SOFT CLASSIC / Summer Style LAWS

[@Robin-l1o9k]

This red top looks so great on you, Aly!

[@MissFayeCBL]

Where did you find your top? @aly

[@minervarose7664]

Awesome video. I *THINK* I am a SC. I guess that's one good explanation for why "trendy" looks are so off on me!! Growing up as a teen and early 20s girl in the 2000s, i tried various types of fashions, most of which looked terrible 😂 such as long peasant skirts (too frumpy), ruffled/ asymmetric skirts or tops (too fussy) or those horrid bubble dresses/ tops (which just made me look fat and short lol). It took a long time for me to notice that a simple sheeth or wrap dress in a solid colour got me more compliments than anything else. Sometimes i would even be surprised thinking "oh, that's such a boring dress, how come everyone likes it??!" Of course you can't live in dresses all the time 😬 i have noticed though that "my version" of a "jeans and t shirt look" is simply to swap the t shirt for shirt/ blouse (not too tight nor too baggy) and tuck it in. And a pair of pretty sandals to add that touch of "elegance".

[@qwheein5834]

I need soft classic recommendations that don't include white bottoms/dresses because I am way too clumsy and know I'll spill or sit on something lol

[@carla8687]

Any other soft classics that look absolutly aweful in tiered midi and maxi dresses? They are for sale everywhere, look so cute but i put them on and go "oh nooo!"

[@ayakizleriTR]

The same... I look like child in those :(

[@kallistamorgan1349]

💯

[@ilikepizza7211]

The only time those look good on me is if the sleeves aren’t fitted or sleeveless (I’m not entirely sure if I’m a soft classic yet)

[@oliveoil2x]

So well explained & demonstrated. Soft classic has a lot of nuance they you capture & point out helpful specifics. Aly, you do this best! I’ve read the Kibbe book & your synopsis makes more sense to me. I’m always looking forward to your next video to get more great bodytype information. Thanks for all the time & effort you put in.

[@oliwiak2050]

Excellent outfits, love them! I noticed that "not done" hair on SC ruins the whole look, no matter how great clothes are, it´s like I have to tidy it up, style it a bit, otherwise I look frumpy. Can you advise soft calssic realistic contemporary hairstyles? This seems like key to the whole SC look, is that right?

[@ajasmin22]

The best Kibbe video I've seen. So spot on-you're a total professional. Thank you!

[@zebestekiki]

I finally can put words on stuff I already knew about my body ❤thank you

[@Taylorschahn444]

I cannot believe how that oversized dress looks on Marion Cotillard.. it added like 70 lbs to her. She's so tiny and makes her look like a completely different person.

[@mblmbl1574]

Thanks!

[@04nurnurdug30]

you are so elegant - voice, gesture and how you discribe things

[@annepconley1553]

This is so helpful. I think I'm a soft classic (sometimes I think a soft natural). I love your videos.❤

[@fin418]

I have this too. Have been trying to type myself for months and I'm so torn between SN and SC ( leaning towards SC) I have decided to combine the two and create what I called a relaxed classic. I have been wearing classic outfits but with a relaxed vibe to them, slightly messy hair, basic white trainers instead of elegant sandals. Relaxed cardigans etc. Hope this helps

[@annepconley1553]

@@fin418 Thanks. It does help.❤

[@softsophisticate]

@@fin418 I am the same too, in between SC and SN. Some classic styles can make me look boring, frumpy/matronly and some natural styles are too rustic/textured. I like your idea - relaxed soft classic. Yes, my hair looks better slightly messy too, I call it oomfy - as in my hair has a bit of oomf to it. I have a layered shoulder length bob and love those mornings when you get up, look in the mirror and you have bed hair and it looks great. I always feel bad about brushing it out.

[@neanea1173]

I love this Aly! Yes!!! The look "expensive" trend saying is extremely off-putting!

[@lizzyp174]

Thank you for taking the time to include all the perfect visual examples ❤❤❤

[@garlicgirl3149]

I know I am a classic. Not sure if soft but definitely a classic. I agree with everything because in my youth whenever I went off kilter and tried to wear the "not recommended I always felt uncomfortable or looked awkward but at that time I did not know why.

[@sandimcdougall2909]

You gave me an LOL with the military shit kickers comment. Thank you & great video.

[@julieme7927]

Military shit kickers 😂 Love it! Awesome series 👏

[@dorothyj2151]

Your videos are so helpful! I am leaning more and more toward believing that I am a soft classic. My closet is full of delicate sweaters. I bought a sharp jean jacket thinking I was a dramatic classic, but the lines were just too harsh for me. I also look better with wavy hair rather than straight hair.

[@SeaBlue1976]

I ve learnt so many things from u,subbed like 10 years ago ❤ Greetings from Greece 💙

[@lidialesniak2052]

This is great!looking forward to Fall, Winter and Spring wardrobe on Soft Classic 😊

[@barbarag.269]

Thank you so much for these shorts videos! I have been waiting for the soft classic, and here it is🥳 I sent these to some of my friends🙂🙂🙂 Thank you🤗🤗🤗

[@wiesengrund1314]

I was looking forward to SC. All you said is so true! Thank you.

[@lidyaliuw6921]

This video really helpfull!! Love it ❤

[@d.wilbur5164]

This explains SO much, Aly! Now that I know my body type, I understand why some clothes hanging in my closet have never been worn. Time to make some decisions about those. Great video and absolutely correct for my soft classic body type.

[@04nurnurdug30]

wau, great, so little details make the difference, the thing with the jeans dress, i wondered always, now i know what is the point - thank you so much!

[@MichaelAntus]

You look incredible today...

[@morro8785]

I also love to watch other body type vids. Just to learn more about everything kibbe. This for example should be perfect for my sister! She's a soft classic very likely. I'm a soft gamine. 💝

[@MandalaBunnyhome]

Great suggestions! I still wear some things that arent supposed to look great but somehow i pull it off, i think im just a mix because with the kibbe test i was in basically a three way tie between styles lol

[@lollylula6399]

I'm definitely classic, I feel like I have elements of dramatic and soft about me so I take from either depending how I feel on the day. I have a really long body and short legs so high waisted can make me look more proportioned 🙌🏼

[@bellelove8538]

i just wanna say, you look so pretty with that high neckline red top

[@selu1363]

Please make these for each season!

[@itsswatisaini]

Waited so long for this! It's here finally🎉

[@nousnous4361]

Omg this explains why I look better in capris than skinny and why I have to wear flared jeans instead of boyfriend /mom jeans and wide trousers!!

[@jeanettekays1954]

You are such a wonderful source. Thank you.

[@trees8240]

Thank you. Its quite difficult to find soft classic clothing. I think Anne Taylor's clothes are for classics and soft classics.

[@nora.franke]

This is so helpful! ❤ Thank very much for making this video!

[@SC.Blomstermamman]

I do, love so this video ❤ Thanks Aly 🥰

[@beatrice6209]

Thank you ❤

[@MadellaBeauty]

Great info Aly! Thank you! ❤

[@ShivangiP1]

Hi Aly! I'm not sure if I'm a Dramatic Classic or a Soft Classic (because I fit elements of both). Can you do a video distinguishing between these two types please?

[@Taylorschahn444]

I am the same! I have to blend dramatic classic and soft classic elements.

[@Bunnidove]

I think you can benefit from pure classic lines then?

[@jeffschielka7845]

Hey Aly! The support you have for Aly Art is amazing! You are so close to having 1M combined subscribers!! Congratulations! Here's to the next million!!!🎈🎈🎈🎉🎉🎉🌟🌟🌟😎

[@Frafshar]

I like how you dress based on the videos' topic everytime❤

[@Anna_dance_health_maniac]

Waiting for autumn right now! :)

[@veronicahoffmann2198]

Hey! Love your content ❤ I’m a soft classic with an outdoorsy job in Patagonia and Iceland. I always struggle with dressing myself in these settings, since outdoorsy clothes are quite boxy and not elegant at all… do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

[@user-ed7eu5nu4j]

Outdoor clothing in just one solid colour without the accentuated knee patches etc. may help. For example dark blue (ski) pants, a white or red jacket and a scarf in the color of the two pieces.

[@kallistamorgan1349]

I would love more info on this as well! I also live in an outdoorsy town, and enjoy hiking. I find I often look ridiculous when it suits so many other folks. Agree with the above commenter-I’ve found that monochrome, classic colors with lighter shoes work best. I have tan teva sandals and hiking boots, and they look better than all of the colorful, dark, too strappy/chunky styles.

[@sabinabegum4823]

Great tips, I'm all for looking classy and elegant, Ali looks so good on the red 👌

[@amcorazon698]

Excelent tipps! Thanks a Lot from a soft classic❤❤❤❤

So many helpful tips! Thank you ❤

Military sh*t kickers girl am dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@monikongkanabharadwaj9915]

I am soft classic and i love mom jeans but when I wear it with tucked in top, makes me look so short If I wear low rise jeans, it makes me look even shorter. Mid waist jeans never fit my waist as my waist is on the smaller side The only thing that has seemed to work is high rise tailored and pleated trousers which are cigarette cut and hug my waist well, paired with tops that end up on my mid waist This is so tuff😑

[@annk.3545]

I think I found my style! Thanks, Aly. What type do you think you are?

[@FD_996]

this is a great video!

[@d.wilbur5164]

Do you consider Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu to be a classic type? She's so lovely.

[@Lolstop100]

Are you gonna do a winter version for the next season?:) It'd be awesome and really helpful!

[@ashreetis625]

Hi Aly! Could you please try out a video of the right saree styles for each of the body types? It is a staple Indian dress that is beautiful and as a Soft Gamine I think it does not look good on me :(

[@Myhomeisnothere]

Very informative ❤

[@ceciliaexp]

Thanks for the links. 😀

[@luca57882]

Recomended just in time😁😁

[@deanneolinger1396]

Recommendations for the best place to shop for this soft classic?

[@m.s9146]

Thanks for the help!

[@_dreamscape]

So helpful!! I can’t be a classic body type then, because I look good and pretty show-stopping in cheap, thin fabric, body fitting things. This is helpful for process of elimination for solving my body type mystery, Aly!! Thank you 😅❤

[@debbiesivertson817]

❤❤❤ Thank you!!!

[@gracie_5]

You look best in mens clothes. The trouser must be with elasthan, but soft, monochromatic and elegant. Think of it with slim fit blouses clean cut

[@vsatx]

I been doing soft classic all summer, I love it

[@Frafshar]

It's great that you talked about Classics very specifically because usually I hear very general guidance that I don't know how to use in real life.

[@85polish]

Great video!! Everything I love on shoes is not for me 😅

[@deanneolinger1396]

I need help trying to find a casual everyday look, soft classics look too dressed up🤷‍♀️

[@blue_02]

NOO IM DOING EVERYTHING WRONG 😭 but i really love my low waisted baggy pants...i'm still not sure what type of pants i should get now...should it be like slightly tapered pants? Or mom jeans/straight jeans could work? Is it up until the ankle only...like 😫

[@esmeralda3858]

Slim without much volume or detail e.g. bootcut is good.

[@SavannahTucker-v7s]

I love these styles don't get me wrong. But as a soft Classic it's really hard to dress alt/gothic and I'm finding all my favorite styles are not for my body type 😂😅

[@esmeralda3858]

Follow the basic principles of simplicity without volume, stiffness etc, and follow the basic lines of your body. Think about proportions and keeping everything in balance. Although soft classic recommendations are often shown with 'classic' style, I believe they can work with any style.

[@pixsiedoll2341]

Sounds like soft natural

[@Purpleavatar96]

Military shitkickers 😭🤣💯 youre the best aly

[@Zenithyt-n3k]

Ugh...I'm a soft classic and this just makes me dread following the tips to dress like a soft classic - It sounds SO BORING! As a creative, I guess I'll just take it as a challenge to make it not boring.

[@raraavis7782]

I feel your pain. I'm a (flamboyant?) Natural and the typical styling recommendations are sooo not me 😅

[@ilinkazibret8234]

I felt the same, but since I've been trying out these styles for the past 2 years, the results are: 1. I've had to train my eye (creative) 2. Narrowed down the options (reduced waste and regret) 3. Opted for a palette that suits my color season as well as my body type, makes my clothes pretty interchangeable since they don't clash) 4. The above makes dressing a breeze 5. The above gets me compliments and makes me feel good in the clothes 6. Therefore, it makes me appreciate, care for my clothes better 7. I have been able to find a style and a color palette that I ❤ within this framework. My colors need to be muted, but if your colorings are bright, using the right colors will not mess up your look if done properly. 8. Referring to the style, the biggest takeaway from all of this is that as a soft classic, you can emulate any style, but it's enough to only use 1 element. A leather jacket, or 1 boho accessory, slightly sheer 1 piece to look sexy.. etc. Otherwise, we look like a caricature. 9. The clothes that are spot on, you can keep almost forever, since they're a timeless style. There'a good chance to pay a very good price and still manage to love them for a decade or more, depending on the material. 10. There's an option, to focus and pay for the material, not the print. Materials don't get none of the credit, yet are for me, for comfort, functionality and even aesthetics, far more important than prints. And to wrap up, 11, the most important one, if you're a soft classic, some of your clothes might look boring on the hanger. But when you wear them, you'll look spectacular. It's like magic. It's not about the clothes, how they look. It's about how you look. And I think we can look so polished and put together so easily, simply. Simplicity makes us shine. Our problem is is just different from other types, it's the excess not the lack. Hope you don't mind this essay it's meant to help you navigate through the beginning with a bit more confidence. It's totally worth it.

[@jackiedrury318]

This is so well written and spot on . I’m trying to navigate my 50’s looking current and not too young, not too old and polished . Finally learning I’m a soft classic and embracing what looks good on us has been the best thing I have learnt this past year and really boosted my mid life confidence . I hope you have learnt this earlier in life it’s a game changer

[@tcrijwanachoudhury]

As a SC I dont have your issue. Just wear stuff that doesnt mess with your proportions, because they're already perfect. you can be edgy or soft or vintage just make sure it fits well.

[@bethl]

@@ilinkazibret8234 thank you, this is what I’m hoping for.

[@Alyona-ty4pp]

Blue jeans isn't the best for SC. Solid white and navy blue look much more sofisticated.

[@minervarose7664]

I think blue jeans can work great on SC as long as they are well tailored. And they shouldn't be "exaggerated" in any direction - not extremely high-waisted but not hipsters/ low-slung either...not baggy/ extreme wide leg but not skintight skinny jeans either. I think a mid-rise straight-cut or bootcut blue jean paired with a pretty chiffon, silk or cotton shirt (tucked in of course!) and a delicate pair of sandals or classic heels - depending on the occasion - can look wonderful on a SC!

[@jeannette7243]

Great advice, thank you. I accidentally clicked the 'thumbs down' bottom. please ignore.

[@lauren8627]

Soft classic is the worst. You need expensive clothes/fabric that ironing. I actually hate being this shape because I have to try extra hard just to look acceptable. And the tucking tops into jeans and skirts goes really nicely with my post baby pooch. Ugh.

[@SexyTCAPdecoy4Hansen]

😂😂😂 fucking same!

[@JoojieXD]

I'm TR but have strong classic essence. It's interesting how pretty much all these SC outfits can also be worn by TR. I love classic outfits.
