Great video. You are the first that I have come across which clearly states that SN has some vertical and needs an uninterrupted line. This makes sense when you think about where their place in the yin-yang spectrum, between DC and FN, which both have verticality to them. Also I like the point of being able to breathe in the clothing vs. feeling restricted or in a cage, but at the same type not having the clothes so loose that they hide the body. That is a fine balance, which I think is quite an art to master. I thought that I was FN because I do have some vertical at 5'7, but the FN lines really overwhelms me, and I do need that touch of yin in my look, so I finally feel I have found my Kibbe home 😌
I’m a soft natural and this video is so incredibly helpful. THANK YOU!!! If you do a follow-up video, I would love to see your take on plus sized soft naturals. And how the different essences work with soft naturals (I think I have some Gamine essence and sometimes it’s tricky to find the right balance). ❤❤❤
What a thorough breakdown of the Soft Natural type! I'm really impressed with how much work you put into this and the photos are very helpful. I am SN, leaning more Fergie than Scarlett, but I'm 66 so my waist has thickened. I also don't have a Romantic essence so I'm actually really uncomfortable in deep V necks, etc. Plus my hair is fine and not thick enough to grow long. So some of the typical SN recommendations don't work for me. I guess every SN has to figure out what works for her and adjust accordingly. Thanks again for an excellent video!
Hands down the best soft natural styling video I’ve seen. I love this “field guide” approach! Wonderfully systematic concise breakdown with fantastic examples illustrating the style do’s and don’ts.
I am a soft natural and loved your view over this type! I have a strong classic essence and I am really petit, 5’1 feet , although with a moderare vertical line! So I would love to see some ideas com acomodanting short hight and classic essence in a SN body type!
Wow magnificent video, thank you so much for investing the time and creating this detailed presentation. So far the best one I saw on UA-cam. I am a soft natural and this was very very helpful❤❤❤
This was beautifully done. The original Kibbe guidelines, while a helpful start, tend to obviously cater to a specific coloring at certain points. That in itself is problematic and not helpful. Your suggestions really helped correct a lot of these issues so that the body guides can be better applied. I appreciate this video❤
This is such a thorough video! I got mostly B’s and some D’s with a couple of E’s this feels like me. I was going on vides before and thought is was an SD, but the quiz has me here.
This is really good. I have been trying to figure out whether I was flamboyant, natural or soft natural cause i'm quite curvy. I really got a big butt definitely. When I was younger and skinnier, it was somewhat hourglass. But I have big eyes in on ingnue, everybody always thinks i'm so young. I know there was a girl that had natural and ingenue in your video. I think I look good in soft natural fabrics and pants that are like linen or cotton and kind of flow over the body. It always makes me look a really good And smaller and curvier. It looks good when I wear crops sweaters. But I think I look best with a pixxy cut As long as it has texture. I definitely have cool undertones. I definitely don't look good when I wear ornate Eye makeup. I've had a hard time figuring out my type. I'm not super tall, 5 7 - 5 8 When you have that girl with the big eyes I think her name was laura, I don't know the actress? She had both natural and ingenu and reminded me a lot of my face, I definitely have romantic in my face as well. The essence stuff really helps to understand but there's different types with the essence.
I think your added notes are so helpful. I wouldn’t be caught dead in pastels or most bright colors. Your color season determines your best colors, not Kibbe body type
This was great, thank you. My only comment is that, I do look better with minimal to no makeup. It doesn't necessarily age me or make me look matronly.
Wow I’m not even finished but I need to say that this is honestly the most thorough in depth kibbe video I’ve ever seen. I love how deeply you analyze this. Very helpful and helped me understand kibbe in a way I hadn’t before ❤❤❤keep posting videos 😊
I have spent several years, trying to figure out the descriptions that you just gave! 😂 And you added a few that I hadn’t come up with for myself. Well done! The only one I vary from a bit is that I tend to wear slightly chunkier shoes, especially when I am carrying more weight. Just a little heel or platform or texture, etc. seems to help me feel more in balance.
You have a new subscriber 🎉. Thanks so much for this. The photo examples really help. I'd love to see what you could put together for soft gamine. I feel like I'm a soft natural but with a strong gamine essence. It's confusing when some style lines are contradictory between the two!
amazing video. i actually wasn't convinced i was a soft natural but throughout watching this, i was like "ah so that's why i liked those silhouttes more on me!" extremely eye-opening and detailed. subscribed!
This was so helpful thank you! I feel quite frumpy/matronly in natural lines but I’m definitely not a dramatic and I’m not Yang in anyway 😭 it’s so confusing
You have confirmed for me that i am soft natural. I always knew I was a natural but because my hair is thin (and now gray) I have mostly worn it short and i feel like it plays the yang card too much so i wondered if i was flamboyant….I WISH I KNEW WHAT TO DO WITH MY THINNER GRAY HAIR! IF YOU EVER WANT TO DO A GRAY HAIR video I would appreciate it!…..PS when I look back at all my favorite outfits of a lifetime they all fall within these parameters. Now I sew and it is far too easy to get seduced by cute little perky prints. I have to be disciplined.
I think you've identified the wrong Fergie here. Kibbe typed Sarah Ferguson (Duchess of York) who is nicknamed Fergie. Though Fergie the singer could also be an unverified SN
So, question for you when it comes to print for the body types. I have a soft natural body type, romantic essence but I also have ingenue/gamine . For these essences a tiny print is recommended. Big prints age me a lot. I guess I just kind of get confused when people mix in essence terminology with body type terminology. I thought that a combo of both is what makes the look work is the case that it really just depends on the person then?
Depends on how much of those essences are your dominant,if is the large scale essence dominant, than you'e gonna use more large scale prints, if they are almost the same percentage,than medium size might be better,or medium-small/medium-large.

This is the most fleshed out guide I’ve ever seen for body types on UA-cam. This is insanely helpful. Much appreciated

I am a soft natural and this was very very helpful❤❤❤
Finally, I see myself. Thank you 😊
One of the clearest videos on SN that I’ve watched. Thank you!
Best video on soft naturals. However, Heidi Klum is flamboyant natural.

INCREDIBLE VIDEO!!! Srsly! Thank you so so much for explaining it! I think I finally get it because of you ❤
This was absolutely incredible! Thank u!! U are so generous with your time to have offered this for free. Amazing ❤

Okay i was between soft dramatic and soft natural for a long time but ive watched both your breakdowns and i think i am soft natural.
I have spent several years, trying to figure out the descriptions that you just gave! 😂 And you added a few that I hadn’t come up with for myself. Well done! The only one I vary from a bit is that I tend to wear slightly chunkier shoes, especially when I am carrying more weight. Just a little heel or platform or texture, etc. seems to help me feel more in balance.
Just learned my body type and this was so good! Thank you for sharing! - Off to figure out my essence ✨
If I'm not mistaken, Kibbe recently retyped Jane Fonda as a Flamboyant Natural.
That would make sense as she appears so tall.
Thank you! This was the best video I have seen on my body type and I feel now feel prepared to shop!
11:39 Heidi Klum! I’m not saying she can’t be but was not expecting that at all!
You have a new subscriber 🎉. Thanks so much for this. The photo examples really help. I'd love to see what you could put together for soft gamine. I feel like I'm a soft natural but with a strong gamine essence. It's confusing when some style lines are contradictory between the two!
I loved this! Very comprehensive! Great examples!
amazing video. i actually wasn't convinced i was a soft natural but throughout watching this, i was like "ah so that's why i liked those silhouttes more on me!" extremely eye-opening and detailed. subscribed!
Amazing content cannot wait for TR
I think this my type definitely ❤
This was so helpful thank you! I feel quite frumpy/matronly in natural lines but I’m definitely not a dramatic and I’m not Yang in anyway 😭 it’s so confusing
If you have no yang elements, start looking at Romantic lines
You have confirmed for me that i am soft natural. I always knew I was a natural but because my hair is thin (and now gray) I have mostly worn it short and i feel like it plays the yang card too much so i wondered if i was flamboyant….I WISH I KNEW WHAT TO DO WITH MY THINNER GRAY HAIR!

Vary helpful thanks for information❤
Amazing guide. ❤
Very helpful. Thank you 🥰
Professional / officewear outfits for soft naturals plz..

Very thorough, thank you!
Thank you ❤
I think you've identified the wrong Fergie here. Kibbe typed Sarah Ferguson (Duchess of York) who is nicknamed Fergie. Though Fergie the singer could also be an unverified SN
Hi, I think i'm a soft natural, do you know what sunglasses would suit a soft natural?
So, question for you when it comes to print for the body types. I have a soft natural body type, romantic essence but I also have ingenue/gamine . For these essences a tiny print is recommended. Big prints age me a lot. I guess I just kind of get confused when people mix in essence terminology with body type terminology. I thought that a combo of both is what makes the look work is the case that it really just depends on the person then?
Depends on how much of those essences are your dominant,if is the large scale essence dominant, than you'e gonna use more large scale prints, if they are almost the same percentage,than medium size might be better,or medium-small/medium-large.
You can always do a regular, repetitive print on a larger scale. That would honor your frame and essence
I’m a natural but this description doesn’t fit with me…I’m going with small 164cm (5’4,5) Flamboyant natural. Thanks for sharing this 😊
👍
I'm a 5'10 Soft Natural
