One thing I really learned as a flamboyant natural is diagonal lines look really good! They help define the body and because diagonals are inherently dynamic, they keep the eye moving constantly, and movement and freedom are great for flamb.naturals. it helps honor that vertical line. Which is why wrap dresses and tops are so good. So consider diagonal lines at the waist as opposed to horizontal lines which have no movement. It’s kind of an indirect waist emphasis moment.
I'm (probably) a FN with a rectangle body shape and this is SO TRUE. Horizontal hemlines, even when I'm on the slim side, makes me look like a fridge lol The asymmetrical hemlines in tops (or those fake scarf, V shaped ones) are such a game changer!
“… and then small woman gets inspired and they get lost in it”🤣🤣🤣👌🏾Ever since I learned about my body type ,I realised i had a natural affinity towards clothing pieces that accentuated it the way these styling rubrics recommend. Another thing is,once I saw these categories -I can’t unsee certain things.
I often find that the tips for FN don't work anymore when you are not celebrity skinny like in the pictures. I'm FN and midsized with an hourglas shape so my waist is my thinnes part and if I don't highlight it I look 10 kilos heavier. Therefore I really struggle wearing the oversized midwaist flowy clothes
Maybe you guys are mistyped. You sound more like classic or soft classic types. I'm chunky fn and I look awesome in oversize and long. I look awful in belted or fitted waistline.
Summer has always been really hard for me to dress/shop for, but this gave me some great ideas. Even though most outfits were dresses, I really appreciate the inclusion of two-piece outfits. There’s always way too much emphasis on dresses & ball gowns in body type guides. It feels lazy, especially for those of us with long lines.
I’ve naturally gravitated to most of these rules-and knew they looked better on my frame-but couldn’t quite figure out why. Thanks for the explanation!
Do you think you can make a Kibbe then vs Now, part 2 with what you have learned/noticed with this system? Or about essences? Or what's the next video series? I m exciteeeeed! Love your work, thank you ❤
Excellent advice and attention to detail, as always, Aly. As an FN, I have learned that one of the most important details is to allow some sense of space, or air, between my body and my clothing. I can wear very tailored and “sleek” pieces so long as there is something that gives a sense of that air. The other is definitely honouring that vertical line. Once you get the hang of those two details, you realize the options are endless, really. We FN’s are pretty fortunate, I’d say 😃
Could you give examples of those tailored pieces? Working in government can be a challenge when you do boho well, but have a meeting where you need to look well put together and professional.
@@CieloChic I would recommend some 80s-90s inspo. Those suits were tailored while big and loose too, and those characteristics are the keys for FN (that's why boho works so well for us in the first place).
@@CieloChic I'd say get your inspiration from Dolce&gabbana suits if you want to look more feminine or Armani 1990s fitted style suits if you want to look more formal, but keep your blouse/top very feminine, soft and not frilly. Or you can choose satin suits, with a destructurated blazer look, that run soft and long on the body but still keep you elegant and sofisticated
Finally, the Flamboyant Natural! As usually, I love how you point out small details: I couldn't find right words to describe why high round neckline looks weird on FN - and that example of "an aduде woman wearing a little girly dress" is so precise! Aly, could you please talk more about prints and their relation with the body type? Usually, prints are a part of colour theory, and sometimes recommendations from just one perspective are not enough or contradict those of another one. As with watercolour prints: they are considered perfect for the Summer types, but if a person is a FN in Kibbie, it seems they need to reconsider such prints.
I know what you mean. I am also FN (i guess) and a Summer Type (on the lighter and softer side) and i can't wear bold big patterns or very contrasted patterns. But very small patterns also don't work. They always have to be blurred, blended or low to maybe medium contrast. I also use watercolour prints or umbra prints, but because of my more prominent facial features like prominent nose, which likes to create shadows within my face, i keep the watercolour prints not TOO light and soft. I have a very long dress with an umbra pattern and i feel it looks whole, when i combine it with a little contrasting shoe, summer coat or other accessoires. And i really like to combine everything with bolder silver jewelry. Sometimes silver combined with bolder irregular pearls. And i think high round necklines look so weird, because our shoulderline is wider or broader and then the neck seems to be "caught" in some way. And although i think my neck is more slim than broad, maybe it's broader in comparison to other IDs like Gamines and just looks to strong for such collars. Really like a head of a turtle then. 😅Same goes for the rest of the torso. Even though my ribcage is not that broad, i have width from shoulders and more chest. Maybe more the "Curvy Flamboyant Natural" but still FN by 1,75m.
The problem with dresses is that the majority of those in the shops actually are high-waisted, or look high-waisted on a tall person, making the chest look bigger and shoulders wider... :( can't really find a dress that would suit me...
Ally ypu can’t imagine how amazing has been this video for me. I live in a horrible humid and hot weather, so basically an endless summer 😂, all the do’s and don’ts you’re saying are amazingly true 😮. Im in shook! I mean, I always guess that I’m a FN, but thanks to this I can be 100% sure and finally I can understand why I couldn’t look my best, for example, in very high waist pants/jeans, shorts to shorts and cropped, v neck and small sleeves tshirts. Many thanks to you for your sincerity and great explain wise videos!
Thanks for the awesome outfit ideas. Today I realized that below the knee bias cut skirts are my favorite - they balance me out and have a little give for that pesky 5 lbs that comes and goes
Everything was ticking tbe boxes for me to be a fn until you said high waist looks bad on them. I have a very long torso and the only rise I can wear is high rise. Everything else looks ridiculous on me
Well I am very clear that I'm a flamboyant natural I really struggle when it comes to jeans because of my weight. I'm always told that we look best in jeans but because most of my weight is centered at my belly it makes it very difficult for me to wear mid-rise and low rise jeans. I feel like high-rise is the only option because everything else on me looks pretty sloppy in my personal opinion. At this point now I really given up on jeans and I'm sticking to dresses and skirts because they are far more forgiving.
Me too- same struggle- I saw an advice on TikTok to buy Levis 501, or «momjeans»but sizing up two sizes and use a belt, it actually looks and feels good😊
Love this video! I keep coming back to it cause it’s so insightful. Would love a trend update for FN - how can we alter the trends for our frame? What should we be shopping right now?
13:52 🥲I was hesitating with SN bc I am 1,67m + I have normal size legs, long arms for my height and quite a long torso. I look taller than I really am so thank you for this precision 🙂
Thank you for making this video and the whole summer series! I've been waiting for flamboyant natural video. 😊 I think designer Johanna Ortiz has great designs for flamboyant naturals. ✨
This is amazing!! I think I've finally found my Kibbe type! I already know pretty much what works on me and what doesn't but I never knew why. Watching this I identify with everything you're saying about what what works or not so I'm fairly sure I must be FN. This is going to be so helpful going forward
The only thing that isn't right for me out of all of this is very oversized trousers where they're oversized all the way down, as I have really big thighs and it emphasises that
This video was fantastic! I just recently discovered your channel and I am. really impressed by the content. As a FN I am always looking for style/clothing ideas and this was a treasure trove.
I hate tiny T-shirts and tank tops. Love bodycon dresses on others but not on me. I look so manly when I wear them. My frame is very muscular even though I don’t do any sports. I think this is my type! Difficult one to dress in hot summer but I’ll try wearing bigger/longer tops with a long skirt, looks interesting. Thank you for your advice!
Long flowy maxidresses with sandals work really well in high heat! And flowy overalls in natural fabric too! It's what I am surviving on in Italian summer, and I don't feel the "warmth" or the impediment of too much fabric on the skin
everything resounded with me. before discovering Kibbie and your channel, i use to wonder why certain things i never liked on me, but i couldn't explain why. now i know. thank you
In love with this video. I am 1,76 cm… I have very long arms and a long torso. My legs are shorter and my ankles are not very small. Since I started to gain weight I can wear sweatshirts and normal joggers. But I really struggle a little bit with this weight in front of my belly… I‘d really would love to get more ideas for that. And btw since my bigger tummy I cannot wear any more highrise jeans… only wide pants…
Alyona would you be able to make a video on office wear for the body types? For yang dominant types it seems quite straightforward, but as a romantic I am struggling to find formal office wear that looks right on my body type. I feel like the straight lines of suits are too sharp and contrast in very unflattering way, but I don't know what to buy that would make me look well and professional at the same time. Any help would be really appreciated!
👏fantastic video 🥰❣️was waiting for it!…but u Aly u look fabulous! Your shiny hair..make up!…I just love watching every videos of u just to see how u style yourself!!! U my all time fav youtuber!!!
So many great things articulated that I agree with. Agree with low contrast waist emphasis. Agree with avoiding pleats. Agree with bony FN vs. meaty FN😂 that’s totally my sister vs. me😂
If people constantly tell you that you look taller than you actually are I say go with your gut and stick with the flamboyant natural type. It's not about your actual height but rather the appearance that you give height-wise
Love the video. I am struggling a bit and maybe you can help. I know I am a natural. Younger I would say I was a flamboyant natural, as I grow older I find my lines are softening, did I change shape? Or was I wrong about my original determination? Thanks.
You could take some cosy outfits from soft natural… like a soft coat or a soft scarve. Or a blouse without collar… thin necklances … soft colors… wavy hair..
I am a FN who wants to be cute and adorable too! Some ideas is to use Kibbe shapes (for example a top that gives enough room in the shoulders, maybe showing off the collar bones paired with a long skirt, long wavy hair) but using pretty colors like soft pink & lilac. Or you can do a mini skirt option with an oversized sweater on top (the legs act as the vertical) with some chunky shoes which can be very cutesy! I always do soft pink long acrylic nails - I find I feel very cute & pretty with them, and rather than accentuating the width and shortness of my hands it elongates my fingers and looks good.
I wish I could just figure out if Im FN or SN without posting myself on Reddit 😂 I think FN body types are closest to mine but i never see that verticality in myself. In terms of limb length I'm more moderate, and I am more fleshy than lean, but SN recommendations look so, idk, basic on me? I guess what Im asking is, if Jennifer Lawrence had slightly shorter legs would she be typed a SN? Because she's exactly my body type and I think she radiates FN energy.
My impression is that any body type which is Soft naturally has a noticeable pronounced bust which is D cup or larger. I'm a C cup so my bust is just average and therefore I'm not Soft. Judging from her beach photos, Jennifer Lawrence looks like she has a medium/average bust (remember that most celebs are wearing padded bras a lot of the time, you have to find the pics of her in a non-padded bikini bra!) so I would rule her out as a Soft. I agree she is a FN, she's just not the type that has the sinewy defined calves and upper arms. I think the musclier FNs are actually in the minority of FNs.
I look slim like i could wear S size but i'm actually L size, my rib cage is wide with no waist definition, short torso with big breasts, jeans fit tight on my waist but my hips are swimming inside, always need to try on the clothes to make sure i get some balance
Not lushly curvy, but some curves (no matter the weight). now 5'7" but 15 years ago (and all of adult life) was 5'8 1/2". Don't look very lengthy in limbs, have average length legs for height but have quite short arms. Definitely pear shape. So what am I? Soft Natural styles seem to look best on me, but aren't I too tall?
I'm stuck as I'm 171 cm, have broad blunt shoulders, I look athletic. I'm definitely a natural type. But despite being tall, I don't look tall because I have a long torso and short legs with quite thick thighs. I think I'm more of a soft natural but at nearly 5 foot 8 that's not correct as per kibbe. You ladies got any ideas?
Noticeably long torso shows elongation, which SN usually does not have. So FN, D, SD would maybe be more likely or even DC (look at D Keira Knightley for instance, you can see how elongated her torso is). Gaining weight on the lower body is also typical for yang! If you don't feel like FN lines look harmonious, maybe try out D or DC lines too😊
Same here, I have broad shoulders, longish torso, thick thighs, fleshy face and I'm 5 foot 8 too. But the descriptions of D, FN, and SD just don't fit me at all. Too much width and bluntness for D, too soft and short legged for FN, not curvy enough for SD. Even if I'm "too tall" for SN, it's the only one that makes sense to me. All of Aly's suggestions for SN style laws were spot on for me, and these FN recommendations less so. 🤷🏼♀️ So I'm going with all the other factors being in my favor for SN and not worrying too much about the height technicality.
Please do a separate video on Margot! She explored many different outfits in the Barbie movie, I still get classic vibes from her because she’s symmetrical - would love to know your opinion
@@emmamartin4045 pls tell me where you see Yang. I’ve been seeing that all through Reddit, I thought I was getting good at categorizing until now, I’m set back again
Flamboyant Natural are elongated and wide, Dramatic Classic are balanced, slightly elongated and more narrow. If you are over 5’8 you are probably not Dramatic Classic. FN look good in sweeping long bold and oversized clothes, DC look good in moderate sharp outfit. I feel like a good indicator would be hair : if big tousled long hair looks better than clean hair then you might be FN. I get why you might be confused but in term of clothing recommendations both are pretty different, I suggest you to try different silhouette and I see what you think is best for you. Hope it helps
@@katemaconeil7087 Thanks. I am 5.7 with long thin limbs and always preferred big hair and low cut neck, so I thought FN. but recently noticed that higher cut neck and more tailoring does not look as bad on me, as I thought that made me wonder. Thanks again.
What I love about Kibbe's system is that he recommends mirroring the qualities of our bone structure in our dress. While your recommendations match his, the fact that you often present them in terms of "correction" makes me kind of sad!
Maybe you say that because she shows examples of what « not to wear »? I find it very helpful! And most of the time it confirms what I already knew but didn’t want to admit to myself. A garment can be pretty but I need to ask myself: does it make ME pretty? Thought I’d bring my thoughts on this because I’ve seen other comments saying Aly is too judgy, but I’d like to thank her for giving her honest advice!
@@salomeeeee Thanks---I am with you! I like the don'ts too. What I meant was very subtle and Aly doesn't do it very often anyway (talk about "minimizing" things about one's body with Kibbe recommendations). It was probably not worth mentioning even, because yes, she does a great job on the whole!
@@persikosaftwell I was glad she did because it is exactly how I feel when I wear tight shorts. Having someone relating a feeling to a cause makes it easier to dress. ^^
I was just searching the info about Margot Robbie and they say she's a flamboyant natural. With her 168 cm? Really? If it's possible for you to make,, would love to watch the video about her style and her struggle with Channel (why it didn't work for her and so on)
I love these! Can you make the same series for fall/winter as well?
Yes! This would be AMAZING!
Please!
Agreed!

Really appreciate you not just saying for FN to hide their bodies. It’s super discouraging to constantly hear
I've been walking around naked not knowing what to wear waiting for this one to come out 😂
RIP Jane Birkin
I often find that the tips for FN don't work anymore when you are not celebrity skinny like in the pictures. I'm FN and midsized with an hourglas shape so my waist is my thinnes part and if I don't highlight it I look 10 kilos heavier. Therefore I really struggle wearing the oversized midwaist flowy clothes

I have the same issue! I recently purchased thicker width waist belts and they have changed the way I look at oversized dresses!!
Maybe you guys are mistyped. You sound more like classic or soft classic types.
I'm chunky fn and I look awesome in oversize and long. I look awful in belted or fitted waistline.
THISSSSS
Then maybe you are soft ?
Summer has always been really hard for me to dress/shop for, but this gave me some great ideas. Even though most outfits were dresses, I really appreciate the inclusion of two-piece outfits.

Anyone having tricks for adding "cuteness" in the outfit for flamboyant natural? 🥺 I'm in depression to be that type !

Some ideas is to use Kibbe shapes (for example a top that gives enough room in the shoulders, maybe showing off the collar bones paired with a long skirt, long wavy hair) but using pretty colors like soft pink & lilac. Or you can do a mini skirt option with an oversized sweater on top (the legs act as the vertical) with some chunky shoes which can be very cutesy! I always do soft pink long acrylic nails - I find I feel very cute & pretty with them, and rather than accentuating the width and shortness of my hands it elongates my fingers and looks good.
Did Aly share her body type eversince she said she isn't SF ANYMORE? I am dying to know
I can't wear sleek things. Oversize works awesome for me.
I wish I could just figure out if Im FN or SN without posting myself on Reddit 😂 I think FN body types are closest to mine but i never see that verticality in myself. In terms of limb length I'm more moderate, and I am more fleshy than lean, but SN recommendations look so, idk, basic on me?
I guess what Im asking is, if Jennifer Lawrence had slightly shorter legs would she be typed a SN? Because she's exactly my body type and I think she radiates FN energy.
My impression is that any body type which is Soft naturally has a noticeable pronounced bust which is D cup or larger. I'm a C cup so my bust is just average and therefore I'm not Soft. Judging from her beach photos, Jennifer Lawrence looks like she has a medium/average bust (remember that most celebs are wearing padded bras a lot of the time, you have to find the pics of her in a non-padded bikini bra!) so I would rule her out as a Soft. I agree she is a FN, she's just not the type that has the sinewy defined calves and upper arms. I think the musclier FNs are actually in the minority of FNs.
Finalllyyhhh
Thank you so much ❤
I thought this was maybe my body type but I wear the exact opposite and I know Im not wrong on all points . Guess Im back looking into soft dramatic 🤭
thisssssssssss!!!! Thank you!!!!!
So FN can have hips?
I ruled out this type for me, because I’m only 172 cm, and have hips. I thought N were straight hipped. Hmmm.
I look slim like i could wear S size but i'm actually L size, my rib cage is wide with no waist definition, short torso with big breasts, jeans fit tight on my waist but my hips are swimming inside, always need to try on the clothes to make sure i get some balance
do you give consultation? I would like to know what my type is.
Лето подходило к концу..
Not lushly curvy, but some curves (no matter the weight). now 5'7" but 15 years ago (and all of adult life) was 5'8 1/2". Don't look very lengthy in limbs, have average length legs for height but have quite short arms. Definitely pear shape. So what am I? Soft Natural styles seem to look best on me, but aren't I too tall?
I'm stuck as I'm 171 cm, have broad blunt shoulders, I look athletic. I'm definitely a natural type. But despite being tall, I don't look tall because I have a long torso and short legs with quite thick thighs. I think I'm more of a soft natural but at nearly 5 foot 8 that's not correct as per kibbe. You ladies got any ideas?
Noticeably long torso shows elongation, which SN usually does not have. So FN, D, SD would maybe be more likely or even DC (look at D Keira Knightley for instance, you can see how elongated her torso is). Gaining weight on the lower body is also typical for yang! If you don't feel like FN lines look harmonious, maybe try out D or DC lines too😊
Same here, I have broad shoulders, longish torso, thick thighs, fleshy face and I'm 5 foot 8 too. But the descriptions of D, FN, and SD just don't fit me at all. Too much width and bluntness for D, too soft and short legged for FN, not curvy enough for SD. Even if I'm "too tall" for SN, it's the only one that makes sense to me. All of Aly's suggestions for SN style laws were spot on for me, and these FN recommendations less so. 🤷🏼♀️ So I'm going with all the other factors being in my favor for SN and not worrying too much about the height technicality.
@bewinca sounds exactly like me. I cam do FN clothes well but SN works a little better
How to do business professional clothes if stiff and tailored clothes do not look good on FN?
Hi , do you do online personal body analysis?
Am a true flamboyant natural!
Please do a separate video on Margot! She explored many different outfits in the Barbie movie, I still get classic vibes from her because she’s symmetrical - would love to know your opinion
There’s nothing symmetrical about her regarding yin/yang balance. She’s very Yang.
@@emmamartin4045 pls tell me where you see Yang. I’ve been seeing that all through Reddit, I thought I was getting good at categorizing until now, I’m set back again
I still wavering between Flamb. natural and dramatic classic, is there a sure way to make distinction?
Flamboyant Natural are elongated and wide, Dramatic Classic are balanced, slightly elongated and more narrow. If you are over 5’8 you are probably not Dramatic Classic.
FN look good in sweeping long bold and oversized clothes, DC look good in moderate sharp outfit. I feel like a good indicator would be hair : if big tousled long hair looks better than clean hair then you might be FN.
I get why you might be confused but in term of clothing recommendations both are pretty different, I suggest you to try different silhouette and I see what you think is best for you. Hope it helps
Try out the lines for each! Dramatic classics need tailoring - naturals often look quite suffocated in tailored garments.
@@solidfever01 thank you.

@@katemaconeil7087 Thanks. I am 5.7 with long thin limbs and always preferred big hair and low cut neck, so I thought FN. but recently noticed that higher cut neck and more tailoring does not look as bad on me, as I thought that made me wonder. Thanks again.
@@rawdriaAt 5’7 you are either a D, a FN or a SD. DCs can’t be taller than 5’5. If sharpness looks really good on you, look into Dramatics.
Can you be short and FN? I'm 5 feet but typed as flamboyant natural because I have width and vertical.
Damn it!
What I love about Kibbe's system is that he recommends mirroring the qualities of our bone structure in our dress. While your recommendations match his, the fact that you often present them in terms of "correction" makes me kind of sad!
Maybe you say that because she shows examples of what « not to wear »? I find it very helpful! And most of the time it confirms what I already knew but didn’t want to admit to myself. A garment can be pretty but I need to ask myself: does it make ME pretty? Thought I’d bring my thoughts on this because I’ve seen other comments saying Aly is too judgy, but I’d like to thank her for giving her honest advice!
@@salomeeeee Thanks---I am with you! I like the don'ts too. What I meant was very subtle and Aly doesn't do it very often anyway (talk about "minimizing" things about one's body with Kibbe recommendations). It was probably not worth mentioning even, because yes, she does a great job on the whole!
Yea, when she talked about shorts and "sausage legs" I was like wtf.
@@persikosaftwell I was glad she did because it is exactly how I feel when I wear tight shorts. Having someone relating a feeling to a cause makes it easier to dress. ^^
Oh, I was onboard until you mentioned big flowers and stribes 😢
Thought jennifer lawrence was soft natural?
She’s a curvy flamboyant natural like me!
I do think he originally had her as SN, you probably remember that. She's 5' 7.5", so too tall for that in his system now.
I was just searching the info about Margot Robbie and they say she's a flamboyant natural. With her 168 cm? Really? If it's possible for you to make,, would love to watch the video about her style and her struggle with Channel (why it didn't work for her and so on)
I didn't know she had struggled wirh Chanel but it doesn't surprise me at all because her Chanel red carpet looks usually do nothing for her.
