine styles look def off on me.
Off-topic, but I wish there was more info out there for proper androgynous styles. It really suits me better and I feel more comfortable in it, but I struggle to form my own sense of style, rather than just wearing whatever.

Sorry for the skinnyfatness and the mess in the background but please help me figure out what kind of natural I am… Can't distinguish between N or FN.
First pic was taken from about my head height, and the second from about chest height.
I'm 163cm tall

I don't normally post but yeah here we go. I have no idea what body type I am. I feel like my results are kind of fucked because I had surgery as a kid on my back. My back is rather deformed and my height is much shorter than it was supposed to be naturally (supposed to be 177cm// 5'9). I am also mixed race but I don't know how it matters but yeah.
My face is rather round and I have big eyes, a small nose, and decent size lips.
I'm 166cm (5'6) and I weigh 53kg (118lbs).
Results I have gotten are dramatic classic and soft natural looks most like my actual face.

No. 229290
>>229173I think you can still take inspiration from the idea of dressing to celebrate the body you have rather than trying to look like whatever celebrity is most popular atm even if you don't decide to buy into Kibbe. Just think about the things that you like about yourself or make you unique and emphasize them.
If you are really interested in trying to dress for your type though, have you considered soft natural? apparently he said that a lot of SNs think they're gamines. r/kibbe has some really gorgeous outfits that SNs have posted themselves wearing if you want inspo. You could also check out Jean Seberg and Anna Karina. I think they're both Gs and the french girl style they wore usually works really well on FGs without being super zany.

>>229293no, you can be three types at that height: d, sd, fn
however, it’s more important to trust your own opinion at that height, as what non condoned Kibbe communities will do is sort you into a type based on if you have tits or are fat or skinny (SD, FN, D typings by “Kibbe specialists”)
I’d be typed as a dramatic by 90% of Kibbe communities bc I’m lanky skinnyfat and people interpret skinny as d, but I realized I was fn bc of my body build (big shoulders, big hips, big ribcage, little everything else) and how and why I actually struggled to fit into clothes and how clothes fell off my shoulders so strongly they didn’t need and looked chained into d body accommodations, when thin or fat
The other two? SD is most common of the two D types. D is actually very rare and usually mistyped SD or FN if you go off the kibbe groups, where D means skinny. Kibbe doesn’t change with weight. SDs can be very thin and striking and yet curve accommodation is necessary. Look at verified and thin Jacqueline de Ribes.
FN is also the tallest type, bc width balances tallness. That’s how people like Nicole Kidman, who has always been tiny, are FN. Even FN models like Naomi Campbell or Gemma Ward are literally big in terms of horizontal presence. Their bodies all create a T shape. This could also be thin SD. Even muscular Ds will be H shaped. Width can balance vertical, so a person becomes a “tall classic” aka FN. Curvd creates the same effect ( T shake, check out Sophia Loren evening gown) for different reasons.
Keira knightley has been more or less muscular for roles, but still is verified D. She plays D roles, as Kibbe also goes off old Hollywood star stuff, but she’s also able to pull off extremely tight and constricting tops amazingly, not just looking “ok” because she’s skinny. That’s her actual image and it suits her very well. She’s gorg
If you are still confused, picrel. I was between d and fn for a long time and even though I am not as skinny as her, seeing 2000s Gemma ward really helped me realize I was fn. she is tiny yet no matter how thin or large she is her frame is insane compared to someone like Vlada Rosylakova or Liya Kebede. Unlike those girls or Keira knightley she has heavy horizontal presence at the chest. Don’t know what that means? Look at the pic and watch your eyes glide outwards. Check out the other models and see your eyes drawn inward to their neck.
Now SD was left out, and I’m not perfect at seeing SD, bc SD and FN are so similar especially at a higher weight. But SD will be more likely the less you feel that shoulder, arm and actual ribcsge accomodation doesn’t cut it and you gotta go for curve in the actual Upper body.

I was wondering if I could get anon's input on my body type since I have taken the test multiple times and I don't know which type I am. I've gotten theatrical romantic, but I feel like I'm biased since I've heard theatrical romantic is sort of pushed. Any insight is appreciated.

>Why would you wear platform shoes that effect your vertical line and a corset that completely alters your natural body shape when genuinely asking for your Kibbe type?I think it's a troon.
I usually wear platforms because I like to look tall, so I don't have many outfits without some type of platforms. I am not wearing a corset in that photo, it's just a zippered pencil skirt. I've taken the test only once or twice, I am not too familiar with the typing and rules of it, but I wanted to learn since it seems to help a lot of people with styling. Irl I don't think this outfit looks that egirl as others are saying and that wasn't the look I was going for, but I will consider the advice. I don't think platform shoes should be considered a trans only thing. I think it's limiting to women to say certain clothes only a tranny would wear, since when is a top tucked into a skirt with socks and platform shoes something only they would wear? Platforms are super comfy generally, it's a great way to easily get taller if you are of average height.

>>245147you're retarded, the vast majority of the site userbase self identifies as radfem, or maybe you stopped once you learned that being a radfem does not allow you to call other women fat or shit on them with 0 repercussions. I've interacted with most of lolcow's userbase and 90% of them identified as radfem. You're so fucking stupid, go neck yourself or learn how to read. I know this is a gossip website, but that does not mean ideology cannot be introduced to the userbase of a gossip website. We've also had gossip unrelated boards like /ot/ where the radfem ideology has been introduced and it was very successful because most of the website userbase has turned radfem after that. Some anons have quit being radfems though, realizing that you cannot be one while simultaneously shitting on women or you are living in cognitive dissonance. Stop acting like this is only a GOSSIP exclusive imageboard. /ot/ is not related to that.
Most of the stable userbase of this place still identifies as radfem, even the women that come to this thread to call some random woman on the web ugly, masculine and poor.
