Image consultant David Kibbe developed a body typing method that considers more than just our bust, waist and hip measurements to give us 1 of 13 body types. Each type comes with clothing recommendations that are supposed to enhance your unique features rather than camouflage them. Today, I'm sharing an overview of Kibbe's system, how you can figure out which type you are, my own type and how it can be used to enhance your personal style. I hope this is helpful and thanks so much for watching! xx Audrey

I did't like Kibbe's method at first. I found it overwhelming and did't like the recommendations for my body tipe... until I realize I had taken the quizz incorrectly.
I loathed that whole fruit system, I mean who wants to be an APPLE or a PEAR - or any fruit for that matter? :D I also didn't like the way - which you mentioned in the video - that system tells you to hide parts of yourself. I've always had a bit of a belly, but I never felt the need to hide it, definitely not with some huge granny-caftan which ages me 20 years. Now I know I'm a soft natural in the Kibbe system and no longer feel like I look great naked but awful with clothes on. :D I've found the best lines for me and find it incredibly helpful. I also recommend Aly Art and Merriam Style.
When I was in my early 40s a friend and I took a 3 full day course and I’m sure this was a part of it. I can’t begin to tell how much money it’s saved me. I’m petite but have a short neck and this was addressed. I no longer wear turtlenecks and am so much happier. I never felt dressed up in my black silk shirt dress with the pointed collar because it didn’t fit my personality. The collar made it more casual and it wasn’t “me”. These are just a couple of things addressed in the class along with hairstyles, color, body shape, style. That class was one of the best things I have ever done. You could see in pictures of people with similar body shapes and personalities what worked and what didn’t. Thank you for this, Audrey, it was very enlightening. I agree that we should wear what makes us feel good and right, but sometimes what we love isn't flattering on us and we don't know why. This is when this method is helpful.
I went to David kibbe in 1988 he did me as a Soft classic. It changed my life nothing but positive and he did my colors soft summer light.
Fellow Soft Classic here! It definitely clicked for me when I discovered Kibbe about a year ago. I realized why certain clothes just never felt at home on my body, no matter how much I wanted to make them work (hello, my boho years), and why I finally feel like I can wear all my clothes all the time.
I like this body type way analysis better and I feel like this is the one we should use more since it celebrates who we are more. :-)
Think this can be good to stop marketing ...selling and influencing us into a fashion or trend which dosnt suit us..then is purchased and not worn .
very interesting! with all the different body types, shapes and sizes no wonder we struggle to find well fitting clothes when brands make the clothes from a pattern that would suit one shape very well and then just shrink or enlarge them for sizing.
I have been working through Kibbe lately and find it so fascinating. It certainly helped me to understand why I gravitate to certain style. Thanks for the video!
I've been following Kibbe's system for a while, it's been super helpful! I should mention it's about lines of clothing and the cut and material as it fits on the body. It's not about necessarily the style of the clothing item. That can be anything although most cuts tend to be similar styles.
Audrey, this video Changed. My. Life. after this video I took the test and did more research and found out I'm a soft classic - I love wearing lots of interesting styles but now I realize why I never felt my best in them - they throw me off balance!! Thank you so much for sharing this!
It is so impressive that each and every one of your videos give me something new and interesting and has immensely helped me develop and understand my personal style. Your channel has been very helpful. Thanks a lot Audrey!
Yep!!! The Kibbee System is FABULOUS!!!! I think he's the BEST!!!!!
I took an online test and based on the score it gave me, I was in between types. After reading the descriptions, I lean towards Gamine more. I love this boyish vibe and found out that it's what I've always have naturally gravitated towards.
Soft Gamine here! 🙋🏻 It took me a while to find out, but I finally realised why I always look better with short touseled hair, fitted clothes with waist emphasis, colourblocking and medium-weight fabrics. I thought I was a Soft Natural at first, but I would catch myself looking sloppy sometimes. In the end, it was because my skeleton was too small to hold the Natural kind of looks. I looked like I was drowning in my clothes! But now that I'm following the recommendations for SGs, I look put-together, and I feel much better about my body, knowing that the opposites of Yin and Yang parts of my body is what makes my body proportionate as a SG. ✨
Love your videos, Audrey! I've been really interested in the Kibbe typing and also color typing for a while and I'm always happy to discover a new take on it!
One word THANKS! You make it so simple and give so much freedom in your advice! Thank you!!!!
