Building Personal Style from Ground Zero | Roadmap to Your Signature Style

[@notaclue822]

I'd love another video on masculine vs feminine facial features please and thank you.

[@merrillsunderland8662]

I love the channel name. Absolutely encapsulates all the videos you’ve done. You aren’t telling other people what style to adopt based on what’s on trend; you’re giving people the tools to figuring out a style that can be authentically theirs that will weather the seasons

[@stylerefinement]

Yayyy happy to hear the new name is working!

[@AzraBrooks]

what was the old name now again? Didn't realize it changed haha

[@cherryflutterr]

​@@AzraBrooks style me jenn

[@---tc8km]

Also the new name tells you that you are not going to get the basic info you can get in every youtube video. I believe this name is for an audience that already knows theit stuff but want to “refine” and perfect their knowledge or newbies that are not happy with a “you are this -> wear that”. They will get the basics with a lot of depth and reasoning and that will be more enriching than any basic video on style basics

[@lilya7110]

I miss the original channel name. Jenn has contributed so much value to the conversation and deserves to be recognized by name as an expert

[@sylvieplath9726]

You are so right about classifications and tags. Our mind wants a simple, unique answer but in style, like in many other things in life, there is no straight answer but a lot of nuances, and Cate Blanchet is a great example, now that I can see her through your eyes. And I must add I am very grateful for finding your channel, but I LOVE to hear your "stay unique, stay gorgeous" at the end. Always look forward for it

[@zigm7420]

This makes so much sense! As someone who skews more youthful, but with a combination of feminine and masculine, it totally explains why two of my top three essences are ingenue and gamine, why I’ve always felt at ease with my bright spring palette, but somewhat conflicted about the Soft Dramatic recommendations. Also why I always felt like I was playing dress-up every time I tried corporatecore traditional office wear.

[@yensid4294]

I always thought that Kate Blanchette got the "ethereal" label because she played Galadriel in the LOTR films. If you've seen *any* of her Red Carpet looks, she is much edgier/dramatic than that in her personal style. Same with Tilda Swinton.

[@raraavis7782]

You got a point there. She just imprinted herself in all our consciousnesses as Galadriel, the ethereal elven queen. Of the examples given in the video, I personally liked her much more in the shiny, black pantsuit than the pastel colored ones. Although admittedly she herself must disagree with this, as she seems to favor these colors. But to me, that first outfit just had a 'wow factor', the others didn't have.

[@madmoony6]

To be fair, she wouldn’t have been cast as Galadriel in the first place if she didn’t have that Ethereal quality. Casting directors typically choose actors who very much “look” the part.

Yes, please to an updated facial gender breakdown

[@gigglegrl7405]

This explains a lot! I recently tried on some mature outfits with more structure and they fit ok but did not really seem like "me". I also tried on one more softer but form fitting "feminine" outfit and wow it really did seem like me. I also have tried a dress that was lacy and form fitting but in a cool and muted palette when I am warm and pretty bright and it did not look as bad as some things I have tried in "my colors" but were too baggy or masculine looking on me. Thanks. That really clarifies things.

[@stylerefinement]

I’m glad you found it helpful 🫶 What you mentioned about wrong colour in the right style vs right colour in the wrong style is exactly the point!

I love this video bcz you talked about the reality of the situation the majority of us live in... It's not that easy to find and shop our dream wardrobe , not even on line! I think it's a very long process that needs to take time and effort and money! ❤💜

[@juhiparikh3294]

I love your work in general but this is one of your best! I really like that you address practical considerations in shopping for clothes and then provide a guideline to prioritize. It's super useful

[@stylerefinement]

Aw thank you so much! Glad you liked the video 💕

[@Dorkella_]

This video helped me realize that I have completely disregarded the print suggestions for my season and that it's not a bad thing. I'm a Deep/Dark Winter but have an ingenue/youthful essence, so the suggested large patterns for my season just look off. I've been leaning into high contrast, small floral prints, and I've never been happier! I think it's a happy medium and fits well with the style I'm exploring right now, which is kinda cutesy/girly, witchy, and casual. Fits my playful personality, too.

[@---tc8km]

Same here!!! I used to feel like “i was doing it wrong” but for some reason the dainty cutesy things made more sense then bigger more serious patterns. In fact, if i’d follow up that advice to a T, i’d look like i am trying to dress up as an adult

[@michmash7888]

I like this, a lot! I’ve really enjoyed thinking about coloring as 3 continuums, instead of 4/12/16 season boxes. So this approach really appeals to me! However, I am 55 years old (and although that may seem ancient!) I usually enjoy wearing a trendy/artsy/whimsical piece (like a bold piece of jewelry or silver sneakers or a graphic T) with everything else being relatively sedate/classic. (I teach at a university, so I can get away with that sort of wardrobe). What I’m saying is that-from my age-Youthful-Mature might not be as good end points as some other descriptors you used. But I really enjoy how you are re-thinking categories that have been around for decades! Thanks!

[@suzanschneider6163]

Really helpful! Kate Blanchett is an excellent example through out the video. I like the simplicity of your quadrant graphic while also taking in consideration body type, essence, facial-read, etc. Thank you for another awesome video.

[@stephaniestylianou9129]

This is my fav color, cut, and style on you! Looks gorgeous!

[@elizabethr.7404]

Great video! I really like this perspective. I think I fall pretty squarely in the middle, maybe leaning just slightly masculine and youthful. What I take away is that I look best when I don’t lean in to any of the extremes. Subtlety is my sweet spot. For what it’s worth, I also think I am a dramatic classic in the kibbe system and have classic with some gamine essence in the Kitchener system. 😊

[@Carrie-sgda]

I love this , it helps organise the knowledge I have about myself to make things appear more clear and simplified instead of scattered. Thank you. I would definitely say I'm somewhere in-between youthful-feminine and mature-feminine . I have tried all kinds of styles , boyish and masculine styles seem to look separate from me . Youthful feminine can work really well on me if everything is narrow and small and there aren't too many frills and things ,it has to be balanced . Mature feminine looks great on me with the midi / midi-maxi lengths and I think that's why I can't handle too much youthful feminine details . This aligns with my essences and kibbie i.d and luckily my DA CS

[@sussie9895]

Wow that was brilliant!! So simple and incorporates our personality and preferences too. Looking forward to more!

[@MsCaramella91]

This video was so helpful!! I've been feeling somewhat lost with my wardrobe over the past year, and I've been mired in body type systems and color analysis as a way to inform myself and make more intentional decisions with the clothes I bring into my space. This approach simplifies things and makes wardrobe-building much less overwhelming!

[@vp5815]

I love your hair and makeup! That subtle red tinge looks really nice on you.

[@g3andrea]

Such good content from you in this video (as always)! I sort of intuitively knew what worked for me at younger ages, and in different phases of my life. One other thought I must consider now is my physical age. Things that worked for me in previous decades aren't quite right for me now. As I am about to turn 65, I realize that age is just a number. But, I am still striving to be my best and most authentic self at this age, with this body and face. I never gravitated towards the super youthful, ingenue, nor extremely structured, classical aesthetic. Finding the right balance is crucial. Thank you for your videos!

[@kaseysmith798]

This is soooo helpful! Even without knowing my exact “type”, I can tell I’m youthful learning masculine but I still love & feel in harmony with some more feminine elements added in. This is so insightful!! I can look back on outfits that felt like costumes vs outfits that felt like me. So crazy to finally have the language to understand what I was feeling!!

[@notaclue822]

In the summertime, what feels authentic on me seems to shift to more feminine colours and styles. I think this will help me not make the mistake of going youthful feminine. Excellent. I'm never too sure about masculine versus feminine but I'm learning. Kate Blanchette was already on my Pinterest boards. I love her style.

[@pinkroses135]

That makes sense. I lean towards mature feminine features but lifestyle I favor youthful masculine. The colors have to be deep and soft so that's another mature need. I guess that does kind of fit the theatrical romantic femme fatale stereotype in its own way. The silhouette is a big key. That's where I've gotten off track.

[@ktdbr]

I disagree with the PCA statement (as it being of the least importance). Actually for me it is the most important aspect. But maybe it is because I am Bright Spring and I look so bad in my wrong colours. It doesn’t matter if they’re energetically more suitable or not, I just look washed out, discolorated and tired. When you learn to see colour harmony after some time spend in your colours, you just cannot unsee it anymore. You just get used to wearing minimal makeup and not looking like a part of the wall behind you. ;) To me, in that Cate Blanchett photo comparison, I look more at the suit in the right photo, and more at CB’s face in the left one. I see cool outfit in the right one, and a person in the left one. Her face almost disappears to me in the right photo, her head has no support from her colours and looks like it’s floating.

[@StickyJewel]

This is so interesting !! I have also thought about this alot because right now I know my color season and I think I almost got my silhouette and essence down... Although like you said, it is very hard to find congruence when there is a stereotype on colors and how those garments will look like vs trying to find the best style for yourself 😅 My favorite video you put out thus far. It makes me really happy and you're doing an amazing job at being able to look at this from all angles ❤❤❤🥰 you go girl xD

[@riverrock335]

This video is excellent and I would appreciate more examples in the futures. I like that you point out that individual personalities play a role as well as the environment, event and comfort in wearing certain clothes or colors. I am a strong willed out spoken woman and my personality is strong as well as my facial features. I am careful not to wear strong colors because I want to tone down my essence. I am most comfortable in dark, saturated colors warm or cool in tone since my complexion is neutral. My comfort style of dress is very similar to yours. I live in Alaska and wear coats 8 or 9 months a year. Complete segue: I think videos on how clothing appears when seated is an important consideration in style that does not get addressed. Some clothes look great on me while standing but when seated, are not comfortable, buckle or bulge . Can be a problem in a work environment or social setting. You might want to pursue this subject in future videos.

[@yurikavi0]

You look gorgeous with that hairstyle, Jenn! The new channel name is so on point. As for the chart, it's more universal, as it combines both the physical traits and our preferences or would-like-to-wear-it-will-this-suit-me stuff - some guidelines, of sorts. It's so nice when you show WHY something works (or does not). Loved the video, and, as always, I really enjoy your way with words ❤ Sometimes going too far outside of "your" chart can look costumey, that's true... I already figured out that I'm a dark winter with a gamine essence, but what if I'd like some gentle details not going into "too feminine it would make me look ridiculous" territory? I tend to choose softer/more flowy fabrics for oversized clothes, or cool pastel colours. Or A-line skirts with men shirts and oxfords, which is the closest I can adjust the corporate style to :D Looking forward to the next part (maybe, adding the colours to this chart, going with or against our features? or the updated video about the facial gender?) ❤

[@katem3961]

This was fantastic, Jenn. Would love to see more videos applying this concept to people. I have a romantic body type but do not like wearing too form fitting clothing or too feminine 😆 Thank you for explaining this so clearly 💗

[@TheresaDisharoon]

I am so glad you made this video. I have this problem of being dramatic, structural, and natural essence. It is so confusing to blend these in my personal style.

💯it can get so overwhelming!

[@MegaKartikawati]

THANK YOU!

[@anna-karinlarson6742]

Another great video with good examples with both Kate B and yourself in a lot of pictures in the diagram. I am a true summer with both madculine and feminine features in my face. Its easier to find my style if I think about what I am NOT! I'm not a tomboy and neither a young feminine girlie type. I think I'm more feminine mature with a lot of casual and comfortable clothes in my day to day wear. But when I dress up I look fab in a wrap dress in dark red or a long summerdress in fuschia. The Kibby system was tricky for me but I think my body is maybe a soft dramatic, with a more robust bone structure, but with an hourglass figure with some boobs. I'm 5'5 inches tall, so I'm not as tall as a soft dramatic "should " be. Your diagram makes a lot of sense, thank you for doing these great analyses for us!

[@lynnfox8376]

Really useful. This explains why soft feminine styles don't suit my curvy figure and soft colouring but morestructured items like shirt dresses do.

[@amgchainus]

Jenn love how your dress and lipstick match so well! I love the x,y plane to decide where to push your style! So even if I don’t have Kate Blanchett’s lemon yellow pant suit, I can probably get creative, get a blazer and pants and incorporate swatches of butter yellow in it.

[@Soulhats]

This explains a lot, thank you this was so helpful. By the way, your hair looks lovely today. I like the soft waves.

[@pajamamama5965]

I love this! It's so helpful. And it makes sense. As someone who recently finally found the correct color season, I have actually found shopping to be easier and more fun. I'm a bright winter, but I follow the thinking that the sister seasons are acceptable as well. I think of it like a Bullseye with the bright winter in the center, with the bright Spring and True winter as the outer circles. I know that when I'm looking for clothing in my colors, I'm looking for cool, clear or bright colors. I don't find it limiting at all, because I'm not concerned with perfection. But I can easily breeze right past colors that are warm and muted now. I can stop trying to make myself look good in colors like dusty rose and Olive green that look great on others, and now I know why. I've been implementing this strategy for less than a year, and have gotten more compliments than I have in the past decade because I'm finally wearing good colors for me. I also realize that some colors have strong psychological impact such as black that a summer wouldn't look as good in, but she may want to look powerful or confident. I'm not discounting that truth, I'm just sharing my personal experience.

[@kathryn2334]

Brilliant.

[@AutXRose]

Loved this video! I love the way you rationalize, organize and explain these concepts that often seem so abstract. Thank you for teh hard work~

[@Houseofgamine]

I think the Cate example is a great example of combining body type ( referring to Kibbe ) and color analysis. Combined she has a dramatic ( kibbe ) ethereal ( light summer ) look.

[@destroya522]

The simplicity and clarity is super helpful. For future videos (def want more!) - examples of what the youthful masculine quadrant looks like for different contrast and in the 4 main color seasons; I noticed the examples for each quadrant had a cohesive general color story; are you suggesting to create your own moodboard of how you would wear each quadrant and give it a name like the awesome creator example? I watched this vid a couple times, what you’re presenting has my really thinking.

[@Just_Kirsty]

Even if it's just about being able to tell what your style is absolutely not, the generalized 4 quadrants are very helpful. I was instantly like "Feminine and mature is SO NOT MY STYLE", it's more in between masculine and mature and masculine and youthful (with a slight leaning towards the middle of the spectrum). My naturally given visual impact is definitely not as yang leaning as that of a dramatic. I like to throw in a few more feminine silhouettes here and there, but not in the form of a low neckline, ruffles or something like that. More in the form of a cute pattern, rather "feminine" colors, a tight fit, a bit of draping or something like that. I rarely wear dresses or skirts and if I do, they are more on the plain side without any fuzz. I really like more masculine styles and often find my favorite pieces in the men's section of a store. The colors I like on myself are often times found in way more feminine clothes, as you mentioned, which is why I tend to stock up on my favorites whenever I can find them in my beloved colors. It's not that I hate how super feminine clothes look on me, it's just that I don't like how I feel in them. Whenever I tried to shift my style into a more feminine one I hated the clothes and would really only wear them once and neglect them after. I do think the contrast of my partially more feminine features and the masculine outfits is amazing and I really prefer that for me. That's where I personally had to hop off the Kibbe bandwagon and do my own thing because I am really not all about looking my most feminine and polished, I'm more like an approachable rebel when it comes to styling an outfit for myself. That's also what I'd name my own aesthetic "approachable rebel" it makes sense while it makes no sense and that just perfectly fits my personality as well xD

[@stylerefinement]

I agree!! I like that this approach allows us to weed out our absolute worst, and then kinda play around in between 😆

[@noddycool2703]

Ooh, I'm like you! An "approachable rebel"! My three-words (comfortable, cool & confident) fused into one word is: free (pirate), free, like a pirate.

[@BelindaP-r5j]

This is a great approach and I think it’s going to work well for me. I’ve been exploring a bunch of these typing systems and find that I’m full of contradictions, making it hard to land on a type in some systems. Often the recommendations don’t fit what I’m attracted to, or what I feel actually complements me. You’ve given me some ideas on how I want to experiment with my style going forward.

What’s funny about the quadrant you made is that my style which is a variation of preppy would fit in the masculine and youthful quadrant, mainly because even though my style is very feminine I’m not a fan of flowy fitted garments and rather the femininity of the garments to be felt in the print or colour. Think structured mini skirt with a puppy print with a tshirt in white or cream and a pink cardigan, maybe Oxford shoes and a short socks, newsboy hat and a letter bag, never mind the ending I lost track of

[@Jacobjosh17]

As for the reat, I'm lost!

[@lindaroy4061]

Your explanations along with the quadrants were so helpful Jenn!! I’m actually getting it!! I lean mature-feminine 75% of the time until I dress for a campfire where I lose the feminine and go mature-masculine. The only time I crossover to youthful-feminine is when I wear a floral sundress to walk on the beach or my PJ’s! My takeaway is that all except one of those styles live in me. It’s amazing the clarity this brought! ❤

[@stylerefinement]

I’m glad to hear you found the approach helpful Linda! I was actually thinking the same thing - as long as I avoid the most opposite (youthful and feminine in my case) I’m good, so this approach gives us a lot of flexibility!!

[@ZelB06]

I literally gave up with Kibbe as my style and what I love sits right between natural and nature with lots of feminine touches yet in Kibbe I'm a dramatic and the style is so so far away from what I actually like so instead I'm going with just what I like alongside practicality for being a mum who does very long hours working

I noticed awhile back that according to how Kitchener seems to categorise essences, ethereal are basically just light coloured dramatics.

[@filmflashforwards]

I have a little problem. I have definitely masculine, mature features. But I'm a soft natural according to kibbe, so stiff lines and structured outfits are out of the ecuation. In case that wasn't enough, my color analysis places me within the true spring season (not really masculine either and definitely not mature). What do we do when nothing seems to fit into a style that's coherent?

[@YumeraChauque]

Mmmm you could do like this: light fabrics for curve and width acomodation in bright leaning colors(,this is your feminine part to honor you body) but use simple,clean lines and avoid frills and overly intricate things.

[@morro8785]

As far as I know Cate Blanchett's natural hair color once was brunette. The ethereal essence doesn't make much sense anyway if one is already familiar with Harriet McJimsey's essence system and it's original meaning. Cate would be a great example for the pure dramatic type. Nothing more complicated added. You get one or a blend of two types max. and you're fine. That's what I love about it. So simple and easy to understand. You go for the general vibe and don't analyse a face divided into 1000 pieces separately up to the point where you don't know who or what you actually are anymore.

[@YumeraChauque]

Ah,finally someone who share the same opinion about it🤗,people get too fixate about finding 3+ essences when in reality most people are one or maximum 2 essences, rarely I find 3 or 4. Me as an example, I am a mix of gamine(body) and ingenue (face) the problem is that people get very fixate in one feature like "oh I have big and round eyes so I can't be a dramatic " or "I have small eyes so I can't be in the ingenue essence " but,I think what is more important is the overall vibe of the face,Karolina Zebrwoska(a youtuber)has big round eyes but she is a dramatic because everything else is big so it looks balanced,or IU (kpop singer)doesn't have big eyes but are rounded and everything else is small and round so she stills fall in the ingenue. And,in my opinion ethereal essence is just a variant of D and C .

[@morro8785]

@@YumeraChauque Yes, exactly. It's the overall vibe that counts. McJimsey actually encourages people to choose their essence types based on that in the chapter where she explains how to do it. When I read her book I found the angelic is a blended type made of dramatic and ingenue essence - both pure and rare types. They're typically tall and sophisticated, appear mature, have dignity etc. which comes from the dramatic side and they got the ingenue part, because with age people tend to return to some extend to the softness of childhood when they're very old.... therefore the timeless/ageless and wise vibe of the ethereal. Kitchener even took soft fluffy wools like angora from the ingenue and gave it the angelic/ethereal. The classic got it's matureness and dignity from the dramatic type as the classic is a so called intermediate type in McJimsey's system. It's so interesting to research the origins of the essences 🙂

At any price point? I feel you're slightly out of touch with reality with this one.

[@lilac951]

@ririimari if you want a good suit with Shein price, you are the problem

[@ririimari]

​@@lilac951you're the one on here stating completely untrue things. I never said I wanted a cheap suit, simply pointed out how delusional your comment is. You cannot get tailored items at "every price point"

[@relayniedarcy]

@@lilac951 If you think any price point doesn’t include SHEIN price, you’re contradicting yourself.

[@lilac951]

@relayniedarcy fast fashion cuts corners every possible way. They literally inslave people so they don't have to pay them properly. They use the cheapest plastic material. They don't care about the quality of clothe. So it's not a real price. You just can't compare the price of a proper suit to their piece of sh!t.

who else finds these videos always unnecessary long? with the useful informations stretched between endless talking?

[@reinerselbstschuss3820]

lol you "threatened" to unsubscribe 2 months ago and you're still here get a life

[@JB-tt6ct]

Disagree. Jen gives numerous visual examples to clarify the info which is helpful for people trying to learn that don't have the eye to figure it out themselves. Yes I need to be explained stuffike I'm five. It's not like she's telling her family drama like culinary KZbinrs

[@CBlake-xy5cm]

Not at Style Refinement. I think Jen gives some of the most succinctly delivered FRESH style info on KZbin. Go Jen! 🙂 Your content is very much appreciated! 🦋🧡🦋

If you don’t like the videos- (plural, so you’ve seen more than one)- why are you still here? There are other youtube channels that exist, you know. Maybe go look elsewhere and stop complaining.

[@Meatballpeep]

Do you have a short attention span? Or do you just like complaining?
