Soft classic is the hardest for me, because I cannot have a day where my hair is messy, my clothes are large and comfy, i look like a hobo, when everyone else does it, it looks normal, with me it looks like im going through something, either just came out of jail or was homeless for a month. It's hell!! I cant look put together 24/7 it's tiring
You are not alone! Have the exact same issue. For me, if i have a really "comfy" weekend at home - having a soft, but fitting pyjamas and braids have become my go to. Looks less trollish than eg sweetpants. My mom is a flamboyant natural and i do envy her looking cool in slightly tussled hair.
You don’t need much detail on your clothes. You pretty much can just put your hair in a ponytail or move it to the side, usually if I want to go a comfortable fit, I’ll wear a fitted white t- shirt with some pointy close toe Sandals and regular mid waist cigarette, straight leg, pants I’ve even been able to pull off yoga pants looks pretty good to me
Not necessarily, your ID and coloring are not related, if you are a soft classic but your best colors are dark and bright,then bright and dark will suit you regardless. That is becauseif you startto think that all SC need to have soft contrastand low chroma,than you might say a personisnta SC just becauseshe/he as high contrast and bright/dark coloring, is like saying all dramatics have dark hair and are bright,whichis not true(Taylorswift and Kate Blanchet as an example. )@@mariavictoriasalita5273
Can you address casual, everyday wear for a retired soft classic? Most of my office clothes don't work for my new lifestyle and I'm having trouble transitioning. Love your channel!!!
I enjoy slighly cropped pants with elastic or half elastic waist (tailored athleisure, if you like) and a sweater , low heeled boots. Also straight leg, high waist denim with a soft collarless shirt or blouse. I rarely wear skirts or dresses on casual days but I do love a knee length, body skimming sweater dress.. For complete dress down I like high waisted, slim, soft joggers and matching or tonal hoodie or sweater, and running shoes.
I commented this to another person but I think it might apply here as well: I wonder if you would benefit from some comfy matching sets in a material like linen or 100% cotton. You could try to find like a loose but slightly cropped linen button down and matching loose high waisted pants or something similar. That way it has the comfort of an athleisure outfit but it has a more classy, put together feel. Idk where you’re from but I’ve seen a lot of that kind of thing in stores lately and it seems like a good option for classics who want to wear something comfy and casual to the grocery store but don’t feel like athleisure is working. Also, like someone else said, have your hair up looks great on classics usually. I think that the claw clip trend is a huge win for classics. Pull your hair back into a tight updo with a claw clip and you’ll be trendy and it will look great. I don’t think people need to follow all the trends by any means, but if there’s a trend that happens to be great with your body type, may as well enjoy it!
Me, too. I look like I have chicken legs, lol. I'm experimenting now with baking soda and water to clear out toxins and heavy metals, it also creates an alkaline ph. You can look up the recipe on line. I overdid it the first time, so be careful. This is an experiment, but it's never bad to remove toxins.
I am definitely a soft classic. Where I vary is that even with weight gain, I still have a bit of a defined waist, I don’t have full lips and I do have very defined cheek bones, but still pretty soft generally, so I assume I’d still be considered soft classic.
Everything but my prominent nose fits this description. I appreciate your work; it's helping me to really understand and curate styles that suit me much more quickly and easily. Thank you 🙌🏼
Thank you Aly! Can you make a video on wear to find the clothes recommendations? As a soft classic I feel like I’m somewhat limited since stores are having an oversized moment.
Thrift stores are a great option! They have fashion from every era so there’s often stuff you won’t find in stores now. It takes some hunting around, but it’s well worth the treasures you’ll find!
Today I was in my dance class and I looked up in the mirror and saw how balanced my face was compared to my counterparts…I had never seen myself that way before.
@@katharinaheckmann4962 Its basically when your body's silouhette is made of two circles on top of each other. I thought it was only for romantics before.
Than that sistem does not make sence anymore. How a soft classic can have double curve when that is only exclusive for romantics? If a person is curve dominant, than is not balanced anymore.
@@YumeraChauque That was an exception case for that specific SC and it was probably not dominant enough to make her an R. However it is R, TR and SG that can have double curve.
Hi Aly! Would you say that the "Dark Academia" style suits Soft Classics? I've been trying to go for this type of clothes, but still adapt it for hot weather (I'm from a tropical country). What do you think? Thank you for your videos!
Aly, I have noticed that you don't answer the questions you get. A while ago I sent you a message on facebook, but you didn't answer that either. That's rude and unprofessional.
Dear Peachy is a UA-cam channel that has information on this subject. P. S. Do you know how many people write to Aly? I don't think she can keep up with all of them.
I have been trying to determine my Kibbe type, but I have an issue concerning height. I have rather severe scoliosis of the spine that was never treated. Consequently, I stand at 5 feet 4 inches, but my height would have been 5' 6 or 7 without the spinal curvature. I am small boned and slender with somewhat sharp facial features. Everyone tells me I must be a gamine, but I cannot see myself as that at all. The answers to a Kibbe questionnaire always come up as dramatic classic. My question is do I think of myself as the taller or the shorter height when determining type? Thank you.
Idk if this is right, but fact is that you’re working with the height you have now so that’s what I’d go with. Maybe you would have had more vertical, but you didn’t end up having that, so no need to factor in vertical that isn’t there
Would love to see a breakdown on women’s suiting for SC. What type of shoulder? Lapel shape? Pockets? What shirts to wear underneath the jacket? Single or double breasted? Fabrics? Structured clothing easily looks too masculine on me, but unstructured is just as easily oversized and floppy. And the in between examples for mid- and plus-sizes look sooo dated. What’s up with that? I’m tired of looking like a mess at work. Please help a girl out 🙏
I reckon fitted, waist-length suit jackets/blazers with soft, slightly rounded lapels and edges, single breasted (double seems too wide since classics are medium width), soft light fabrics, not too structured heavy or stiff. Also, high waisted, slim fit tailored pants made of soft material. And for shirts, choose a softer more blouse-y top, collarless and again made of lighter, soft material that’s still nicely fitted - not too tight nor too loose
Is there a possibilty of being between a SC and an FG? When first doing the Kibbe Test I got the result of Flamboyant Gamine. But watching vidoes about it it didn't feel right. So I did it again after a while and then decided that I was a Soft Classic (althought I have 2x D and 2x C under bone structure and 4x C under body flesh + facial structure - so the other way round of Kibbe's definition of Soft Classic - and overall just one more D/E than C - 7x D/E and 6x C). Is this mixture of D/E and C indicating that I'm in between SC and FG but since my bone structure is 2x D and 2x C I'm more drawn to Soft Classic? I'm not curvy but not straight either and I'm an apple shape when I gain weight (meaning that I gain weight first around my waist) and my limbs are quite short in comparison to my body = SC, but my bustline is small but broad = leaning towards FG. When looking at only parts of my face they are mostly D/E = in combination with my 2x D and 2x C answers for my bone structure: leaning towards SC, but when looking at it as a whole it looks very "bland" (without ANY edge - not chiselled at all but also without any roundness - maybe because I'm half Asian so I have a very flat face compared to Europeans) but I've always been told that I have something masculine in my face (in my youth I've been mistaken for being gay a couple of times) and I have VERY fine, thin and wavy hair = ?? a mixture of SC and FG? And although I don't have any edges and have many round shapes (like my knees aren't chiselled at all and quite fleshy) I don't have much of a waiste. I'm much more drawn to Soft Classic than Flamboyant Gamine and I guess I would go with it if my hair wasn't that fine, thin and wavy and if I didn't look so horrible in flowy, softer clothes but so much better in crisper, straighter lines.. (Because I have so many D/E I'm not a Dramatic Classic either! So please help! 😭)
I reckon go with what feels good to wear and what you feel like you look good in. The typologies aren’t perfect. But it sounds like you’re leaning mostly towards soft classic except the hair? I wouldn’t worry about a single feature, if the overall is in line with SC. Is it possible the flowing clothes you dislike are too loose and floaty? Almost sounds more Natural the way you put it. SC is first and foremost a classic type and needs clean clear lines and well fitted (but not tight and not too loose) garments. Maybe you’re closer to a true classic and need to add a tad more structure to the mix. But in the first place, flowy and soft for a SC definitely does not mean unstructured/formless. Needs to be well fitted just not stiff and heavy.
I don't think so, it's probably just a generalization. I saw in one video an actress (i think...) who's a dramatic classic but is 5'4. I just use these as guides instead of rules. I'm so sure my mom is also soft classic like me but she's 5'2. Since we're southeast asians, people here are more on the shorter side.
I also always take the Kibbe heights as guidelines, not rules. What is important is the overall proportions of the body, not the literal height. I think people get a little too caught up in the heights mentioned and think that they are hard and fast rules, when Kibbe himself never followed them! 😂 So, if you think you are a soft classic and all evidence points to that except for the number measurement of your height, you probably are a soft classic! Proportion is everything.
Question on height: "You are kind of short, even one doesn't think of it, since you look balanced. But you are almost 10 cm shorter than all of us." My team of coworkers, all naturals and dramatics. I am tall by soft classic standard with my 166cm, however I am almost always the shortest woman in the room. Since I apparently am "shortish" by local standards, and "tall" by Kibe. Is the vast majority of native Swedish women just natural or dramatic, or did Kibe only look at a relatively short population?? 🤔
I'm a soft classic with long staight hair. I only wear it 3 ways. Partly because it's frizzy so I have to keep the top slicked back with hairspray. I wear it in a sleek low pony tail, A low bun, or half up half down. It's always long enough to hang below my shoulders. I used to be able to pull off headbands but now they make my headache. Same with a French twist style with claw clip. The most important thing is that it's not hanging in my face.
who do you think is the closest to each pure type? I know Kibbe does not keep these anymore but it really helps me personally to have a scale. I use pictures of celebrities before plastic surgery to help me spot the types in my everyday life.
I’m a little confused by this. I think I have a soft classic face but I’m 5’8 with long legs and athletic build when I am thin . If I gain weight it is in waistline and arms first. I feel like I have mixed messages going on! What could I be?
Most likely, yes. It’s about what’s overall the best fit, rather than needing to check every single box, and visually what you look like (“vertical line” I.e. how tall you look like you are based on how big your head is compared with your body), rather than necessarily your actual height. I’m 5,1 and learning about SC has been a revelation. It all fits shockingly well and explains so much about why I feel uncomfortable in certain looks and why I got told off for messy hair in the past 😅
@BloodSweatandFears I've seen everywhere from 5'5 - 5'7 for Grace, and it's a bit confusing since she's listed as Pure Classic in the book (which can be up to 5'7) but was later moved to Soft Classic (5'6 limit). I wonder if the elimination of Pure Classic gives Soft Classic that extra inch now...? Kibbe is re-writing the book, so perhaps he would specify there.
@BloodSweatandFears Yeah, I feel you! Finding the right type can take ages, but I've learned a ton from studying and my style has improved significantly since the start, so I think it's worth it! I assumed for a long time I must be some type of Gamine because my face looks Gamine, but then I learned Kibbe doesn't use the face to type anymore since the system is more about clothing lines. I realize now that I'm some type of Classic, but I can't seem to commit to either Yin or Yang, so I just use Pure Classic recommendations, even though Kibbe eliminated the category. I still think it works!
Bruh if I wanted to have a book read to me, I’d listen to an audiobook. Where’s your own input? I felt like I was in a classroom trying to listen to the lecture and also take in the visual input lmfao
*Marion Cotillard (actress in the thumbnail) always looked DRAMATIC Classic to me. Look at her sharp nose, sharp shoulders, and sharp jaw. It is more obvious in other photos of her on the internet.*

“The waist is the first place to lose its definition if gained weight” explains it for me 😔

As with me!
Finally soft classic! Thankss
I look like exactly these celebrities. I found my type 😊 thanks
Thank you Aly! Can you make a video on wear to find the clothes recommendations? As a soft classic I feel like I’m somewhat limited since stores are having an oversized moment.
Ugh, yes. I can buy it in a smaller size, but the drop-shoulder still makes everything look frumpy and undone.

I think I found myself. Never saw so many bodies that looked like mine
Today I was in my dance class and I looked up in the mirror and saw how balanced my face was compared to my counterparts…I had never seen myself that way before.
Supermodel height, a long neck and a sharp jawline would have been so nice . Suffice it to say I wish I could switch body types .
I look tall, long neck and sharp jawline. Is it soft classic?
