Kibbe Soft Natural Outfits: beyond the "casual boho" look

[@stephanie_elle]

Okay, I admit I was skeptical because I remember you making a really strong move away from Kibbe content to focus on your own system, which I respected a lot, BUT! This short sweet and helpful format works so well! I’m convinced! And really excited for Soft Dramatic ideas 🥰 also your hair is amazing as usual

[@loelli_]

yes!! excited for Soft Dramatic toooo!🩷

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

Thank you! Soft Dramatic is indeed next 🌸 I have a lot of hesitations about Kibbe but I also think easy visual examples like this can be very helpful to people who do like the Kibbe approach but want more

[@mimiveggie8653]

Agreed!! This is the crossover we needed 😁

[@stephanie_elle]

Ahh yay for SD! 🥰

[@kiskakuznetsova503]

Thaaaaaaank you! I'm definitely an. SN but I'm not a 30yo actress in LA or interior designer in Williamsburg, which is what I feel the SN look works for. This is so helpful and I laughed when you said that for amethysts it seems not fair that we have to dress that way just because we have wide shoulders! That's exactly how I feel. Wide shoulders mean that you can wear the s*** out of anything and rock it, it doesn't mean we have to lack structure to soften ourselves.

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

okay so I was having a weird hair day but I wanted to make the video anyway. please let's all pretend that my hair actually looks amazing as usual (thank u) oh also obviously these are just a small set of possible outfits for each style key and if you want to see more examples I could do a stream or a longer video!

[@lifeoflee09]

Would love more examples!!

[@mariamsaleh7780]

@@lifeoflee09 me too ! I saw so many videos on kibbe/styling that were just kinda repeating the same thing I feel like I learned something new from your video! Please make more

[@amishbeetroot4989]

I agree with creating visual cohesion, i always go for a head to toe look intuitively as a SN. I also think all your kind of "diagnoses" for each style key and the styling solutions make sense, i even missed a couple of the screen changes showing what key you were discussing but was able to identify the key based on your individual recommendations. I agree that for Ruby, it is good to focus more on freedom from the typical SN shapes, and for the up keys adding visual interest in a cohesive way remains true to SN and the individual's philosophy.

[@zerogoldfish201]

All thumps up and many thanks for the vid. I love your ideas for each quadrant. And you look gorgeous as always.

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

Thank you 💜

[@neon.neutral]

Yes! Looking forward to soft classic. Also this im sure will be a great way for people who dont know you yet to find you!

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

yay thank you!

[@carolann6158]

Love the sparkle on your jacket Rita 💎 I’m very happy you’re doing this series, I’m sure I’ll get some useful insights from it.

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

Thank you! This jacket is my new absolute favorite

[@bjulalula9537]

I almost jumped when you said "academia inspired" for soft natural moonstone. I am SN and always thought Academia wasn't for me (also because as a bright spring it seems i can not capture this nostalgic feeling)

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

Yay 🌸 but yeah I guess with colors the academia concept tends to the dark and moody (except light academia, maybe that's something?)

[@nancycompier]

Ooh I’m excited for this series, looking forward to romantic recommendations for the Ruby Key!

[@tatianavasilevskaia4913]

Rita, awesome video on the intersection of Kibbe and your system. Could you please make similar video for Flamboyant Gamines, or just Gamines, that would be so great!

[@chrysanthemum3087]

yes pls! Ruby SG here! I find i accidentally follow a lot of the “rules” for G naturally because well fitted clothes and broken lines feel ease-ful on my body, even though they are hard to find. I’ve resolved not to think about kibbe too much as a result- I don’t think it adds much to my outfits. But, out of curiosity I would love to see examples of enveloping and sensual for us staccato G family members. It seems lots of SG staples in particular lean toward a dreamy and refined mode because of the “staccato” concept.

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

I totally understand what you mean but I think there are lots of great SG examples on the "left" side like Vanessa Hudgens or Maisie Williams (okay they're not verified but they are good examples anyway). I am hearing lots of requests for gamine so I will make sure to put them higher in the order of videos!

[@chrysanthemum3087]

@@StyleThoughtsbyRita Thank you :) I love Masie Williams’ style, that’s a great rec!

[@abiainley9137]

This was so interesting to see. As a SN with larger hips, I find a lot of the oversized jumpers type recommendations to not really work because they just tent around the hips. I also find our SN shoulders our most beautiful feature, so the whole oversized hiding your width approach doesn't vibe with me at all. Was nice to see some different suggestions

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

Yay

[@catinthepeng2686]

I love this. Please also make one for Romantics!

[@Pleurigloss]

Oooh this is a fun series idea!

[@nadiamalik4328]

This was really interesting, would love to see the same for Soft Gamine! 💗

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

Lots of people asking for Gamine so I will do that after SD!

[@tournesol777]

This video is helping me so much. Can't wait to finally find my style with your tips! 😊

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

which style key do you relate to!

[@michelleholland1500]

I am so excited for this series! Can’t wait for DC as a sapphire 🙌🏼

[@swanhill5759]

Yes! I’ve been so excited for this series.

[@gabyveronica429]

Woww this video SAVED my life thank you so much for this..i think i’m a Ruby or Sapphire key ❤😊😊

[@LaraUAE]

Please do this for soft classic!!!

[@staceycorbett80]

Love the video! So many fun outfits 🔥 💕

[@meganradford1522]

Would love to see your celeb examples for these like in the other Kibbe vids recently :)

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

Yeah I will work around that eventually! in the meantime you can check out our pinterest which has many examples of celebrities in each quadrant! www.pinterest.com/yourstylekey

[@sydneyshmidney]

Ooh fun, excited to see ideas for Ds later!!

[@marthamott1136]

I can't wait for your FN video, the suggestions are always "wear a bag, you look sooooo good in a bag".

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

what, you mean that you don't feel the need to hide your BROAD BIG YANG body in a loose bag???

[@spacebar9733]

​@@StyleThoughtsbyRita LMAO 😂❤

[@Allesea159]

Please do one for all the kibbe IDs ❤️

[@siennazylis]

Thank you for this! Can you do something for the modest girlies?

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

Like modest outfits for each style key?

[@siennazylis]

@@StyleThoughtsbyRita That would be cool! Like achieving the correct lines while being covered. A lot of the looks are like that already but I always love to see more ideas!

[@6Bright9]

Hi Rita! First off, I absolutely love your work and I am a big fan. As a piece of constructive (personal) feedback: The music in the background is super distracting and since your videos are usually information packed, it's impossible for me to follow. There's just too much going on and I literally cannot watch them. This might just be me, but I imagine there are other neurodivergents out there, so I wanted to share it. Thank you for doing what you are doing

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

thank you, for the next videos in the series I can try including the music only in the chapter transition moments!

[@fancifulfrog3522]

the images didn't do justice to what you were saying...wish there were more realistic images. i am enjoying learning about ure style key system tho :)

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

Hi, thanks for your comment, what do you mean by realistic images?

[@Ponitypon]

All 4 *different * recommendations were same though. Just create visual interest, got it

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

It's all just pieces of cloth being draped onto human bodies I guess

[@di3486]

SN has a heaviness that comes from flesh and width. The width is NOT only shoulders! Is everywhere, ribcage, midsection, even ankles!. SN usually don’t look well in fitted looks (unless you are very slender). That’s why I like relaxed looks but fitted to my proportions. Boho is much better suited for FN not SN.

[@di3486]

@@Leoiorcus i disagree. Ribcage width is FUNDAMENTAL for Natural body types.

[@di3486]

@@Leoiorcus There are SN that are almost classic looking. Could be your case.

[@ijmimi9186]

I think you should probably correct your statement about soft naturals wearing boho oversized. Probably specify that your "classic recommendations" are from random pinterest boards, not Kibbe system itself. I respect your work to much to gloss over such.

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

Well to be fair David does not offer any outfit recommendations and says the book is outdated. So there are no recommendations from "the Kibbe system itself." when people want to use Kibbe's work as a system, their only option is to Google soft Natural outfits. Which is what I did to research for this video! And what I will do for future videos. We don't even have any confirmation from David that blunt yang with yin always leads to the SN. We also don't really know what David sees as "fresh and sensual" and how much glamour he would allow for an SN. so the entire premise of this video is flawed 🙃 yet many people like the Kibbe ideas and that's why I'm putting in the effort to make these videos My goal is not to contribute to Kibbe Canon but to help people who are searching for resources on youtube!

[@ijmimi9186]

@@StyleThoughtsbyRita exactly. We are saying the same thing. Most people won’t know you are not referring to Kibbe himself, not a random google search . While your intention isn’t to add to his work, which I respect and value your own creation as is. How it was presented does discredit his work a bit because of the misinformation. Just a thought.

[@StyleThoughtsbyRita]

Okay, I hear that you feel strongly about this but I don't 🌸
