I am a soft classic and ONE time I wore scrubs to work that were full of animated pictures of tinkerbell. Everybody else wears cartoon scrubs many times a week, but the ONE time I wore mine I got asked if it was Halloween. Now I finally get why.
You know what i rhink about? Audrey Hepburn, flamboyant gamine, in "brealfast at Tyffany's" with the small black dress that supposed to be boring but all added detail in jewelery, big hair and strong makeup made it gorgeous and elegant when piling it up on a classic lady would just look like a parody.
I just wanna say that you can be a flamboyant gamine and still be a minimalist, I just add some colour to my usually black, grey,white or camel outfits and keep the lines geometric and respect the lines, you don't have to wear polka dots and a lot of different patterns to look good! Think of Audrey Hepburn!
THIS is why I've always hated shopping and have lived in tshirts and jeans forever! As a soft classic, almost all women's clothes I find is too cute and detailed than I like or look good in. Thanks for the video!
As a flamboyant gamine who really loves that minimalist/chic look on others, I always wondered why I felt like it looked so boring and dull on me!!! Your description was amazing, it's wonderful to know I can still look chic with quite a bit of detail. (Why is it so hard to look at yourself objectively?!?) Thanks for making this video!!
I really love the way you think and teach this. I understand Kibbe a lot more from watching your videos. I can tell you're really creative. Only a creative person can problem solve like this.
This is my favorite of all of your videos. I was afraid to admit that my body was dramatic classic because I thought any "drama" made me look masculine and because my face has gentle curves rather than the sharpness that DC ladies have (more yin like theatrical romantic), but this made me realize that I looked "masculine" when I tried to wear super cutsy clothing because those lines are not right for my body, but I look adorable when the lines are right! Thank you so much!
It took me a while to accept that I am a dramatic classic. I always struggled with the being fun department. Everyone would tell me that I looked so nice in the more classic stuff but I wanted to be more fun, interesting and care free. I used to take it too far though. That left me with a closet filled with items that looked like costumes that I couldn't mix and match at all.
This is such a well and thoughtfully done video. I think the "classics being boring" stereotype was really perpetuated with some of the videos that Carole Jackson and others put out in the late 80's. They seemed to glamorize the dramatics, the gamines were fun and childlike, the romantics were pudgy and wore a lot of lace, and then everyone else was chopped liver. lol. Well, I take that back. The naturals were reaaaalllyy into sports. I specifically remember one of the actresses who was identified as classic for the video ask the presenter "Well, what if I like to wear a more romantic line from time to time, would that be alright?" The presenter responded with something to the effect of that she would look ridiculous and too overdone if she went outside her lines and to sort of get over it. I think it's only recently that we've been starting to figure out that the box that each of the categories we fall into really isn't so tiny and conforming, and there is actually a lot of room to play around within each set of recs.
Thank you for this video! Now I understand why my best friend ( flamboyant gamine) can wear all the crazy colors and patterns and look great and for me (some kind of classic) an ornate belt could be sometimes overwhelming. 😁
i would love more videos like this on other body types (like naturals 😭); this was so interesting!! and the elemental comparisons at the end were a nice touch!
Can’t tell you how much I appreciate this and the way you explain everything in detail is beautiful. I am a dramatic classic and now I understand why I felt boring growing up. Everything about me is so average and I would try and make myself look more unique by dressing crazy. But now I’m older and happy with a minimalist style
This was very helpful, thank you! What I am getting is that the Soft Gamines are slightly boxier, less curvy, and details make them look lively and interesting; meanwhile, Dramatic Classics are curvier, and patterns often distract from their natural shapes. Gamines are paintings, and Classics are sculptures.
I adore your videos, I get so happy when you upload, I would love to hear your opinion on looks for a soft natural, and how could one achieve a more cute girly look or a more glamorous look instead of just the relaxed girl type.
I am a size small and for a while I thought the right way for me was picking up the tiny shirt or jacket or dress...when I realized I was soft natural, I tried picking up size small t-shirts that look a bit oversized on me and wow! What a difference, I look so much better. That relaxed look really confirmed I was right. An interesting fact is that I am only 5’ 2” but I had a growth issue when I was a child (I could had meant to be taller) this made very confusing to identify my body type (I thought I was TR) but when I focused on my bone structure and the lines that made me look more sophisticated, it was very clear I was a soft natural.

Nothing on Soft Classics at all. It appears this type is one of the least represented in Kibbe related in videos. :(
Soft natural is so confusing. I need more info and help with clothes. I feel like there isn't much info for soft naturals.

lmao @ the dramatic classic who had the audacity to say they're unfun when they lived rent free in YSL's head

The XS example was hilarious! 🤣🤣 But it also made me understand the concept a LOT better: thank you!

Now I understand why I look my best when I put it the minimum effort eg going out for errands or not being in a mood to dress up.
