can't wait for all series, I mean it's easier to identify with real life examples than with celebs for obvious reasons, thanks so much @MerriamStyle it's so well done and thought as always!!
Real examples of Kibbe types is exactly what I needed to understand my type! It’s hard to compare yourself to celebrities who are almost always made up.
The dramatic in the first face close up is such a perfect dramatic example! She is so stunning! I don't think I've ever seen such an angular nose. Striking really is the appropriate word for this type.
Wow, I didn’t know the comment section was filled with models! Everyone was so beautiful! Hopefully I can send in my picture next time, this series will be very helpful. It was interesting to see how some yin/yang features cancel out, like the women with full lips or cheeks. There were a couple women who I would have thought were SN due to their softness.
You did such a terrific job! Thank you for responding to my email and typing me. You confirmed my suspicion in finally settling on classic. I thought myself as a soft gamine for some time as I am petite. But when I dressed, I preferred a clean, balanced look. Well done 👍
@@merriamstyle Hi Merriam Style! How tall are these ladies? Are they of moderate height? I've been trying to figure out my kibbe and after so long, I'm still not sure if I'm gamine or classic. I went from thinking I was classic for the longest time, then gamine for the longest time, and now I'm not sure. yikes :(
Thanks for the ladies who accepted to share their pictures, without them we wouldn't have this amazing video and thanks to merriam for explaining so well!!
I've been trying to type myself for several months now, and nothing seemed to fit me just right. Well, after watching your videos extensively, I think I've realized I'm more of a soft classic. Classics for me are harder to type because it's difficult to decide what's balanced. Thank you for all the work you've put into these videos!
Yesss this series is such a good idea, can’t wait for the rest of the videos! Classics look so classy and effortlessly beautiful, and as a TR I’m totally jealous of being able to look so good with minimal detail. Thank you for all your hard work
This was such an informative video and it really helped me confirm that I'm a soft classic! I really love how you mentioned that classics can 'borrow' clothing elements from other body types in order to give different vibes to their outfits, as it's helping me understand how I can play with that in order to look more casual or more glamorous, depending on the situation.
Thank you !! This is the most helpful video on Kibbe's body types that I found. I watched a lot of others but none illustrated the subtle differences between the sub-types the way your video does. I can finally understand why the test labelled me a soft-classic type.
Could wish it lasted even longer! I love your videos, and it was very inspiring to watch "real life body type profiles" Can`t wait for the rest in these series! :)
Amazing video! Thanks to all who participated it’s so helpful. Interesting how little it takes for the classics add to their look. 😊. Looking forward to the other examples.
Thank you for this video, I am a plus sized Dramatic Classic and there is not too much information about my type out there. It was great to look at other Classics and learn small interesting details about them.
I love how constructive you are omg. I've struggled with body image my whole life and hearing you talk about these girls in such a constructive manner really helps me feel good:). I feel like I can hear how positive you are in your speaking voice! You just seem like a really nice person.
Thank you so much for including me in your video Merriam! ❤️ I was surprised that you typed me as a classic. I thought I was in the natural cathegory, because my shoulders are a little bit broader than my hips and because of my height and my wide cheek bones. But it makes sense now! I don't look good in very boxy, oversized clothes and less accessories is more. 😊
LOVE IT!! I can't wait to watch your next videos on the other body types! It's so cool to have real life examples, people who we can see everyday. I always try to guess the body type of every woman I see walking down the street and now will be easier! Thank you for your videos, you are helping us so so much!!
This was so wonderful to watch. Thank you so much. I struggle so much to Kibbe type myself and I believe I might be some kind of classic simply because the type can be ambiguous in ways. I sent in my pictures so maybe I'm wrong, but seeing non-celebrity bodies (albeit still stunning ones) in one of your videos is so amazing.
Wow, I still struggle to see what you see, but I'm learning. This video did confirm for me that I am probably soft classic. Great content, thank you so much for educating all of us on the body types!
This has been around for a long time. It's the Kibbe body analysis system. It's just a theory as to what clothes, accessories, ect. suit each body type.
Great video! It's so useful to see a comparison of all of these beautiful ladies, and see the similarities and differences between them. Cant wait for the other videos to come! :D
Most exciting serie on youtube right now! I just can't wait to see more 😍☺️☺️☺️ I feel like in the old days when watching tv shows and you had to wait to see the" next episode next week" can't binge watch Everything like on Netflix 😂
Wow this is super helpful to see real life example. I’m dramatic classic but for a long time I thought I was flamboyant natural. Very helpful to cement being in the classic range
Thanks for this video, this was so helpful. I think the real life examples really do help too. It's definitely helped me confirm for myself I'm most likely a dramatic classic. Thanks so much!
This was really helpful! I found the test a bit hard to do because I found that I put C for many of the questions, but I didn't know if I was just undecided or that it was correct. This video really helped me to better understand what classic is.. my result was soft classic and I might agree with that now after seeing the more curvy examples. Thank you!
Thank you, this is so clear and informative. Your comparisons with 'regular' women makes all the difference. Finally I understand the kibbe system and where I am in it (soft classic probably, possibly theatrical romantic).
Thank you so much for this video! I was so confused about myself earlier. I thought i was a soft natural, but i watched that video of yours and thought to myself "i dont look very good in these types of clothing though.." then i found this video of yours, and now i am confident that i am a dramatic classic.
After trying some clothes for naturals which I was sure I was like you suggested in one vid, I realized I may actually be classic, because the clothes looked a bit boxy on me, too bad I really like those clothes but I realize now that they never actually looked good on me and time to switch my wardrobe. Thank you for doing this ! It helps alot
Thank you so much ❤️ It was really hard for me to determine whether I lean more towards yin or, yang since I have a few D and A answers as well but, this really helped me erasing the confusion .
Thank you sooo much! This settles it for me...Dramatic Classic! I have bounced around between Romantic and Dramatic...didn’t feel right. The Dramatic Classic makes so much sense. However, I have super curly hair...nothing simple or clean line about it. I mostly wear it pulled back and maybe that is the answer to my hair fitting my face and body. I get lots of compliments when worn down and curly,; none when smooth. It seems odd that my natural hair may not work with the rest of me. Maybe the curly hair worn down balances the yang somewhat? Perhaps a video on curly hair for the types? There are lots of us out there of many ethnicities with curly hair of all body types. Any thoughts on curly hair with Dramatic Classic. welcomed! E
This was south a great video. All the ladies are gorgeous and it really helped to clarify how classics work. On a slight tangent would you say the lady used as an example of dramatic is also an ethereal essence? She seemed to have that angelic/other-worldly vibe.
Thank you for this video. I'm just learning about my type. Thank you for saying that we can bring in an element from other body types in clothing since we are balanced. I'm thinking the same for hair? I had long hair but just cut it to jawline bob with bangs. I do look most elegant and my best showing my whole face. These videos will help me to not try too many hairstyles but stick to what works best.
Your face looks totally romantic with the exception of your jawline. Your head looks kinda big but that's all I can tell just from your pic. Definitely very feminine. Could you add details, like your height and flesh on your body?
This is super helpful because I'm a dramatic classic, but I thought I was soft natural for a long while, though I looked super casual in natural lines.
before i even discover kibbe system, my friend used to say i look balance. then when checking out kibbe types, i read all thru of it and classic says they're balance. and im pretty sure i fit in dramatic classic the most. and this video helps a lot since they use real-life person rather than celebrity cuz it can be deceiving and many factors took into account
I was having so much trouble figuring out what type I was because of body dysmorphia but these videos with real people were a big help! Thank you so much for posting these, I was beginning to think I didn't belong in any type hahaha
I’ve been watching all your videos. So informative! I’ve done the quizzes and I thought I was a romantic, but the only thing is that I don’t have a defined waist. So maybe I’m overlooking something. Maybe I’m a soft classic.
Update...I found the Kibbe recommendation for DC hair...blunt cut. My curly hair down is blunt cut as I am growing it out. No wonder I get compliments when it is down...I stumbled into having the perfect cut for my body type...even though curly. It is more about the line and sharp edge of the blunt cut matching DC than the type of hair. I’m so glad to know this...I was considering getting it layered. Yikes! Now I have a plan.
YES!! Couldn't agree more. I just drew some pictures for a client trying to explain it's all about the outer shapes, the outer outlines of the hair, and not so much if it's curly or straight. It's also about the texture. Dramatic could have curly hair, except it would be an angular sharp outline, and stiff-textured curls. Romantic could have curly hair, rounded outline, soft textured curls.
DC too here and a blunt cut is what my soul needs atm but unfortunately I am stuck with somewhat of a shag cut and I'm growing my hair out now, my bangs are framing my face so they're not on the forehead anymore but there are a lot of layers many of which are short (such as the bangs or a big layer just under my chin)... are there any solutions for making it work apart from growing it out? :(
Great video thank you, but it’s thrown my certainty off! 🤐😆 Throughout your previous as well as Aly Art’s videos, I was convinced that I was a soft classic. But watching this real life example video, it appears I might in fact be a pure classic or even dramatic classic instead! Totally confused again 😁
Hi Merriam, fantastic series, love seeing the real life photos, your viewers are so beautiful! Btw I wanted to send you pics but had a busy week. I believe im SN, do you need any more? I know you said your inundated! 😊
Classics are confused with almost every other type I find. Because classics are in the middle, any tiny bit of 'sharpness' or 'softness' can be answered differently from C on the Kibbe quiz. For example, an answer C nose with a teeeeeeny tiny bit of sharpness (not nearly enough to be answer A, actually answer C), could be answered answer A......etc, so they can easily be confused with gamines. It's important to remember the *entire* continuum of how sharp vs soft lines can be.
Can classics or dramatic/soft classics pull of some gamine clothes ? Someone told me I look like classic like Ginger Roger's and maybe grace kelly i agree with the nose and face shape of Grace Kelly I was told if I wore my hair like Ginger Roger's I could pass for her just on face shape now my body shape is what I get confused boy its really hard to identify someone like me .
@@merriamstyle thats exactly my problem... since i am tiny i have to be some sort of gamine but for some reason i have a gutfeeling that classic is my type... i just dont know
@@verica4b Just because your actual height is short doesn't mean your vertical line looks short too. I mean.. Lucy Liu's height is petite but she's typed (not by David Kibbe though) as a Dramatic. You might really be a classic. Who knows?
Very useful indeed! I would like to ask if there's such a thing as someone changing their body type as yhey grow older? When Isee pictured of my younger self (22-27) I can see Soft Classic but now at the age of 36, I have lostquite a lot of facial fat and that emphasises more my high cheekbones and polygonal face shape. I still have more rounded nose and lips and some flesh softness around my hips and belly but I cant tell if my shoulders' bones are sharper or sharper and under the softer flesh of my hips I think that I have a sharper hip bone that comes a little outwards. Also, my arms are overall quite slim looking even though they have some flesh on the upper part. So I am confused about wether I am a Dramatic Classic now or not. Do I remain a Soft Classic with some facial fat loss or do I changebody type? 🤔 As for clothes & hair, I tried DC "strict" lines and they feel a little too sharp to be honest and since I had convinced my self that I am a DC I was surprised when I tried a dress with some clearly softer elements and found it VERY flattering. Same with hair. I feel that completely straight hair styles emphasise the bones of my face (which I don't particularly like) while some slight waves make me feel more harnonious. My problem though, is that I can't be 100% objective and accurate when I'm identifying my own body type and I don't trust fully my ideas of what flatters me and what not 😅
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I've been looking for. I'd love to hear your point of view on a more tomboy style for the different body types. Would that be an interesting video for others as well?
Hi Merriam! Great video, as always. :) Will you continue the "Break the Kibbe's rules" series? I can't wait to see the video about natural family in this concept.
I like the celebrity examples of course but this helps it’s relatable. Realistic clothes for one thing.
I love this!! Seeing real life examples makes understanding the system so much better. Can’t wait for the dramatic series 😉
smscott711 absolutely! Celebs are too skinny most of the time
can't wait for all series, I mean it's easier to identify with real life examples than with celebs for obvious reasons, thanks so much @MerriamStyle it's so well done and thought as always!!

Real examples of Kibbe types is exactly what I needed to understand my type! It’s hard to compare yourself to celebrities who are almost always made up.
The dramatic in the first face close up is such a perfect dramatic example! She is so stunning! I don't think I've ever seen such an angular nose. Striking really is the appropriate word for this type.

@@merriamstyle 😊
Yes and her eye shape is stunning as well.
I agree, she is truly mesmerizing!
I am not her, but thank you! I sometimes feel insecure about looking androgynously angular. My curves help with the insecurity though.

This brings Kibbe Body Types Videos to another level. I can't believe how much information of value you share! Can't wait for your video on naturals😍

Hi Merriam, fantastic series, love seeing the real life photos, your viewers are so beautiful! Btw I wanted to send you pics but had a busy week. I believe im SN, do you need any more? I know you said your inundated! 😊
I think a lot of people could confuse some Classics with Gamine...
Classics are confused with almost every other type I find. Because classics are in the middle, any tiny bit of 'sharpness' or 'softness' can be answered differently from C on the Kibbe quiz. For example, an answer C nose with a teeeeeeny tiny bit of sharpness (not nearly enough to be answer A, actually answer C), could be answered answer A......etc, so they can easily be confused with gamines. It's important to remember the *entire* continuum of how sharp vs soft lines can be.
Can classics or dramatic/soft classics pull of some gamine clothes ? Someone told me I look like classic like Ginger Roger's and maybe grace kelly i agree with the nose and face shape of Grace Kelly I was told if I wore my hair like Ginger Roger's I could pass for her just on face shape now my body shape is what I get confused boy its really hard to identify someone like me .
@@merriamstyle thats exactly my problem... since i am tiny i have to be some sort of gamine but for some reason i have a gutfeeling that classic is my type... i just dont know
@@verica4b Just because your actual height is short doesn't mean your vertical line looks short too. I mean.. Lucy Liu's height is petite but she's typed (not by David Kibbe though) as a Dramatic. You might really be a classic. Who knows?
This is so educational, thank you! Can you do naturals, too?
I have learned a lot from you, thanks a lot. Could you put up some more examples of Asien woman, please?
This was so helpful! Would you do Flamboyant gamine recommendations for a rather Punk rock look?
Very useful indeed!
I would like to ask if there's such a thing as someone changing their body type as yhey grow older?
When Isee pictured of my younger self (22-27) I can see Soft Classic but now at the age of 36, I have lostquite a lot of facial fat and that emphasises more my high cheekbones and polygonal face shape. I still have more rounded nose and lips and some flesh softness around my hips and belly but I cant tell if my shoulders' bones are sharper or sharper and under the softer flesh of my hips I think that I have a sharper hip bone that comes a little outwards. Also, my arms are overall quite slim looking even though they have some flesh on the upper part.
So I am confused about wether I am a Dramatic Classic now or not. Do I remain a Soft Classic with some facial fat loss or do I changebody type? 🤔
As for clothes & hair, I tried DC "strict" lines and they feel a little too sharp to be honest and since I had convinced my self that I am a DC I was surprised when I tried a dress with some clearly softer elements and found it VERY flattering. Same with hair. I feel that completely straight hair styles emphasise the bones of my face (which I don't particularly like) while some slight waves make me feel more harnonious.
My problem though, is that I can't be 100% objective and accurate when I'm identifying my own body type and I don't trust fully my ideas of what flatters me and what not 😅
oh, soo much looking forward to soft dramatics!!!
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I've been looking for. I'd love to hear your point of view on a more tomboy style for the different body types. Would that be an interesting video for others as well?
Please do one on real life dramatics!!💕
Hi Merriam! Great video, as always. :) Will you continue the "Break the Kibbe's rules" series? I can't wait to see the video about natural family in this concept.
Yes there's so much that still needs to be done!! Hopefully 'Break Kibbe's Rules' will eventually be for all the types.
@@merriamstyle I' m really glad to hear this! :D And thank you so much for heart!
Awesome!!! Thank you very much
Love this video! Can someone point me in the direction of the shopping list she mentions?
