my problem is that i'm not able to look at my own body and face from an unprepossessed perspective. i know that i see myself differently than what i look like to others so i have no clue which one of these bodytypes i actually am and that really confuses me.
39acc93 Take your photo in a bikini and do the test, it's really easy, than you'll know which tipe you are and remember it is not an exact science! Just have fun, don't take it too seriously! 😉
As I said in one of my previous videos - I had to do several pictures of myself several steps away to understand that! I realied that I didn't know anything about my body even though I always thought I knew. So after i made a picture and then comared it to many celebrities then I started answering the test questions differently and right. and I found my type and things got better in clothes.
aaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dramatic fits me absolutely perfectly!!!!! I like these terms way batter than comparing our body shapes to fruit!!! all of these sound so wonderful and angelic, loving this series and you!!!!! many kisses! xx
Its more than just actual height. Its more like proportion to your body. If you have smaller face than u look taller than you are but if you have larger face compared to your bone structure than you look smaller/ more petite.
^What Sua said, but also, these aren't hard and fast rules - they're tendencies/guidelines. If most of your features are Soft Classic, you're a Soft Classic.
I think it's easiest if you figure out what about yourself is NOT classic and go from there. Like if classic is baseline, which things about your body are preventing you from being classic the most? I'll use myself as an example of the process: First, what is classic about me? I have a clearly defined waist and moderate bust like a classic, but nothing else about me springs to mind as a classic feature. What traits does the rest of my body have? Height? Fairly tall at 5'8.5". Shoulders? Broad. Hands and feet? Large and narrow. Long limbs. Right there I'm already showing a lot of yang features. I can think to myself, do I have any very yin things I can point to? Sort of, I have some feminine traits to my face like high set eyebrows, heavy lidded eyes, small (width wise) mouth, and I'm not very muscular. But that's all I can think of, and going down the list I can think of even more yin/dramatic/natural traits. Very prominent facial bones (high nose bridge, strong cheekbones, defined jaw), diamond face shape, blunt nose tip, blunt chin, straight eyebrows. Overall my face is striking and unusual more than it is classic, girlish or sex kittenish. I didn't run any numbers but you can easily see that what's tipping the scales is all that yang. So from there I can sort out, are these natural yang traits or dramatic ones? This requires some discernment to decide what things are making the biggest visual impact. My face is definitely on the natural side. I have bluntness/rectangles to my chin and nose tip, a very open eye area with a high brow bone, and things are not especially sharp or elongated overall. On the other hand my body is fairly narrow/elongated in structure and not all that muscular. Therefore I think I'm pretty well 50/50 dramatic and natural, so I think of myself as a flamboyant natural. If you have more of a mix of strongly yang and yin features then you need to discern which ones are yin and which are yang. If your shape is yang you're probably gamine, if your shape is yin then you're probably theatrical romantic. This is regardless of height which is just one feature.
The "x will not..." thing, and actually the "x will..." thing too, are just the most extreme examples on a spectrum - they're a guideline to help assess yourself. Having some outlying features doesn't prevent you from still being a particular body type. If most of your features fall into a certain body type, then that's your body type.
Me too.... I have small or Normal lips, big eyes, Slim nose, Small face, prominent cheekbones, im not tall (158cm), my Body Shows bones but i have a bigger hips and small waist
I'm definitely a soft natural. You're the only one who gives a realistic perpective of body types, talking about height and weight, in a lot of videos they just mention pear, hourglass, etc. Thanks! ❤
Andreea Nya I love ENFPs so much they have the best imagination and are very creative and full of life, they always change the way I see things! I’m an INTP-A.
I was going through all the body types and when Aly said "...soft gamines always feels overweight even when they're not because of the extreme round shape of the body compared to the short limbs." my whole life just made sense!
_______________ I wondered about this. I had to answer the questions before I gained weight and after I gained weight. The fleshy aspect throws me off. I went from romantic to more of a soft gamine.
I love how intelligent you are! You and Stephanie Nicole are probably the most insightful TH-cam channels to watch! (when it comes to beauty, obviously lol)
i love your body type series aly! you’re the only one here on youtube who has helped me figure out what works best and i’m sure it’s the same for many other girls! i rewatched and studied your videos and i finally found my body type is natural! now i understand why certain things feel so comfortable and others not so much! thank you❤️
I love the fact that you included pictures of women that were popular in the past (models and actresses) as well as "modern" popular women. The older pictures are actually the ones in which the features show more clearly in my opinion. Something bothers me though: the size of breasts varies from human to human and a thin/skinny woman can actually have large breasts naturally. Also, "exotic features" can, by definition, be part of the face of any human being who isn t a "standard white european". Exotic just means it comes from another culture/country than the one you live in, it has nothing to do with body types. Anyways, very interesting videos, it gave me a lot of inspiration for character designing.
I think exotic could just mean having features that are striking or distinctive and not common. Features like a very sharp or prominent nose, very high or prominent cheekbones, upturned eyes, sharp/wide jawline, etc. Exotic faces can be that of Cher, Sofia Loren and Anjelica Houston. Angelina Jolie. They are all white. Lucy Liu is Asian with an exotic face. Zhang Zi Yi is also Asian but she has a classic face, not exotic. Aishwarya Rai is another non-white and she has a purely romantic face, I don't see her features as being exotic. Just imo.
Thank you for saying this. I always feel like such an anomaly because I have a naturally large bust, yet my frame is quite small, and so no matter what system it is (bras, clothing sizes in general, or this Kibbe body typing system...), it is really hard to find any ready-made thing that fits me right because for some reason people seem to think that there is no way an otherwise smallish person can have large breasts.
@@Pearlaceous I think i have categorized myself as flamboyant gamine, though I do still sometimes wonder. However that seems to fit me the best, I think. Even though all the examples of flamboyant gamines I can find online have either medium or small busts, but I guess my genetics are just weird hahahah.
I always wondered what body type I fell into since the usual 'hourglass' 'apple' 'triangle' body type shapes never really helped me. But these are so helpful! I'm a soft dramatic.
When I took the quiz, I couldn't tell if I was a Natural mixed with Classic, or a Dramatic classic, but this new explanation cleared it up: I'm a perfect "Soft Dramatic," every description, down to the "will not have" is me 100%
i have long fingers and boxy hands and a sharp nose but my legs and arms are pretty symetrical and i look my best in strapless dresses with a waist emphasis, i assume thats a classic dress. and my face is pretty balanced 🤷🏼♀️
I just wanted to let you know how much your body types series has helped me with my self image. I've learned that my body is just that, a body. Not one that determines my beauty, but one that I can use to enhance it.
This is so helpful! I can definitely confirm I’m a soft gamine. I could never tell what I was with the extreme “hourglass, banana, apple, pear” posts that made me think I could be all. But this really boiled it down. Thanks!
i'm either a romantic or soft gamine - can you elaborate on the differences? thanks so much for making these types of videos, aly. they're really helpful. it's incredible how just changing a piece of clothing here or there can really flatter or UNflatter a figure
The very first time I am able to pinpoint my own body type. I am a typical romantic bodytype. Your videos are amazing! Because of my body type I had no idea how to dress because normal cloths makes me look short and fat. When I dress fitted, people always are confused because I am heavyier then I look. But your video on the fashion for the bodytypes makes so much sense to me, thank you so much!
is there a male version of this? i always see & hear about female body types and what is better for them to wear, but i dont see this for males. I've always struggled trying to get clothes that fits me right or look good on me. most males have this naturally broad, muscular body type and the clothes that they wear would not look good on me.
I’m 5’5 and a half, soft and fleshy, but with narrow curves...a theatrical romantic with ingenue essence. My head is slightly large and my cheeks slightly puffy and rounded, so I look abit more soft gamine in the face (especially with weight gain). The first time I found out about Kibbe years ago, I immediately typed myself as soft natural because I liked the bohemian style and long, loose hairstyles...I didn’t understand the system back then, and used to look sloppy and shapeless, like my clothes were too big for me, and my hair looked messy in those long, tousled Natural styles (I cringe looking at those older pics). A year ago, I re-read Kibbe, went to a Kibbe Forum, showed them my pictures, and they told me to try Soft Gamine. Soft Gamine clothes looked abit childish on my body, even though the make-up and accesories looked good. Short lines and color blocks are not that flattering on my delicate hourglass figure, looks awkward, like I’m trying to be cute. Next I tried Soft Classic, and the clothes looked much better on me than Soft Gamine or Soft Natural. Atleast it didn’t hide my body shape...but it also didn’t enhance it. It was fine, but looked a bit plain on me...the detailing, make-up and accesories needed to be stepped up a little. So finally I tried Theatrical Romantic, and it was a perfect match :) the only thing is, it’s not easy to find budget-friendly and stylish clothes for theatrical romantic or romantic types! Most of the clothes you find in stores are more geared towards Natural types, Classics and Gamines...but especially Naturals (no wonder I wanted to be a Soft Natural back then). Anyway, I would never have guessed that I was a TR myself, infact I didn’t think I could be a romantic because I’m not super curvy. My hips are just moderate size and they even get slightly narrow when I lose weight, they are soft and only slightly rounded, not at all flared, wide or lush like romantics. My waist is curved only slightly as well, not super defined, not tiny, just moderate and maybe slightly narrow...I get love handles first when I gain weight, but I also gain weight evenly everywhere, even the face. I am overall abit narrow/smallish in bone structure, small wrists and ankles, narrow hands and feet, but evenly soft and fleshy everywhere. I have Dramatic Yang in my prominent collarbones, slightly straight shoulders and high cheekbones, but everything else is mostly Yin (the flesh and ‘smallish’ look), with a few balanced features (nose, lips, waist, hips). So if anyone is confused about their type, I hope my story can help you and inspire you to try out different styles till you find your type.
I feel like every single one except for the dramatic is "will NOT be extremely tall". I'm very tall but definitely not dramatic. I'm 5'10" but with a wasp waist, curvy hips, long legs, defined shoulders and a soft and symmetrical, classic face. And btw my bmi is on the lower end of ideal. I really don't know what I am. Can you please help me?
CCCCCCCCCCCCC Similar here! I'm 5'9", but my waist is smaller than my hips with a noticeable "hourglass like" definition. I have always been tall and very lean. I have a small chest, small feet, a small rounded nose, and round eyes. I don't know what I am 🙄
A lot of the listed celebrities don't fit the definition perfectly. Candice Swanepoel has an insanely small waist/curvy bone structure but was placed in flamboyant natural. Rihanna is 5'8" and has very large hands and feet but was placed in theatrical romantic. There is so much variation in human appearance that it's impossible to contain perfectly in 13 types, its' just to get an idea.
Yes, just like Aly said, it's not an exact science, just make the test (it really helps) and see in which category you are leaning most to. Answer all questions, watch all the videos and you will definitely find your categorie! Hope this helps! 😉
to me your description sounds like a soft natural, they have some softness to them but they are on the leaner side and have not overly dramatic faces for example jennifer lawrence she is tall but has still soft curves....at least this would be my guess :)
This is me! It says I have a bit of flamboyant romantic too. But those are the soft gamine aspects. So romantic, soft gamine I am. I am now focusing on fashion aspects that overlap. My hair is 100% dramatic. So I will focus on styles that work with that.
This is so hard for me to do. I study fashion and feel like I can easily identify these types on other people but I have been unable to figure my own type out for years! I have seen these videos many times since they were posted and I am unsure if it if because of my Body Dysmorphic Disorder or if I am actually just weird. Im average-tall and generally fit the natural category however my waist is small and defined and my hips rounded especially from the side view. Yet my bone structure, shoulders arms and such are very broad, strong and blunt. I have a small head and large body but have small wide hands and feet. I have a full bustline and smooth hipline. I feel like I must some kind of natural (maybe soft I dont know) but look like a very tall romatic from behind and side angles. I wish I could use all this helpful information on myself not just others.
are you me from another universe? you literally just described my EXACT proportions. i think i'm stuck between soft classic and soft dramatic, but neither category seems to fit right
Have you tried finding what clothes, hair and makeup looks better on you? I only knew I was a Yin body type, so I compared SC, SG, TR and R lines, took pictures to compare, and now I'm pretty sure I'm a TR although I can't really "see" the Yang undercurrent in me. There's also a Kibbe subreddit where you can submit your pictures for the community to guess.
After watching all of these videos I did my best to look at my body as a shape, and nothing more I figured I was a classic (makes sense) The harder part was figuring out if I was soft or dramatic So I tested what clothing "should" look better on me and with quarantine, I now see how my body collects fat Happy to say I'm confident that I am a soft classic!
I'm either a natural or a dramatic classic... Or something in between. I would love if you would make a video for each body type about what to wear and what not. That would be sooo helpful! Love your videos btw, i never skip a new video :) x
Thank you so much now i can see the difference between TR and SG but it's up to me now to take a deep look at body to recognize its type because sometimes I see that I'm a theatrical romantic and sometimes a soft gamine ;)
Right! But look at your hands and feet. If they are delicate and feminine - you are TR.And if they are like a boyish, kind of square and a bit puffy or wide - and small then SG
I bet everyone going to try to say they "romantic" body type since curvy now became a body trend, where was this when y'all was dogging us a couple years back?? 😂😂
I looked up a bunch of tests on the Internet (all fake or very low effort) to try and get my type. I looked at this and found my type immediately from your description only.
This was really informative. In the future it would also be great to see examples from other ethnicities, because as an Asian gal I don’t think many of the very “sharp angular” features are relevant. :)
Thank you so much for your content. I have determined that I am a Flamboyant Natural. I originally thought I was a Dramatic Classic. It was hard to decide which one as I can see both sides. And it is so hard to see yourself clearly vs. what you admire or what you think you should be. Love you and your content. (You're a great singer, too!)
Hahaha, It’s so weird hearing you talk about a body type that describes me to the point! 😂 I’ve been trying to figure it out for a long time! Proud SD here! 🙋🏻♀️
Soft dramatic it is 😍 Being tall and voluptuous (185cm/6 ft tall, having an E cup bust, a tighter waist and thicker tights) I thought something was not right, because I didn't see other women look like I do I didn't know that there was a type for my body Now I feel so much better that I'm normal and not weird, and am actually looking like I should (not overweight doe my kilos are 78)
Someone help me out here because I can't decide: I'm 6ft talk My face has very soft edges Not much structure, relatively big lips and eyes When I put in weight it goes to my belly and thighs When I'm skinny my shoulders are broad and angular My hips are slightly wider than my waist I have very long legs and arms, hands and feet are big Help me out :) Wow if I'm ever wanted for a crime this is all they'd need 😂
OMG been obsessed with finding my body type...I think you video finally helped me after taking 3 tests watching a thousand videos.I am a soft gamine...yeah!!!!!! I look awesome w short pixie 5 1 1/2. square jaws but soft.broad shoulder but soft not too much of a waistline.i am a bit tom boyish and feminine at the same time....the bubble pic of me here is my natural grey I am 55.but everyone say I look younger.that hairstyle is gone hair seems to take over.i look way more proportioned w little hair....Thank you for helping me see after all these years my body.....Now let's change the wardrobe...
I look into Kibbe's system and personally find it the most useful tool so far in styling. Aly Art's educational channel on this topic is one of the sources that I learn a lot from. I would like to bring up a few points about the system that are confusing, contentious or overlooked. First, it is NOT a complete system. Kibbe system evaluates an individual by three dimensions - line types (angular, blunt, round, blended), height (tall, blended or medium, short), frame dominant or body dominant or blended. Mathematically that gives rise to 4 x 3 x 3 = 24 types. So 11 types are missing in the Kibbe system. This in part explains the existence of derivative Kibbe systems, such as a blend of multiple Image IDs, or creation of new types like "short dramatic". This is also why some TH-camr like Merriam Style proposes styling a person specifically for the three dimensions without naming the overall combination of the underlying dimensions (the Image ID). It not only simplifies the system, but also makes it mathematically and practically complete. Another contentious point pertains to the influence of age and weight to image ID. Obviously absent surgergical interventions, one's line type and height do not change much with age and weight. But one loses collagen substantially as one ages creating a more gaunt face. For any aged individual on the more gaunt end of the spectrum, harsh light would cast the shadow similar to the face of a Dramatic regardless of her image IDs when young. It is not a stretch to say everyone coming out of a starvation camp (see photos of Minnesota Starvation Experiment and Holocast) looks frame dominant as there is negligible body fat. Similarly everyone mobidly obese look body dominant. Examples on the extreme ends of the spectrum shed light on the fact that age and weight do impact one being frame or body dominant. The subtley is those around the mid range of the spectrum may still maintain the same frame or body dominant characteristic as they age and weight change. Many of the examples of overweight and underweight individuals Aly Art give fall within this range. There is the position that since Kibbe designs the Kibbe system, his diganosis of an individual's image ID should therefore be absolute. As the architect of the system himself, Kibbe's opinion certainly carries much weight. If we take Kibbe Image ID as his personal take on individuals, then his opinion by definition is his/her Kibbe Image ID. But if we take Kibbe Image ID as a systemic school of thought, then the diagnosis of an individual's image ID should be based on the rules he defined. It is like DSM states the diagnostic rules of mental disorders. Diagnosis is based on the defined rules, not the opinions of specific famous psychologists for certain mental disorders even though they as heavyweights of the field carry much weight in their opinion.

I think exotic could just mean having features that are striking or distinctive and not common. Features like a very sharp or prominent nose, very high or prominent cheekbones, upturned eyes, sharp/wide jawline, etc. Exotic faces can be that of Cher, Sofia Loren and Anjelica Houston. Angelina Jolie. They are all white. Lucy Liu is Asian with an exotic face. Zhang Zi Yi is also Asian but she has a classic face, not exotic. Aishwarya Rai is another non-white and she has a purely romantic face, I don't see her features as being exotic. Just imo.
Thank you for saying this. I always feel like such an anomaly because I have a naturally large bust, yet my frame is quite small, and so no matter what system it is (bras, clothing sizes in general, or this Kibbe body typing system...), it is really hard to find any ready-made thing that fits me right because for some reason people seem to think that there is no way an otherwise smallish person can have large breasts.
@@neoizm This is me also. What body type do you consider yourself to be?
@@Pearlaceous I think i have categorized myself as flamboyant gamine, though I do still sometimes wonder. However that seems to fit me the best, I think. Even though all the examples of flamboyant gamines I can find online have either medium or small busts, but I guess my genetics are just weird hahahah.
I always wondered what body type I fell into since the usual 'hourglass' 'apple' 'triangle' body type shapes never really helped me. But these are so helpful! I'm a soft dramatic.
Thank you ))) WOw awesome!
I'm inbetween romantic and theatrical romantic!
Ruby-Lou me too!
When I took the quiz, I couldn't tell if I was a Natural mixed with Classic, or a Dramatic classic, but this new explanation cleared it up: I'm a perfect "Soft Dramatic," every description, down to the "will not have" is me 100%
STILL WATERS i felt that way too but im deff not soft dramatic im 5'4 :/
i have long fingers and boxy hands and a sharp nose but my legs and arms are pretty symetrical and i look my best in strapless dresses with a waist emphasis, i assume thats a classic dress. and my face is pretty balanced 🤷🏼♀️
oh and i gain weight in the mid section
If only I look like Scarlett... It's so weird to be in the same body type as her. >.
I love how in every film you explain so many things that are actually simple, but people don't know that! Thanks for filming :*
Thank you )))
Will you also make a video which suggests which type of clothes you should wear when you have a certain body type?
Yes - tomorrow ))
Dramatic classic. Thank you so much for this series! It has helped me understand my body so much more than just going by a vague "pear shape" label.
Thank you very much ))
I just wanted to let you know how much your body types series has helped me with my self image. I've learned that my body is just that, a body. Not one that determines my beauty, but one that I can use to enhance it.
This is so helpful! I can definitely confirm I’m a soft gamine. I could never tell what I was with the extreme “hourglass, banana, apple, pear” posts that made me think I could be all. But this really boiled it down. Thanks!
So all this time I've been pursuing a figure I just can't have because of my type (gamine)...thanks fashion world!
Could you do a haircuts for body types? I would love that!
i'm either a romantic or soft gamine - can you elaborate on the differences?
thanks so much for making these types of videos, aly. they're really helpful. it's incredible how just changing a piece of clothing here or there can really flatter or UNflatter a figure
Romantics where ya at?(:
The very first time I am able to pinpoint my own body type. I am a typical romantic bodytype. Your videos are amazing! Because of my body type I had no idea how to dress because normal cloths makes me look short and fat. When I dress fitted, people always are confused because I am heavyier then I look. But your video on the fashion for the bodytypes makes so much sense to me, thank you so much!
i'm a soft natural! i never realized how similar my body and scarlett johansson's look
is there a male version of this? i always see & hear about female body types and what is better for them to wear, but i dont see this for males. I've always struggled trying to get clothes that fits me right or look good on me. most males have this naturally broad, muscular body type and the clothes that they wear would not look good on me.
The system is for men too
Whatevashappening half of this is about bust and curves..?
Guys need to look at shoulder to waist differential, as opposed to curves.
My husband found that the channel Real men Real style with Antonio help him dress for his body type
Aly just published two videos about men body types, if you are still interested
Yeeeessss! I love these videos 😭 Thank you so much for bringing this philosophy to TH-cam.. I think you're the first one :)
Thank you )))
I’m 5’5 and a half, soft and fleshy, but with narrow curves...a theatrical romantic with ingenue essence. My head is slightly large and my cheeks slightly puffy and rounded, so I look abit more soft gamine in the face (especially with weight gain). The first time I found out about Kibbe years ago, I immediately typed myself as soft natural because I liked the bohemian style and long, loose hairstyles...I didn’t understand the system back then, and used to look sloppy and shapeless, like my clothes were too big for me, and my hair looked messy in those long, tousled Natural styles (I cringe looking at those older pics). A year ago, I re-read Kibbe, went to a Kibbe Forum, showed them my pictures, and they told me to try Soft Gamine. Soft Gamine clothes looked abit childish on my body, even though the make-up and accesories looked good. Short lines and color blocks are not that flattering on my delicate hourglass figure, looks awkward, like I’m trying to be cute. Next I tried Soft Classic, and the clothes looked much better on me than Soft Gamine or Soft Natural. Atleast it didn’t hide my body shape...but it also didn’t enhance it. It was fine, but looked a bit plain on me...the detailing, make-up and accesories needed to be stepped up a little. So finally I tried Theatrical Romantic, and it was a perfect match :) the only thing is, it’s not easy to find budget-friendly and stylish clothes for theatrical romantic or romantic types! Most of the clothes you find in stores are more geared towards Natural types, Classics and Gamines...but especially Naturals (no wonder I wanted to be a Soft Natural back then). Anyway, I would never have guessed that I was a TR myself, infact I didn’t think I could be a romantic because I’m not super curvy. My hips are just moderate size and they even get slightly narrow when I lose weight, they are soft and only slightly rounded, not at all flared, wide or lush like romantics. My waist is curved only slightly as well, not super defined, not tiny, just moderate and maybe slightly narrow...I get love handles first when I gain weight, but I also gain weight evenly everywhere, even the face. I am overall abit narrow/smallish in bone structure, small wrists and ankles, narrow hands and feet, but evenly soft and fleshy everywhere. I have Dramatic Yang in my prominent collarbones, slightly straight shoulders and high cheekbones, but everything else is mostly Yin (the flesh and ‘smallish’ look), with a few balanced features (nose, lips, waist, hips). So if anyone is confused about their type, I hope my story can help you and inspire you to try out different styles till you find your type.
Where are the flamboyant naturals? 😊😄
Petran Assunco I think I am that type but I am not sure 🤣
natural or FN, unclear
but I think that is a spectrum so it's fine and I am just aiming to learn both
I don’t know if I’m natural or flamboyant natural?
I feel like every single one except for the dramatic is "will NOT be extremely tall". I'm very tall but definitely not dramatic.
I'm 5'10" but with a wasp waist, curvy hips, long legs, defined shoulders and a soft and symmetrical, classic face. And btw my bmi is on the lower end of ideal. I really don't know what I am.
Can you please help me?
CCCCCCCCCCCCC Similar here! I'm 5'9", but my waist is smaller than my hips with a noticeable "hourglass like" definition. I have always been tall and very lean. I have a small chest, small feet, a small rounded nose, and round eyes. I don't know what I am 🙄
A lot of the listed celebrities don't fit the definition perfectly. Candice Swanepoel has an insanely small waist/curvy bone structure but was placed in flamboyant natural. Rihanna is 5'8" and has very large hands and feet but was placed in theatrical romantic. There is so much variation in human appearance that it's impossible to contain perfectly in 13 types, its' just to get an idea.
Yes, just like Aly said, it's not an exact science, just make the test (it really helps) and see in which category you are leaning most to.
Answer all questions, watch all the videos and you will definitely find your categorie! Hope this helps! 😉
to me your description sounds like a soft natural, they have some softness to them but they are on the leaner side and have not overly dramatic faces for example jennifer lawrence she is tall but has still soft curves....at least this would be my guess :)
Tinka Grujić Thanks. But I did the test and it came out all over the place. I got a-4, b-2, c-2, d-5, e-3 😞confusing
I'm somewhere between Natural, Classic, Flamboyant Gamine...
I stuck between the romantic types and the soft gamie I need help still 😂😂😂
This is me! It says I have a bit of flamboyant romantic too. But those are the soft gamine aspects. So romantic, soft gamine I am. I am now focusing on fashion aspects that overlap. My hair is 100% dramatic. So I will focus on styles that work with that.
Can't tell if I'm a theatrical romantic or a soft classic
Based on this I think I'm more of a natural type, this series and your entire channel is so interesting and informative, thank you so much omg
I'm definitely a sofy gamine. And you're right, I do feel overweight all the time, no matter how much I lose. subscribed!
I really love this series, thanks for the tips dear 💋
Thank you )))
This series are very good and interesting Aly. Thank you so much! Greetings from Turkey!
Thank you )))

This is so hard for me to do. I study fashion and feel like I can easily identify these types on other people but I have been unable to figure my own type out for years! I have seen these videos many times since they were posted and I am unsure if it if because of my Body Dysmorphic Disorder or if I am actually just weird. Im average-tall and generally fit the natural category however my waist is small and defined and my hips rounded especially from the side view. Yet my bone structure, shoulders arms and such are very broad, strong and blunt. I have a small head and large body but have small wide hands and feet. I have a full bustline and smooth hipline. I feel like I must some kind of natural (maybe soft I dont know) but look like a very tall romatic from behind and side angles. I wish I could use all this helpful information on myself not just others.
are you me from another universe? you literally just described my EXACT proportions. i think i'm stuck between soft classic and soft dramatic, but neither category seems to fit right
@@nadia-bg5uy I feel you ahaha good luck to us both trying to figure this out!
Have you tried finding what clothes, hair and makeup looks better on you? I only knew I was a Yin body type, so I compared SC, SG, TR and R lines, took pictures to compare, and now I'm pretty sure I'm a TR although I can't really "see" the Yang undercurrent in me. There's also a Kibbe subreddit where you can submit your pictures for the community to guess.
After watching all of these videos
I did my best to look at my body as a shape, and nothing more
I figured I was a classic (makes sense)
The harder part was figuring out if I was soft or dramatic
So I tested what clothing "should" look better on me
and with quarantine, I now see how my body collects fat
Happy to say I'm confident that I am a soft classic!
Your channel is a really good find! 👍😊
I'm either a natural or a dramatic classic... Or something in between. I would love if you would make a video for each body type about what to wear and what not. That would be sooo helpful! Love your videos btw, i never skip a new video :) x
The struggle is real. I feel the same. Did you ever figure out which one you are?
Loved the video...
just one thing the word Slope is pronounced with a long O... similar to the word slow.
"slow-p"
"sl-oh-p"
I really can't tell if I am Theatrical Romantic, Soft Classic, Soft Natural or Soft Gamine
Love this! Discovered I’m a soft dramatic!!
salut ! please i wanna know the difference between "soft gamine " and "theatrical romantic " body type
thank you
Hello! TR is a woman, she's feminine, sophisticated and delicate in bones, and SG is angular in bones and more like a "girl"
Thank you so much now i can see the difference between TR and SG but it's up to me now to take a deep look at body to recognize its type because sometimes I see that I'm a theatrical romantic and sometimes a soft gamine ;)
Right! But look at your hands and feet. If they are delicate and feminine - you are TR.And if they are like a boyish, kind of square and a bit puffy or wide - and small then SG
yeyyy!!! So I'm a TR my hands and feet are delicate and feminine .
thank you so much
Hi! Please, what would be the difference between soft gamine and soft classic?
Your videos are so informative! Thank you for putting out videos 🤗
Thank you )))
I bet everyone going to try to say they "romantic" body type since curvy now became a body trend, where was this when y'all was dogging us a couple years back?? 😂😂
ikr
if Kim Kardashian is a romantic type then I don't want to be one. Kate Winslet though...
ablurida that’s kinda silly
@@ablurida she is a natural of some kind
I mean Kim K.
I looked up a bunch of tests on the Internet (all fake or very low effort) to try and get my type. I looked at this and found my type immediately from your description only.
This was really informative. In the future it would also be great to see examples from other ethnicities, because as an Asian gal I don’t think many of the very “sharp angular” features are relevant. :)
I think I am a Soft Dramatic. Loved your video.
Amazing! Thank you very much ))
Love this series, knowing yourself helps you to make smart decisions. Did you study Caygill?
No I love David Kibbe technology ))
Thank you for your Body Type series. It's so interesting. Me - Theatrical Romantic. What type of fashion would suite all those body types?
Thank you! Wow so cool! It will be in the next video
Soooo, I’m definitely Theatrical Romantic. Wow! The description and pictures were spot on! Thanks!
Thank you so much for your content. I have determined that I am a Flamboyant Natural. I originally thought I was a Dramatic Classic. It was hard to decide which one as I can see both sides. And it is so hard to see yourself clearly vs. what you admire or what you think you should be. Love you and your content. (You're a great singer, too!)
I am "soft natural" I quite like that. ☺️
Awesome!
Thanks for commenting back. I love your channel. :)
I feel like I'm soft classic but I'm 5'8 and still growing soooo
I think I have almost of soft classic saving my height, I'm like 1.53 cm
I loove this videos, they are different than other beauty videos (:
Thank you very much! Or you also could be soft gamine )
This finally helped me realized I am a soft natural 👍🏽 thanks!!!
most celebs are so unrecognizeable. Cameron Diaz on the beach looks like my grandpa on the beach
i just got to the third minute and i already feel much more insecure than before
whereisGabriela ikr
whereisGabriela why tho?
whereisGabriela huh. and to think it was just me.
Yeah why?
Why? TBH I watched her entire series and I haven't seen a single bodyshape that I disliked or that was presented as unflattering.
i don't know what i'm doing here i just saw jenna coleman in the thumbnail
In conclusion, i consider myself to be a body type mutt :)) great.
Hahaha, It’s so weird hearing you talk about a body type that describes me to the point! 😂 I’ve been trying to figure it out for a long time! Proud SD here! 🙋🏻♀️
Helena Persson I’ve been trying for ages, and went through a few types, but I’m pretty sure I’m an SD now.
I am natural. Thanks to David Kibbe I could understand and feel complete about my body type.
Soft gamine, except for my "exotic" nose lol. Thank you, Aly!
I feel like I'm flamboyant natural but I'm taller than 5'11 e.e
Wow I love your height
Scarlett Richards same, like I'm 5'7 and I feel more like a romantic.
Scarlett Richards I have boyish figure but big boobs and I'm short what am i?
Im 180 cm ( 6') and I'm classic. There are always exceptions. I got 10-c from 15.
I'm closest to Soft Natural! Thank you!!
Literally best description I've ever seen
Soft dramatic it is 😍
Being tall and voluptuous (185cm/6 ft tall, having an E cup bust, a tighter waist and thicker tights) I thought something was not right, because I didn't see other women look like I do
I didn't know that there was a type for my body
Now I feel so much better that I'm normal and not weird, and am actually looking like I should (not overweight doe my kilos are 78)
I'm still not sure about my body type.
I’m even more confused
Aaaah me either all I know is that I'm mushy and soft
i think we need a video showing and explaining what these describing words mean, its kinda like a new language 😦
Someone help me out here because I can't decide:
I'm 6ft talk
My face has very soft edges
Not much structure, relatively big lips and eyes
When I put in weight it goes to my belly and thighs
When I'm skinny my shoulders are broad and angular
My hips are slightly wider than my waist
I have very long legs and arms, hands and feet are big
Help me out :) Wow if I'm ever wanted for a crime this is all they'd need 😂
Quite possibly soft dramatic or soft natural - have you taken her test video? It's in a playlist on her main channel page. Hope that helps!
Your face looks very dramatic. You sure are on the dramatic side.
OMG been obsessed with finding my body type...I think you video finally helped me after taking 3 tests watching a thousand videos.I am a soft gamine...yeah!!!!!! I look awesome w short pixie 5 1 1/2. square jaws but soft.broad shoulder but soft not too much of a waistline.i am a bit tom boyish and feminine at the same time....the bubble pic of me here is my natural grey I am 55.but everyone say I look younger.that hairstyle is gone hair seems to take over.i look way more proportioned w little hair....Thank you for helping me see after all these years my body.....Now let's change the wardrobe...
I look into Kibbe's system and personally find it the most useful tool so far in styling. Aly Art's educational channel on this topic is one of the sources that I learn a lot from. I would like to bring up a few points about the system that are confusing, contentious or overlooked.
First, it is NOT a complete system. Kibbe system evaluates an individual by three dimensions - line types (angular, blunt, round, blended), height (tall, blended or medium, short), frame dominant or body dominant or blended. Mathematically that gives rise to 4 x 3 x 3 = 24 types. So 11 types are missing in the Kibbe system. This in part explains the existence of derivative Kibbe systems, such as a blend of multiple Image IDs, or creation of new types like "short dramatic". This is also why some TH-camr like Merriam Style proposes styling a person specifically for the three dimensions without naming the overall combination of the underlying dimensions (the Image ID). It not only simplifies the system, but also makes it mathematically and practically complete.
Another contentious point pertains to the influence of age and weight to image ID. Obviously absent surgergical interventions, one's line type and height do not change much with age and weight. But one loses collagen substantially as one ages creating a more gaunt face. For any aged individual on the more gaunt end of the spectrum, harsh light would cast the shadow similar to the face of a Dramatic regardless of her image IDs when young. It is not a stretch to say everyone coming out of a starvation camp (see photos of Minnesota Starvation Experiment and Holocast) looks frame dominant as there is negligible body fat. Similarly everyone mobidly obese look body dominant. Examples on the extreme ends of the spectrum shed light on the fact that age and weight do impact one being frame or body dominant. The subtley is those around the mid range of the spectrum may still maintain the same frame or body dominant characteristic as they age and weight change. Many of the examples of overweight and underweight individuals Aly Art give fall within this range.
There is the position that since Kibbe designs the Kibbe system, his diganosis of an individual's image ID should therefore be absolute. As the architect of the system himself, Kibbe's opinion certainly carries much weight. If we take Kibbe Image ID as his personal take on individuals, then his opinion by definition is his/her Kibbe Image ID. But if we take Kibbe Image ID as a systemic school of thought, then the diagnosis of an individual's image ID should be based on the rules he defined. It is like DSM states the diagnostic rules of mental disorders. Diagnosis is based on the defined rules, not the opinions of specific famous psychologists for certain mental disorders even though they as heavyweights of the field carry much weight in their opinion.
what do you mean by exotic facial features?
i was wondering
like alien or something, it is hard do explain... you have to ''get it''.
ah like the alien girl from moisturizing adds
like high cheekbones or something
yep, very angular. They usually don't have ''bland'' features but very expressive ones.
can u do a brows series?
I will!
All these people say they don't know what they are from this, you need to watch the quiz video!
the quiz just confused me more lol
I've watched it multiple times and done it multiple times over the course of a year but I have ties which Kibbe's scoring system doesn't address.
Hmm, I got a balance of c and d which is theatrical romantic yet I’m 5ft8, have longer arms and shoulders aren’t sloping. Confused!
Hi, Aly! I appreciate your work. I'm rewatching this. 🤗
I FINALLY FOUND WHICH BODY TYPE I AM!!!
Thank you Aly.
