I'm a dramatic classic 😅 or a classic.im confused

[@insomnia6233]

It's pretty interesting to note that weight loss can drastically change the way you percieve your own type. Of course your type never actually changes but your perception does. All this time I thought I'm a soft natural but after losing 15 pounds I can definitely clearly see that I'm actually a soft dramatic

[@tinad8561]

I know. Had you asked me 10 years ago I would have said “classic”, but 20 pounds later I’ve squared up through the middle and top and not at all through the hip & thigh, which I gather is a Natural thing.

[@rebekahnewman3876]

@@tinad8561 Not necessarily. There are some good videos about kibbe and weight on YT, I think Aly has a recent one! Look at the prime example of January Jones and imagine her with 30 lbs heavier. She might look boxy in her hips, she might gain weight in different areas. She won’t look very lush though, and her bones won’t gain any VISUAL weight to them, and her vertical line won’t change... but she could still look boxy, which is how a lot of people gain weight! The shapes and measurements don’t dictate image ID, but yin yang balance does.

[@nikolettasedziak5506]

Yes! When I was underweight I thought that I'm Dramatic. Now I know that I'm Soft Dramatic in my healthy weight.

[@nikoletta3855]

Yeah I have a really hard time telling my type because, while I'm not overweight, my fat to mass ratio is relatively high (I need to work out basically). I think I'm a soft classic but idk, I have a very hourglass shape which confuses me

[@Keapix]

Interesting. I’ve been hovering between SN and SD. People describe width in naturals, so I assumed SN, but I think my width is just coming from my flesh.

[@carabara84]

Yes - hearing all of the more detailed types compared to the others really helps me understand. I still don't quite know what I am...

[@bethanyday3471]

look. i'll help you out. give me your answers to the kibbe quiz. break the answers up into these categories: face bones, skeleton, facial feature/flesh, and the bodies flesh. and post a link with some photos of you. it is really important that i know where on the quiz you got your answers because just saying i got 4 A, 4 B, 4 D, 4 E can put you in several different categories. I also prefer seeing the answer to the hair question a long with the pics.

[@AAAFFF01]

Same here...not sure if I am soft Natural - soft classic - dramatic classic..pls continue :-)

[@vvv-kj3le]

Yeah, I've decided I'm a soft classic. I'm too fleshy to be classic, but not curvy enough to be romantic. I look good in more youthful and feminine clothing than the traditional classic feminine style. One way to tell is if you have a normal to low body fat percentage, but you still have baby fat. Pinterest is really helpful to compare the types btw!! I'm always going to be second guessing my type though, I wish someone could just tell me. Ahh

[@mirecek0210]

@@vvv-kj3le i see what you mean. I FEEL like a theatrical romantic, but I still question it. It doesn't really impact my life, but it is quite fun to explore all the possibilities and learn more about the system.

[@mirecek0210]

Also, I remeber from one of the first videos you made about Kibbe's IDs, you mentioned that he also described *behaviour* / *essence* / personality traits / movements of their bodies and faces (wow, I really cannot remember what exact words you used, something along these lines) and it would be so interesting to get more in depth about this! 😇😇

[@di3486]

I feel like a crazy woman on the street when I try to explain how bad I look with warm colors, particularly on the eyes. #greenpeopleproblems

[@Furylamb]

I have olive skin and dark features and recently discovered that any warm tone colors will naturally make your skin and features glow. such as your eyes, if you have dark eyes or (warm tone eyes) and want them to pop and light up in the sun then wear gold jewlery! Don't do silver unless you have cool tones skin. As for clothes all i used to wear was dark shades which was basically always black clothes. Now when I shop I look for emerald greens, pink peach, orange, dark red, brown, warm yellow and purple which surprisingly looks good. Don't wear pastel or cool colors. For makeup eyeshadow I use green, brown or gold ish tones and sometimes silver. for lips use a light pink or dark red. And of course blush, perhaps pink and red. As I said I recently discovered there are ways too make your skin and features look beautiful without makeup, now I'm spending hours in the sun and color coding my clothes, so I'm no expert but I hope it helps 😅

Wonderful video! Regarding your question: I think finishing up the series of the "BODYTYPE X VS other "BODY TYPES" would be good and then I'd LOOOOVE to see style videos of the types, to be more precise, style ideas for this fall/autumn or winter and how the specific body types could style themselves.. so basically style videos of body types vs. trends winter/2020.

[@NerdyNerdUHeard]

or how one single outfit could look good for "gamine/neutral/classic.." and what little twists one could use to make it work for their body type.

[@jia_zheng]

This series is so helpful! Would also love to see how each body type can optimize looking their best in photos. For example with classics in this video, it seems like modest poses are well suited for their essence, but soft dramatics can pull off that sultry look because of their more prominent features. How would classics pull off that same sultry look in their own way?

@@vickicocosolo2099 It actually makes sense to have an idea of what suits you in terms of personal style. For instance, I am 5'2" and weigh 104 with a straight shoulder length bob. I love gypsy bohemian clothing and used to buy them but then looked ridiculous. However, in simple jeans, tshirts, button downs, etc., I look great. Classic styles are exactly what I look best in. That realization has saved me a lot of money and time and allowed me to have a personal look that works for me. I probably would have figured this stuff out for myself eventually but understanding the reason why certain things look good and others don't appeals to me. Plus, it's fun!
