Classic VS other "BODY TYPES"

[@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.

[@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]

[@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! 😇😇

It might not be true but I noticed Classics (off course including Dramatic Classics and Soft Classics) tend to be very classy and refined. For example Cary Grant and Grace Kelly.

Have you tried testing it with signature clothing? Classic and Naturals have opposite structure with clothing (more tailored vs unconstructed). Can you pull off oversized clothes?

[@rawdria]

@@claudiah8905 Yes, that is my other question mark. I like unconstructed ones but sometimes oversized ones make me look even thinner, best dresses are made of thicker materials and follow my body line but not super tight...IDK but thanks for the tip:))

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 😅

[@alteredcatscyprus]

I wonder why Kibbe kept the perfectly Dramatic and perfectly Romantic types if he has decided that perfect Classics, Naturals, and Gamines are only theoretical.

[@Amy_mee]

I feel like Gamines are the opposite of classics, because one has so many contrasts in it and the other one has no contrast-everything mixed

[@NerdyNerdUHeard]

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.

So helpful! I used to think I was Soft Natural, mostly because I do have some blunt lines on my face.

@@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!

[@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?

[@co4295]

As a subcategory of classics myself, I think classics are subrepresented in your videos. You are using the same photos over and over again although there are plenty of classics out there. Anyhow, your videos helped me to find my style and to love myself better, so there is a list of classics I found after watching your videos. It is meant to help other women identify their bodytype easier.
