How to Dress Rock & Roll Chic l KIBBE BODY TYPE CLASSIC

[@lipasketch]

This is so great! Girl, keep going! I'm a soft classic who hates traditional soft classic recommendations (dresses, skirts, anything with buttons, high heels...) And this is pretty much right up my alley! I already use some of the recommendations you give here :) Good to see stereotypes being broken!

[@elyssa_aesthetic]

Filipa YES YES YES YES!!!! I KNEW there were classics out there that despised the prim and proper look. There’s too much room for expression in personal style for anyone to be restricted to a stereotype. Now it’s funny because some classics are just naturally drawn to the stereotypical classic look (I consider those people the epitome of their archetype). But if we look at the ESSENCE aspect, there’s no way that everyone that has a classic body is going to jive with the “classic aesthetic”. So in your case, your essence might pull through a little more yang which could be expressed in an aesthetic like this 🖤

[@lipasketch]

@@elyssa_aesthetic yes! I do prefer something with a bit more spice! A touch of sporty and military, rock and roll and street style), but also a bit classic and feminine to go well with my lines! Basically, it always needs to be practical and comfortable!

[@monalarisa]

Same here! I'm an absolute rocker at heart and soul, but I need to keep my style super feminine as well, because it represents my personality

[@squash6497]

I'm thinking Rosa Diaz from Brooklyn 99 is a perfect example of this. She always looks balanced and put together, and strikes a great balance between yin and yang elements in my opinion. Coincidentally, she's also one of my style icons.

That's true

I followed these rules today and I loved it!

[@kendrac8885]

This video helped me find things I loved at the thrift store!

[@jonesie8377]

I’m really grateful for this video. I fall into the classical type and sometimes feel like I’m just supposed to dress business/preppy all the time. I struggle when I expand my options and I feel like I’m wearing a costume.

[@kreeortelia4713]

Hello Elyssa, I'm watching this videos 4 years later as I found your channel (and this video!) as as recommendation on reddit to explain how to approach different style for different body types. I believe it would be amazing to have more videos like this one! where you explain how to achieve given style in given body types. There is some content like this on yt but I really liked how you approached it with different categories and we just NEED MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS. I hope you will take it on

[@AdishaMusic]

I'm a classic, and I love this style. I intuitively always felt the need to balance everything and keep things symmetrical and many of your suggestions are things I have been doing since always. This is great stuff! I'm happy I found your channel, look forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@magdakar4252]

I find challenging to incorporate Rock style on romantics, although i totally feel it! Please make a video on this too!!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@emschlef]

The last look was so good, definitely suits a Dramatic Classic IMO. Great video Elyssa, I really like this format!

[@elyssa_aesthetic]

Em Shef thank you for watching and the feedback!!

[@Isa_blue98]

Omg this is great! Can you do a rock and roll aesthetic for soft naturals?

[@KristenLeakeDrums]

I love this video! I wish you had more people of color in your images to give me an idea what would suit my kinky curly hair and brown skin tone. Either way, thanks for making this!

[@keishabryant4650]

Wow, you really identify the style, pieces, and your understanding is more laid out. You should be the top KZbin Guru go-to person when it comes to style / picking the proper pieces to bring it home, as for me helps my brain comprehend everything properly without second-guessing myself. You know your stuff. Thank you I am so glad you chose to do a KZbin-style. You need a show or to produce a show.

[@janinebonilla1644]

[@sarahshires4313]

Most helpful style video I have ever watched! Thank you for helping me understand how to incorporate just the right amount of rock n roll vibe to my classic look!

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

Love to see some more on classics (I've mistyped as a FG for so long but am a DC.) I'd also love to see dark academia for the different types.

[@dianamontoya996]

Thank you thank you thank you! !! For so long I thought I could not have classic and rock and roll together. This is absolutely inspiring! !! Thank you for helping me build my style, girl!!!

[@elyssa_aesthetic]

You are SO welcome!

[@andgummybears]

Amazing! Especially the black leather jacket, striped skirt look. Wow what a great classic interpretation of a look!! Love, love.❤️❤️

[@starminoui]

These were great outfit ideas, I know a lot of Classics feel boring and stiff in their lines. I’d love to see a video for each type! Just a bit of constructive criticism, you might want to get better lighting like a ring light. Sorry in advance if you’re already working on it!

[@elyssa_aesthetic]

Brandi Davis thank you for the feedback!!!! I don’t take offense at all and am open to all constructive criticism 💛 I have to admit, the lighting inconsistencies in this and a few of my other videos drive me nuts! So I’m definitely looking into lighting h options 🤗

[@reverendgirl40]

THANK YOU!! I was so bummed when I realized I'm a classic earlier this year because I love edgy rock style so much. I was starting to think I might have to get rid of my band tees and combat boots in order to commit to a more classic aesthetic, but I was still clinging to them thinking "There has to be a way to do this!" Now I know, clean lines, minimal accessories, neat(ish) hair and I can still wear all my faves♥️

[@smileybesmilin]

Dude u are so thorough!! Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@JH-nn6jl]

Thank you so much for this video! I struggle with these two styles because that’s exactly what I want, classic & edgy. Love all great info! Looking forward to more videos.

[@patty.cakes.]

It all makes sense. No wonder I’ve always likes clean lines in everything shoes, tops, pants, dresses !!!!!!

[@lucindalaree4666]

I love ❤️ this video and this vibe!

[@MysteryExodus]

Your videos are so interesting and informative. So many KZbinrs talk without saying anything or they all say the same exact thing.

[@amandac3362]

I love this because that’s exactly how I dress and I just figured out that I’m a classic -or seem to be based on all the quizzes articles and videos I’ve been watching lol-and I naturally dress like this !!! I have animal print smooth slip on sneaker wedges I wear like everyday with dark denim skinny jeans -and I usually wear a blazer or big soft luxurious faux fur coat if it’s cold (which it is right now) and a silky top … so I have the smooth dark jeans and smooth materials either on my top both solid color and have shoes and jackets that are leopard and cheetah print -and if I wear a solid color blazer I wear a floral top underneath-that’s my daily look … in the summer I wear Jean shorts floral top and leather strap ot twisted sandals and very Yang big angular /geometric jewelry or I wear pointed flats, ruffly flowy mini skirt with patterns and a solid color top and more delicate earrings and a Jean jacket -or in the winter I also have a sweater dress motorcycle jacket and over the knee leather books -and I have a leopard purse :)

[@BeautybyDawnB]

This is the BEST video I have watched about being a soft classic!! I am just now learning about the Kibbe types over the past few weeks and have determined (after taking the test multiple times) that I'm a soft classic. The reason I kept taking the test over was because the soft, feminine, frilly thing is just not me - I definitely love a rock & roll vibe more. Finally a video that feels like me - even the makeup is EXACTLY how I prefer to wear it (semi bold or bold lip and a defined eye). And I absolutely know this is my style when you were reviewing the 3 looks at the end and you said about the 2nd outfit "you know what this look is missing" and I said the envelope clutch right before you did haha. Girl, thank you for this video xoxo

[@elyssa_aesthetic]

lol we’re on the same page 🙌🏻 And I’m so glad this helped!

[@melsmithmel]

OMG...This is PERFECT.. I went to a major gallery opening with my metallic green skirt, rainbow t-shirt and a classic Chanel jacket and it all worked..Thanks so much for this video..love it.xxx

[@ArtyAntics]

Cruelty free leathers and velvets are my jam ✌️need more velvet in my life! Never seen a rocker with tan or nude accessories tho. In my opinion the only rock outfit was the first with different shoes/bag and the girl with the striped trousers.

[@juliecatalini7235]

Thank you so much for this video!!! I’d figured out I’m a classic but am drawn to incorporate a touch of edge . This clip emphasised /confirmed my classic style (except my hair - curly and I can’t be bothered taming it). And now I know how to add en edge without sacrificing my classic style! I love tailoring and feel comfortable in it. Hate ripped jeans, raw edges. You describe the style so well and better than any others I’ve watched. Thank you! 🙏

[@jadeh4253]

These are really interesting videos. I hope you keep making them. Can you do Goth and Punk?

[@wenavi8289]

More more more!!!! Please do these for other body types as well please. Like preppy for soft dramatic and soft natural. Or casual looks for soft dramatics

[@elvillivle]

Came from Aly Art's more conservative take on Kibbe styling. I like your and Merriam's more progressive take. I'm forever thankful to Aly though for introducing me to Kibbe.

[@patty.cakes.]

Same 👌🏼

[@marcellem.9935]

I feel like these aesthetics videos are the missing link. My color palette is definitely cool and radiant and there's a pretty good chance I'm a Romantic in the Kibbe system but I still don't know what to look for when shopping. I looked at Olga's 18 Ethereals and found the aesthetic I like but I don't know how to put it all together. I am really looking forward to the next videos. Thank you !

[@elyssa_aesthetic]

Marcelle M. YES!!! So I’ll be covering Olga’s 18 etherials very very soon!!!! I just personally feel that personal aesthetic unlocks the doors to color pallet and your “vibe” which plays into your lifestyle and personal interests.

[@tomjones2157]

@@elyssa_aesthetic Oooh Olga's etherials yay! Its fascinating but find it a bit hard to understand. Especially as most of her writing is in another language.

[@elyssa_aesthetic]

Tom Jones yes, this is exactly the issue I’m running into. A lot of it is up for interpretation and I really want to get all the details in order before diving in. I think it’s a fairly complex system but offers more guidance in finding personal style than the Kibbe system (or at least his Metamorphosis book) does.

[@himiu3574]

Thank YOOOU I'm Happy this video exists!, I'm a Soft Classic (I think... but I'm a classic for sure) And honestly there's no force on earth that is going to make me dress super prim and proper. However there are some things I can't pull off very well (I would love to be a Flamboyant Gamine because I really love rock/tomboyish) but with the outfits you showed here I'll be more than happy refining my style.

[@mipsydear]

Love this because it works the other way as well. I can't help being alternative at heart but I really like to add that dash of girlyness and structure and avoid looking really "yang" or grungy.

[@WhiteHatDance]

Can't wait for Rock & Roll Chic for Flamboyant Naturals! Also, I'd be grateful for a Romantic Style for Flamboyant Naturals video, it's hard for me to understand what would work for me in this style. Thank you in advance!

[@saralbruno]

Thank you! Im a classic and in a rock band so this is great

[@tomjones2157]

My classic friends NEVER look prim and proper. I think its a made up stereotype pushed by pinterest. However, they don't need many elements to easily bring off the rock n roll vibe. If they go too far and pile on lots of loud oversized elements (fringes + leather jacket + studded belt + big boots + big hair and winged liner ect, then Classics can look like they're unkempt and messy rather than intentional.

[@elyssa_aesthetic]

Tom Jones exactly!!! They could honestly wear well fitting jeans, a black shirt, black booties, a silver ring, red lip and sunglasses and look R&R Chic 🙃 They never have to worry about looking “plain”! But I wanted to give some visual inspiration for the those looking to branch out!

[@tomjones2157]

@@elyssa_aesthetic I'm going to try this look, thanks!!

[@jenniferwissmann8133]

Great video! I have this type of "alternative" style; I'd love to see a video on how it applies to soft gamines (my body type).

[@ifetayodavidson-cade5613]

Off the top of my head: denim cuffed at the ankle, cropped leather jackets with lots of zippers and/or studs, band tees with graphics, booties, combat boots, miniskirts in denim or leather, cropped trousers, and making sure you have waist definition

[@laurabennett3139]

I've been trying to pull off rock and roll aesthetic for years and it never works because it always looks too "put together"... I think I'm a romantic and now I understand why this look doesn't work... can you do a rock n roll for the curvy types?

[@sofiaguerrero0969]

This might be weird but maybe invest in a leather jacket or something and make it look very... used? It sounds dumb when you buy something really expensive and basically want to make it look “old” but the more worn in it looks, the more effortless you look. Also, with the hair, don’t make it too neat. Let the wind mess it up and tuck it behind your ear without worrying if your part is on the right side or not.... those little changes make the whole fit look effortless and cool (which I by no means am but my friend dresses this way and I recently got her tips lol) Also your curvy size is a good thing. You can cinch in your waist and make those black jeans look bomb. There’s so many styles to look up on Pinterest! :)

I thought rock and roll chic was a term my friend made up, when we met up one day and she liked my outfit, she called me rock and roll chic, and it stuck with me😊💕

[@debless9]

My SN version of rock n roll is more based on styles pre-dating punk, such as glam. I believe Marc Bolan and Maria Schneider (last tango in Paris) , whose styles I love, might have both been SN. Plus I just always feel drawn to tans, caramels and brown over black and fabrics like corduroy, velvet. I would prefer a parsley printed funky pair of boots or just cowboy inspired to the Versace studed pumps.
