The one styling trick ALL GAMINES should master!

[@ZurditaDinamita]

"I feel more feminine wearing turtleneck and trousers". Ok, I see there's a common gamine thing 😂 My facial features are more yang than yin, and when I wear funky lipstick or glamorous makeup... I look like a total boy 😂 It makes all my angles and sharp forms to sTaNd oUt so much. A "less girly" makeup makes me look surprisingly more "feminine".

[@franibeard]

So freeing to realize these things, huh? 😂

[@furrriosa]

This is my favourite phrase from the video, haha. So do I. I feel more feminine in hoodies and trousers. I understood it several years ago but hadn't been understanding why for years 😁 now it's clear

[@EArgent]

Same, I look like I'm trying out Drag makeup even when I'm just wearing a little bit too much eyeshadow :D

[@Weeping_lover]

I am also FG But I have the most yin in my face lol.... Merriam typed me having romantic (Ying) facial features along with inuenge and ethereal essence..so i kinda can wear Romantic outfits, and romantic makeup suits me more but FG outfits are to die for😩

[@brittney3156]

Same!

[@robopkins]

You really put it into words about not necessarily feeling the most feminine in flowery, frilly clothing. It makes me feel like I'm in drag tbh, even though I like the style it just makes me feel self-conscious about how it doesn't suit me. But I feel awesome in my dungarees 🤷

Growing up, Audrey Hepburn and Twiggy were two of the style icons I emulated and I’ve always been drawn to more structured clothes. When I came across the Kibbe body types, I was so validated in my style choices. Thank you for sharing your style journey and for providing so many tips. I’m excited to learn even more style elements that are flattering for flamboyant gamines. 💕

[@kaalad3666]

Just wanted to share my experience. A while back in my country there was a trend of girls my age (early 20s age group) wearing like a camisole or bodysuit tucked into high waisted jeans. I loved the way it made them look...like mature and womanly, so ofc I tried it and was so disappointed cuz I just looked like a childish rectangle 🤦🏽‍♀️ I never tried tucking in my tops after that lol. Now, armed with my Kibbe knowledge, I realise that it was because those girls were CURVY and I am not. It really opened my eyes to how our body type impacts how our clothes look on us. Like I said, I only realised this other day when I was trying to dress to my FG lines. Turns out a tucked in top, bloused over looks amazing on me. If you're an FG definitely look into tops with a boxy silhouette, or create one by tucking in and blousing over. It's magic 😄

[@franibeard]

I totally feel this! Anytime I wear a camisole or t-shirt now, it's tucked and bloused to create a squarish shape at my waist. Works wonders. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@tammylawson3376]

The tucking in of my tops has given me my figure back!!! I love it!!! My daughter dresses like you. She is probably soft gamine. I'm really liking that high-waisted look on myself. My legs seem two inches longer! I'm trying to not wear the long-tailed cardigans and find boxy, squarish shaped ones now. Prices in Goodwill have increased. Sigh!!!! I finally figured out my style and now I can't buy much.... I picked up three graphic tees today. One of these is cropped-- and it looks perfect on my 52 year old body, lol!!!

[@romijane]

That happened to me with baggy jeans! I always wanted to pull them off. I had a friend that used to wear baggy jeans and long baggy shirts or sweaters and looked to cool cause it suited her. Then I would look like the clothes were swallowing me whole. It did nothing for me.

[@fishstixx9737]

[@africandaughter3110]

I am an enfp. I can really see how you being an infp lines up with your style. Me, personally, as a gamine and enfp feel like being a gamine gives me the best opportunity to show off my personality through patterns and color blocking. My skin likes beige and tan and apricot neutrals but it always looke off on me. It doesn't match the high energy I give off when you first meet me and it tends to throw people off... Currently on the process of trying to make my lines, colors and personality meet. Which means loke high patterns pants and skirts with like even colored tops that maybe lean more pastel. (I am a dark skin girl, darker than you, maybe olive toned btw). It's a struggle when I realized I loved bright colors but they just washed me out... TT Also currently trying to grow put my hair to Bob length (I have an afro, 4c hair). It's a struggle. I don't look my best with my close cut hair). Anyway, thanks for this video. It really helps me out. :)

Great job in simplifying it ! My default is a high waisted , grey, flared, cropped jean with buttons showing, ankle chunky boots and a turtle neck. If it's cold I'll add a bright pattern sweater and tuck it in so I don't cover the buttons. And as I listened to you, I was like: yeah, check, check, check! No wonder it works. oh! and usually colorful socks that show a bit between the boot and the jean. I get lot's of compliments and my non-gamine friends always say: I would look like a clown if I wore that !

[@lahnavanderbush4818]

Love the t shirt over the floral dress! For me I tend to stick to structured pants and a sweater. I tend to avoid very fitted clothing and thin material. I just have so much Yang in my body it doesn’t look great to wear tight clothes even though that is recommended for gamines. Since I have a bit of broadness( natural) in my upper body I can get away with a bit of oversized tops. I feel the same way in “feminine” clothes. I feel like I’m wearing a costume.

[@franibeard]

Ooo good advice for your flavor of FG. Love a good sweater + structured pants combo too.

[@ren.2374]

[@peggy-sue-reads-a-book]

Very helpful. I’ve been mistyping as a flamboyant gamine for awhile when in fact I’m at a dramatic classic. Because DC is also color blocked, and because your style is simple and understated, it translates. Most of your outfits would fit a DC if you were to change the hemlines to flatter a taller woman and balance the proportions of the top and bottom elements.

[@franibeard]

Yes! Good points. I thought I was dramatic classic for a minute when I first discovered Kibbe.

[@peggy-sue-reads-a-book]

@@franibeard It's confusing! a friend turned me on to you because we look alike at first glance. But I'm a couple inches taller and when you break down your answers, you've got more contrast. It can take a minute to find the right type!

I know I must be a gamine but not sure whether I'm soft or flamboyant. But I discovered a couple of years ago that I look so much more put together wearing sundresses with a button-down shirt over (instead of a cardigan or shrug) with shirt tied at waist, sleeves rolled up & collar sharp. Contrast of angles up top contrasted with the softer line below echoes my body (sharper up top & a-hem softer down below) 😊

My go to outfit: crop top (or tucked in top) with hight waist straight leg trousers. Most of the times the top has a high neckline and short or 3/4 sleeves. I add sneakers or my Dr Martens. I wear a slightly oversized wool blazercoat overneath, or a long straight line black leather coat (90s vintage). In the winter I most often wear an oversized or loosfitted knitted sweater with a pair of skinny suede trousers (real leather so they keep me warm) and my doctor martens with a warm ski-like jacket that is also a straight-lined . In the summer I wear sleeveless crop tops with a square neckline, V neckline or high neck line with high waisted but loose fitted shorts. Or I wear a fitted minidress with high neckline. I pair my summer outfits with some simpel leather strap sandels. I have a loose blazer or a vintage 70s slightly oversized striped denim jacket.

The "opposites in silhouette" and "tight fitting" + something long and loose (eg a scarf) modes have always been my styles. I was lucky to have happened upon my flamboyant gamine style long before I knew what it was. But it's so validating to hear that that's officially what I "should" be wearing.

Thank you for this video and all the tips! I finally figured out I’m a soft gamine today and all the outfit tips you said make so much sense!! I thought of all my favorite outfits and what I feel the best and most feminine in, and those are the ones you talked about such as breaking the lines, color blocking, high neck shirts etc. I subconsciously gravitate those. Then I thought about what kind of clothes don’t feel right or feel flattering on me, and it was similar to the outfits you talked about at the end. PS. I’m a INFP too!

Thank you for showing the dress and the difference the sweater/tee makes! I'm stuck between soft classic and soft gamine and that may help me distinguish better! I'm also an INFP, but thought I was an INFJ for a long time. Hmm maybe indecision is a pattern with me 😅

[@SHines-qk9qj]

I am also wondering about soft classic vs soft gamine for me. And I am an INFJ for sure. Did you ever figure out the classic vs the gamine? I seem soft classic except I am 5'1". I don't like loud contrast and color blocking, I do like to dress in menswear (love waistcoats!) if I can find things small enough (or if I sew them myself). The suggestions of using contrast of line and texture is interesting and helpful. Can you address hair? I've always like messy wavy hair but mine is fairly fine and straight. Right now it's elbow-length and I'm wondering if this drags me down? I look awful in a pixie or even really short bobs. Seems most gamines have short hair?

[@SHines-qk9qj]

Oh, and I am 69years old. So the "little girl" or "little boy" stuff just seems artificial now.

[@nataliefbehler]

@@SHines-qk9qj I'm still not totally sure, to be honest, but I lean heavily toward soft gamine, as it seems I have a straighter bone structure but softer flesh. I'm 5'3", so I'm right at the bottom of the height range. I've also turned down the volume quite a bit on my contrast and color blocking to avoid feeling overwhelmed or washed out, since I gave rather soft coloring. I wear my hair at shoulder length. It's very fine, and slightly wavy (the kind that ends up looking frizzy if I'm not careful). I prefer the slightly longer length on me. I've had a few very cute short hair cuts, and while they were nice and I got compliments, they didn't really feel authentic/natural to me. Longer than that looks more unkempt on me. I prefer soft waves over straight hair, but I rarely heat style so I usually am just going with my natural texture.

[@SHines-qk9qj]

@@nataliefbehler Thanks you for your response! I find with my long hair I need to have it styled, like in a braid or a bun. No heat styling here either. I have soft coloring too. It's fun to exchange ideas!

[@nataliefbehler]

@@SHines-qk9qj agreed! You might also look into John Kitchener's style essences. I have had some success with some ethereal/angelic styling, which I think fills the picture in more a little for our type of soft gamineishness. I'm 5'3", and though it's said that ethereal are often tall, I think it may be the elongated S shape that helps us out.

[@megnolia9234]

I love cropping or three quartering sleeve and pants ! also the tight / loose top bottom contrast. color blocking and gold or rose gold jewlery is the best for me ! I also have long hair that is pretty thick and wavy and I wlays put it in a specific dutch braids into low bun do and pull out my baby hair bc it curls in the front. its such a good flamgam hairstyle. but for me as long as my hair is pulled away at least a little bit from my face I can also pull of gamine looks with my hair down.

Fellow Infp here ☺️! Yes- my default settings also involves whatever makes me feel like a little pantsless fey child. My fave way to break up my lines is crop tops, shorter pants and deep vs. I also consider myself very femme but whenever I wear something too ruffled or stereotypically “womanly” I feel like I’m playing dress up. High heeled pumps make me feel like I’m 13 years old all over again and trying to look grown 😂 I feel my most feminine when I play up my silhouette and add something chunky- like fitted cropped pants, a bottom up tied at the waist and a pair of boots.

I disagree in the best possible way about that sage dress. I think ya beautiful on you and the synched waist breaks the line a little bit and the high low shows your long legs.

Thanks for your perspective! It's such a beautiful dress, and it has some elements that I enjoy. It's not that I see myself as masculine, just I don't feel as feminine in that dress compared to how I feel in other silhouettes. Thanks for seeing the beauty in it though! Love your ideas.

I just noticed that I love the big pants (usually some sort of cullete trouser) + tiny top combo or a straight midi skirt with a tiny top also. However, I feel like I lean more soft gamine and tend to prefer quite low v necklines over high necklines - maybe due to my bust size, high necks make me feel like I'm suffocating. Also, I'm currently wearing a all black midi dress but it is quite fitted to my body on the top and has a low neckline and I feel like it looks very nice on me.

2:43 Where did you get that green turtleneck?

[@SybilNix]

I typed myself as TR but when I posted to a group asking what they thought, they told me I fit FG. So I think it’s interesting how we both went for that specific style of dress - the creamy, small floral pattern in your second example. I have a dress that is the exact same length, a slight wrap style, the v-neck with the wrap style, the ribbon to tie on the side, the short sleeves! I love it but it’s not *perfect* lol I’m gonna try those alterations where you break the line!!

[@SybilNix]

I also survive in giant baggy t-shirts and slides or fuzzy socks lmfao And… am also an INFP Doppelgänger who??

[@andrefskyc]

INTJ and gamine. Give me those structured cropped pants, and a high neck line with three quarter sleeves, and clogs with simple jewelry. I never comment but this was just so so so dang accurate I couldn’t help myself.

[@franibeard]

So relatable! So glad you took the time to share!

[@rainywildflower]

I wear a lot of loose (usually solid) dresses with tight (fun printed) leggings. I am wondering if that fits with the opposites trick. The dresses are above knee - do dresses still work with breaking the line?

[@Susannah-Dean]

I get that you're not comfortable but that dress is beautiful on you even without the shirt o over it

[@phaneron]

You could wear your black dress with a giant funky retro belt and a bold color wide ankle boot. It would feel more balanced with minimal shaping added. And your other dress should go with a leather jacket and chunky boots imo.. have the main pieces of your outfits be more masculine, with feminine accents 👌

[@Dizzyknitsandcurls]

I wear a skater dress with a cropped cardigan

[@vertical.poetry]

"I feel like I should dress more feminine, I am a woman. But then when I wear those feminine lines, I look more masculine". This is literally the gamine experience in a nutshell. Its such a confusing paradox. "Masculine" pieces actually make make me look more feminine. I chopped my hair into a short, boyish pixie and my features have never looked softer or more feminine. Being a gamine is so strange. Styling is so so different, and fun, and confusing, and strange.

[@Misyeli]

I am soft gamine but inverted triangle at the same time :)

[@rose-mh1ry]

I avoided so many of your videos earlier just for no reason. Now that I hve seen you, heard you. You are very gorgeous and appealing. Just loved what you talked. I could relate to it a lot. ❤️ Much love to you :))

[@chibi-chan]

Do any of you know of any brands that are super high waisted? Cus im a fg with a long torso and shorter legs and arms, which results in most high waisted things ending under my actual waist and not on it

[@franibeard]

I have a pair from OZMA that work beautifully for my high rise. (You can use my affiliate code if you'd like- FRANI15) I've also seen super high rise pants from Jesse Kamm and Agolde, but I've never tried them. And lastly, I've found some at Target in the "juniors" section that hit just above my bellybutton which is quite impressive for a mainstream store/brand. I hope this helps!

[@gbosonnet]

Heres one for you. I look my best in flamboyant gamine lines. But I'm almost 5,8" I'm a mixture of B and D on the kibbe test, so possible gamine. But my height hints I might be a natural, but I look horiffic in draped oversized lines.

[@franibeard]

I will always tell you to wear what makes you feel your best, whatever makes you feel confident and vibrant. Start there and trust yourself.

[@ZurditaDinamita]

Hi dear! Dramatic classic here, and I love wearing flamboyant gamine lines too. I don't know if the reason is my head/face (which I think is more gamine/teenager-ish), but I look like a boring, muted girl with DC lines. FG makes me really shine ✨

[@julietteariel]

Great video!!!!!!!!

[@gabrielle.j]

I wonder if that black dress would work with some corset-style top over it? Not sure if that’s the look you’re going for, but I thought I’d mention it 😊

[@franibeard]

Ooo cool idea! That might give it more structure.

[@bny1337]

I am only 158 or 160.i have small hands and feet. I have big wide face. High cheekbones. I have slightly big burst but not very wide shoulders. I have a strong belly. I get weight on my belly first and my boobs and my back and my face. I dont know what type I can be. TR, SN, or SG. I have strong nose and soft small lips. I have moderate eyes. Slightly Archy eyebrows.

[@bigoledork]

What is the style of trouser you're wearing at 3.03 please?

[@klasssno]

I’m still on my Kibbe journey and trying to figure out if I am in the Natural, Romantic, or Gamine family (which sounds crazy honestly), BUT…… I’m also an INFP and I vibe 100% with wanting to be barefoot all the time. it’s just better

[@hassanilyas5898]

Personally, i think the long dress suits you... Idk y i think this way.. But i think when the light fabric touches your body (and mine too) when we wear it and walk, i can see my curves. Though my hip bone is not rounded but the clinching caused by the waist (though dropped) show my bones so well, i like this when I walking and looking at my own thighs, which I always do 😂🙈 fellow gamine.

[@classicalgarden7064]

Hi, can you cover Esperanza Spalding’s Gamine style? 🌸

[@erikavin7025]

where do you buy your clothes? its so hard to find clothes for my height and size (5'0, 95 pounds)

[@KangTaemi]

Honestly when I was watching your videos my first thought was ENFJ, or ESFJ,. Now I'm leaning more towards ISFJ or INFJ

[@soulieobelissevan]

Infp flam gam here too! Sox

[@everbejoyful]

I am not a gamin but I love your videos and your style. So unique and beautiful. Do you know of a KZbinr who makes videos like yours for naturals? Thanks!

[@franibeard]

Thanks so much! I don't, actually. If anyone knows of a channel like this, I'd love for you to share!

[@ang5798]

Is it weird if seeing that a broken line suits my very moderate body very well is what made me realize I'm probably some type of gamine..? I'm also an INFP lol, did the test 3 times and always got the same results, despite being in different stages of my life

[@socratesandstorybooks1109]

If Im a soft Gamine do you think long hair looks bad even if its wavy/curly?

[@chanelh.8993]

No . Not at all it probably has a mermaid effect . Dont cut your hair !
