Understanding Kibbe Types

The Kibbe system offers a unique way to understand how your body interacts with clothing. It’s about recognizing the shapes, fabrics, and cuts that naturally align with your physical structure. Each Kibbe type has distinct characteristics that guide you in selecting clothing that enhances your natural lines and proportions. Here’s a closer look at the types:

• Soft Gamine: Embrace playful and youthful styles that incorporate a mix of elements, such as cropped jackets and fitted tops, to highlight your features without overwhelming them. The key is to maintain a balance between soft and sharp lines, ensuring that your natural energy and vivacity are reflected in your attire.
• Flamboyant Gamine: Bold and eclectic styles with sharp, angular elements can create a dynamic appearance that suits your spirited nature. Look for asymmetrical cuts and contrasting colors that emphasize your unique lines, allowing your vibrant personality to shine through.
• Dramatic: Emphasize long, vertical lines and sharp, angular shapes to highlight your bold and striking presence. Opt for structured, tailored pieces that create a sleek and sophisticated silhouette, enhancing your natural drama and elegance.
