Kibbe Body Types, Part 1: Gillian Anderson

Building off of the Kibbe Body Types primer post here, we jump straight into Gillian Anderson of The X-Files fame.

David's up next, don't you worry! I'm tackling GA first because I have ample information to fact and figure my way through the system (and because it's slim pickings finding fashion advice for men's body types); and thought I'd get the convoluted, detailed analysis out of the way on this post so we don't retrace our steps in the next.

Onwards~

**Note**: If you want to skip right down to Gillian, search for Gillian Anderson: the Results header.

KIBBE BODY TYPES: A SHORT SUMMARY

(You can skip this section if you just want to know Gillian's frame, proportions, and Kibbe Type-- no sweat off my back.)

David Kibbe constructed a system that measures the soft and structure, short and tall, wide and narrow, yin and yang of the body frame: its skeleton, its curves, its musculature, and its fleshiness. It's strictly a practical science that explains how best to dress to balance out one's natural features, regardless of weight gain, weight loss, or aging. This system is not about correcting the "flaws" of a person's body, but understanding why a garment, accessory, etc. does or does not naturally suit the lines of the body.

Kibbe used to have 13 types (that included pure Natural, pure Classic, and pure Gamine) but recently winnowed them down to ten.

(**Note**: I have written about them in more detail-- with pictures included-- in my previous post mentioned above. Highly recommend.)

(Credit to: Aly Art)

Dramatics have the most yang of the body types: tall, lean, and narrow vertical lines, with the least amount of softness to their flesh ("fleshiness."). They have long bones and sharp curves that are best accommodated by long, clean lines and long silhouettes (no color blocking.) Their hair looks best in clean, carefully styled lines-- geometrics, blunt cuts, etc.-- without too much of a wispy or tousled appearance. They do best without waist emphasis or shorter lines in their outfits, appearing to advantage in long, boxy silhouettes.

Soft Dramatics have the Dramatic Type structure with added softness to their curves, giving them a full-bodied, "heavy" voluptuousness (as opposed to a delicate weightlessness.) They look better in soft but weighty fabrics, with big, rounded silhouettes and lines that curve around their figure and emphasize their waist. Again, like Dramatics, they need carefully styled hairs, looking undone tousled hair or too much wispiness.

Flamboyant Naturals are midsize to very tall, with width and bluntness to their elongated frames. Their very pronounced wide shoulders and narrow waist and hips create an unmistakable T-shape (and have been the sought-after body type for runway supermodels since the 90s.) They look their best in big, oversized, relaxed fits; big, tousled, crazy hair; long, vertical lines without color blocking. Nothing too stiff or too delicate and weightless.

Soft Naturals are normally midsize to slightly smaller, with wide, blunt edges to their elongated bones. Their more proportionate frames and softer flesh on their arms and legs help them appear more "womanly" than FNs. Slightly tousled, slightly crazy hair; a slight waist emphasis; and long, unconstructed lines layered with different fits, patterns, and colors look best on them-- "feminine undone", in other words. Anything too stiff make them appear "heavier" than they are.

Dramatic Classics are midsize to tall, with a very balanced, symmetrical frame proportionate to their length and width. They have a touch more yang to their skeleton: a bit more sharpness in their bones, a bit squarish in the face and shoulders. Clean, symmetrical, sharply tailored outfits look best on them; and they are able to mix the angularity of men's and femininity of women's styles if they keep their lines in the right places. Hair is incredibly important to maintain-- keeping their dead ends cut regularly is a must.

Soft Classics are midsize to petite, with a very balanced, symmetrical frame proportionate to their length and width. They have a touch more yin to their skeleton: a bit more softness to their flesh, a bit more roundness to their proportionate edges. Symmetrical, clean, "every hair in place" look is best for them; with a touch of yin to balance the touch of softness in their flesh. Well-tailored, lightweight fabrics and polished hairstyles look best on them-- not too stiff, not too delicate; not too tousled, not too structured, not too layered. Hair is incredibly important to maintain-- it makes or breaks their look.

Flamboyant Gamines are midsize to tallish, an uneven mixture of opposites with a predominant yang majority. They have a smallish, rectangular figure-- small Dramatics (without the long vertical line.) "Tailored, color blocks, irregular shapes, mishmash-- they can mix whatever they want." Hair can be in any shape or style they want, unless it is long; in which case, it must be "crazy." Their waist does not need to be emphasized; and cropped lines will always look good.

Soft Gamines are petite, an uneven mixture of opposites with a predominant yin majority. They are small and rounded, often feeling awkward, puffy, or overweight (when they are not) in super feminine lines: their bone structure is slightly too angular-- though still fleshy-- to be comfortable in completely yin fits. Lines should be crips, color blocked, with waist emphasis: "puffy things with very precise ends." It's best when clothes are fitted at the neck or shoulders or elbows or wrist or waist or hips or knees or ankles; and in between those points, the material can be relaxed, with gathers or looser knitting. "Feminine or weightless things should have added weight: color blocking, bright colors, etc. Hairstyles that are feminine and tousled look best. Cropped lines will always work best.

Romantics have the most yin of the body types: midsize to petite, with a very curvy, "lush", feminine "fleshy" roundness. Their bones are short and slightly wide; but still appear delicate. "They look best with waist emphasis, weightless fabrics, and gentle silhouettes. Gentle colors, slightly transparent fabrics or lace, flowers, gentle ruffles-- everything that is weightless and not super stiff. Same with hair: something that will still have body and some femininity-- curly hair, wavy hair... if straight, it can be slightly longer. Delicate things should present in their look."

Theatrical Romantics are midsize to petite; and are "the same as Romantic but with thinner bones. They are still short, but thinner. They are not as wide-- imagine a narrow hourglass-- small hands, thin fingers. They look best in small, ornate, and sophisticated clothes."

BEGINNING OUR PROCESS OF ELIMINATION

I'm going to be using Aly Art's body type quiz (here); and pictures from her and Merriam Style's quiz (here.)

David Kibbe is adamant that height be factored into the body types-- women's bodies, particularly-- so we shall begin our journey there.

Dramatics: 5’9"/173cm and up

Soft Dramatics: 5’7”/170cm and up

Theatrical Naturals: 5’11”/180cm and up

Soft Naturals: 5’5”/165cm and up

Dramatic Classics: 5’5”-5’8”/166-172cm or thereabouts

Soft Classics: 5’5"-5'6”/164-169cm

Romantics: 5’5"/166cm or thereabouts

Theatrical Romantics: 5’2”/157cm or thereabouts

Flamboyant Gamines: 5’6”/168cm and under

Soft Gamines: 5’2”/157cm or thereabouts

As we can see, Gillian at 5'2" can only fit into Gamines, Romantics, or perhaps Classics. We shall see how this shakes out.

TAKING A (SHORTENED) KIBBE BODY TYPE QUIZ

The purpose of David Kibbe's body type quiz is (or was) to identify the visual weight-- the presence or gravitas-- of the bone structure. To loosely quote Merriam Style: "The first thing we want to think about when we think about bone structure: are the bones longer-- offering a lot of structure to bear up visual "weight"-- or are they smaller and shorter-- offering less support for heavier visual weights?"

An overall view is crucial: two body types can share nearly identical faces; or one person can have a lot of yang in their facial features but have dominant yin in the rest of their body; or any other disastrous event can happen that will topple the whole franchise.

We're eliminating B options from this list (as they pertain strictly to Natural Body Types), as well as two questions in Kibbe's original quiz (which he has either loosened or tightened restrictions on, respectively.)

Majority As and Es points to Gamine Body Types (Kibbe no longer stands by this pure classification)

Majority As and Es with several Bs points to Flamboyant Gamine Body Types

Majority As and Es with several Ds point to Soft Gamine

Gilian Anderson: the Results

Gillian has an overall short, delicate, softly narrow body (D): moderate shoulders (C); small, slightly shortish arms and legs (D); small, narrow, delicate hands and feet (D); a bust and torso in even proportion to her waist and hips (C); a proportionate hipline and waistline (C); delicate, tapered jawline (D); soft and slightly short fleshy arms and thighs (D); delicately rounded cheekbones (D) and cheeks (D); delicately tapered nose (D); very round, very large eyes (E); and very full, rounded, luscious lips (E).

In summary, GA has 8 Ds, 4 Cs, and 2 Es.

Thus, we can conclude Gillian Anderson is a majoirty D type, meaning she is a Theatrical Romantic: delicate, petite bone structure with a touch of yang that narrows the soft width of her features. She looks best in waist-emphasis outfits; small, delicate patterns; and carefully groomed, softened hairstyles.

THEATRICAL ROMANTIC DESCRIPTION

Here is a transcription of David Kibbe's book I've taken from Aly Art's video here:

I'm going to read you the full description of the Theatrical Romantic Body Type by Kibbe from the book Metamorphosis....

Note: The following information should be taken as a broad outline of what makes a Theatrical Romantic. It is the overall combination of extreme yin with a slight yang undercurrent that creates this image identity category....

It is a delicately radiant physicality that is combined with the powerfully magnetic essence. Height: normally moderate to petite, usually 5'5" and under. Body type: soft and voluptuous, although trim and smallish as opposed to wide and "bulky." Hourglass figure-- curvy bustline and hips with a waspish waist. Soft or fleshy arms and legs. Bone structure: small and delicate. Slightly sharp edges: shoulders, jawline, cheekbones, or nose. Small hands and feet (in proportion to height.) Facial bones are small, delicate, and slightly sharp. Facial features: soft and lush. Large, luminous eyes-- sometimes slightly upturned, sometimes slightly "bedroom." Full, luscious lips; soft cheeks. Hair: soft and luxurious to the touch, maybe very silky and wispy or thick and wavy, curly. Coloring: any coloring is possible-- warm or cool, high contrast or blended-- but a Theatrical Romantic usually is quite vivid with a delicate complexion that is luminous or translucent. If overweight, the figure will remain hourglass with a defined waist. Upper arms, thighs, and face will become quite fleshy. Theatrical Romantic will normally not be extremely tall; have large, wide bones; have large hands and feet; have extremely prominent facial bones or features; have a "boyishly" straight figure devoid of a defined waist.

What's interesting about Gillian is that she is one of the rarer Theatrical Romantics-- one without a huge bust (which is one of the too oft used hallmarks of both Romantic Types.) Again, further proof that the whole must be taken into account instead of just a glance and a guess.

Other Theatrical Romantic women include: Ann Margret, Heidi Lamar, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jane Seymor, Jean Harlowe, Mila Kunis, Morgan Fairchild, Salma Hayek, Selena Gomez, and Vivian Leigh.

COMPARING THEATRICAL ROMANTICS TO OTHER TYPES

I'm going to be heavily quoting Aly Art throughout, as it will save me a lot of time and mental energy.

Dramatics

Theatrical Romantics are the second softest of all the types, with yang "drama" of their frame only differentiating it slightly from pure Romantics.

Dramatics, however, are the most yang of all the types-- "more elongated, more angular, more square and more sharp" in each angle of their silhouette.

Soft Dramatics have the sharper, elongated bones of the Dramatics-- again, making TRs appear shorter in their height and limbs-- but with layer of soft flesh overlaying their silhouette. While "fleshier" than Dramatics, they will still "appear heavier, bigger, or more pronounced."

(Left Photo: TR Gillian Anderson, left; D Cate Blanchett, right.

Right Photo: SD Christian Bale, left; TR Gillian Anderson, right.)

Naturals

Flamboyant Naturals and Theatrical Romantics are very, very different. "Flamboyant Naturals look taller because of their longer vertical line, and they consist of blunt edges-- more squarish shoulders, more squarish figure. Even when they have a waist (sometimes)... you perceive them as straight, not... as curvy women. When you look at Theatrical Romantics, you perceive them as curvy women" (even if their actual measurement ratios happen to be less curvaceous than a fellow FN.) "Theatrical Romantics look shorter...."

"Soft Naturals are slightly wider in bones-- in their face, in their body, in their ribcage sometimes, in their hip area sometimes. They look a bit stronger and a bit taller; and with this blunt bone structure they have a softness on top. Theatrical Romantics have thin bones and are shorter; but on top of that, they have lush roundness."

(Left Photo: FN Amy Adams, left; TR Gillian Anderson, right.

Right Photo: SN Helen Mirren, left; TR Gillian Anderson, right.)

Classics

Soft Classics share softness in common with Theatrical Romantics; but Soft Classic looks much more moderate.... Doesn't look as short or petite" (even if the Theatrical Romantic isn't a petite 5'2".) "They have something in common; still Soft Classic doesn't look as lush, and also looks... more proportionate, more symmetrical in general."

Dramatic Classic are more angular. They look taller; they look more moderate in size; they can be slightly more squarish and slightly broad; they might have slight musculature. And Theatrical Romantics do not: they're much softer; they're small looking; they're not angular; they have more delicate bones, thinner bones; and they're not as symmetrical. And sometimes outfits that look amazing on Dramatic Classics look pretty severe and "dry" (opposite of "lush") on Theatrical Romantics.

(TR Gillian Anderson, left; SC Helen Mirren, right.)

Gamines

"Flamboyant Gamines can look slightly elongated in their smallish frame: they are not tall, they are not big looking, they are pretty small looking. Sometimes they can be slightly broadly angular; sometimes they can have some muscles. Can be slightly squarish in the shoulders-- they can be slightly squarish in general." In comparison to Theatrical Romantics, they can appear more "electric, tomboyish." (Two classic examples are FG Penelope Cruz and TR Salma Hayek.) "Flamboyant Gamines' arms can be more elongated; their legs can be a bit more elongated They can look more straightish in figure. And Theatrical Romantics look pretty delicate-- they have shortish hands, shortish legs, shortish arms."

Soft Gamines and Theatrical Romantics are often confused because SGs are "small and also can have sharp bones, and figure, and soft flesh, and roundness. But again: Soft Gamines are slightly more angular than Theatrical Romantics. They are more "playful" looking because of the angularity in their chin, in their shoulders; and Theatrical Romantics are not angular to the same degree. Soft Gamines also skew more "girlish" than full-figured "woman" in comparison to TRs-- "but not always!"

(Top Photo: TR Gillian Anderson, left; FG Jimmy Kimmel, right.

Bottom Photo: TR Gillian Anderson, left; SG Reese Witherspoon, right.)

Romantics

Romantics are the softest of all the types, lacking the extra sharpness or "drama" of the Theatrical Romantics. "Normally, their shoulders are rounder. Also, Romantics have slightly wider bones-- also petite, also short like Theatrical Romantics.... Theatrical Romantics have slightly thinner bones; and Romantics, wider bones."

LINES, SILHOUETTES, AND OTHER FASHION DETAILS

But how do we dress the illustrious Gillian Anderson?

Again, I quote Aly Art quoting David Kibbe:

Shapes should be rounded, intricate, and ornate with slight sharpness at the edge. You might not look as good in geometrics; in chunky or bulky shapes; in sharp, severe shapes.

Line and silhouette: silhouettes should be hourglass, emphasizing the curves and showcasing the waist. The waist should be sharply defined, and the shoulders should be crisp. Tapering at the wrists, hemline, and knee areas. Lines should be soft, draped, flowing, clingy, ornate, and intricate. You might not look as good in all-severe silhouettes; in all oversized or unconstructed silhouettes; in all straight lines; in all sharp lines; in all wide or horizontal lines; in all long vertical lines that hide the waist.

Detail: details should be intricate, ornate, delicate, and quite lavish.... excess detail trim is important to help frame and focus the face. Bows, soft ruffles, and sparkly applique are excellent. Necklines should be soft and draped or sheered and gathered. Shoulder tucks, gathers, and bouffant shapes are perfect. Sleeves should be tapered at the wrist. Delicate and ornate buttons and trim are advisable. Waistline should always be emphasized: gathers, sheering, and draping at the waist are necessary for softness and intricacy.

You might not look as good in plain or minimal detail; in sharp or severe detail; in extremely oversized, bulky detail; in symmetrical, subdued detail; in crisp, perky detail.

CONCLUSION

We now know the yin and yang of Gillian's bone structure, which will help teach us what silhouettes, lines, shoes, accessories, hairstyles, and even hair colors would suit her best.

But that's another post for another time.

Thanks for reading~

Enjoy!

Let’s talk about Cabin 10. The first thing we learn about them is that they don’t smell bad enough to attract monsters and they aren’t a threat in capture the flag because they’re just laying around braiding each other’s hair . . . Ok, BUT. Most half-bloods have adhd and most of Aphrodite’s children are a bunch of girls and Mitchell. So let’s look at these girls as a shack full of fem-presenting neurodivergents.

• whoever decorated all those pastel beds was probably spazzing out because all her new sisters bring her the connection she craves. Also she was hyperfixating on Barbie 12 Dancing Princesses—that bedroom was the dream.

• Patrick’s mortal dad is so proud of him. SO proud that his son has so much emotional courage.

• Ella has a deep empathy for animals who have been abandoned or forgotten. She hates to see a kitty get overlooked because she’s older or no one takes a pupper home because “pitbulls are mean.” She volunteers at a shelter every weekend and uses her powers to make potential families see what she sees. Also she has some special pink crocs just for cleaning out pens.

• Competitive sports are not their thing. Good for them for collectively not faking an interest and instead spending that time talking about stuff they like. No really, good for them for getting along with their teenage sisters.

• Chloë has ASD and her favorite color is pink. She goes hard. All the things are pink. You go, Chloë. She’s not snuggly like the other girls but literally gives the sweetest, most genuine all-in compliments.

• these girls cannot keep their hands still and need some damn hair to braid. What is dopamine if not having your hair touched or your arm rhythmically scratched by another girl?

• Marguerite loves ballet.

• group runs to starbies because caffeine helps most of them calm down.

• MASSAGE TRAIN!

• one of them watches Barbie Diamond Castle while questioning her sexuality. The girls and Mitchel support her with a cottagecore home reno.

• Victoria is very shy and is never seen without red white and royal blue a classic romance in her hand. Actually, fuck that. She’s super smart and reads a huge range of fiction. She’s also never worn pants. Fuck you, January, it’s not happening. The girl loves her pretty dresses.

• these are huge fangirls but feel a little left out of the Star Wars and marvel crowds. Lacy literally just wants to be left alone with her life-size Taylor Lautner cutout and team Jacob merch. She’s been given shit for her girly and lame interests her whole life.

• Her first week, Chloë is between Marguerite and Rose for massage train. She’s a little nervous about skin to skin but doesn’t want to stand out by saying anything. Her sisters get her feel and leap up and run to get their jade rollers to rub out the shoulder knots. There’s NO WAY their girl is gonna be left out or uncomfy.

• Drew fuckin loves Kibbe typing and is always getting her girls a new top that’s “so flamboyant gamine” and no one knows what she’s talking about.

• Mitchell sings Heart Full of Love in glorious falsetto every shower-hour and everyone is fucking nice about it.

• No one thinks Dove is smart because her dyscalculia is causing her to fail math, biology, and history (she put that the Peleponesion war took place in 3 🤷‍♀️.) BUT Dove loves to draw. For an artist she’s super extroverted and loves taking requests to bringing everyone’s OTPs to life.

• they don’t stink because they’re always gifting each other essential oil blends personalized to each sister’s Mitchell’s vibe.

• they’re universally bad drivers.

• Chloë is amazing with astrology. She’s dead on about sign compatibility because Chloë is a friggin Queen.

• CUDDLE PUDDLE. Proprioception really helps them finish tasks. So yeah, they snuggle while they finish their homework.

• Drew made Dove color coded friendship bracelets to help her remember her right from left. What a pal.

• Orlando is completely masc, was shocked when he wasn’t claimed by Ares or Hephaestus, and took awhile to adjust to the vibe. Turns out masculine beauty is still beautiful, and he has more love inside than anyone is ready for. You go, emotionally mature dudebro.

• Silena was looking at colleges to go into marriage and family counseling.

• Mitchel wants to be a trauma-informed tattoo artist and does beautiful floral work.

• Scarlet gets really attached and has no executive function when it comes to decluttering. Her bunk is covered in stuffed animals and at 15 she sleeps with every single one because she couldn’t bare to hurt their feelings

• dyslexic bitches enjoying red white and royal blue a classic romance audiobook all piled on one bed.

• dyslexic bitches can’t read a price tag.

• Tristan’s favorite song is Steal My Girl. He can’t stop and he won’t stop.

• Synesthete Tristan. He loves that happy teal sound of pop music. The pretty gentle yellow specific to the sound of Ella’s name. The way his crush’s smile smells like lilies.

• Rose has a thing for Y2K. You can pry her low rise jeans and PLL box set from her cold dead hands.

• a documentary about fast fashion made Valentina cry. Sometimes big social injustices make her feel really overwhelmed. They all get super into thrifting.

• Rose and Bella have matching stick’n’pokes of little hearts on their wrists.

• they fucking live for Peppa Pig. Just Rose and Bella. They’re bunk mates and someone had to buy them a headphone splitter because they have no self awareness when they’re jamming on their obsession and the others couldn’t take it anymore.

• That one time Drew made Juliette wear the Shoes of Shame. Juliette committed to a normcore makeover just to pull them off. She’s wearing those janky Reebok’s with knee high tube socks to this day.

• Piper gets mad one day and pulverizes the Golden Mango and serves it with vodka. They’re all in huge trouble. Impulse control is not her thing, man.

• Lacy is just the biggest fuckin vsco girl. Not ironic. Just Lacy. Leave her alone.

• pastel hydroflasks for everyone.

So you see these are not cool girls. They’re well… girly. No matter how much they are underestimated or how much shit they take from the rest of camp they just keep on liking what they like. Aphrodite energy is receptivity, willingness to trust, allowing things to delight you at the risk of looking silly. It’s putting on Clarisse’s armor and running into battle even when you know you’re not the strongest or the scariest. It’s shamelessly crushing on Jason who seems kinda bland to everyone else. It’s watching Ares cry and never looking away because you are so fucking strong. It’s seeing beauty in the beast even when no one else can. It’s believing in the beauty you can’t see. Even when you might get hurt. Whoever you are be it. Suck at sports. Hate fighting. Cry when something “shallow” moves you. Insist they remember Achilles for more than his crimes in grief and anger. Tear up and show it when bae leaves for work. Fucking like Nicolas Sparks. Worship your awkward girlfriend. Squee when your lame song comes on. Buy the I ❤️ Mr. Darcy shirt. You are great. Your passion, tenderness, and idealism are truly badass.

What do you think the brothers are like as kibbies? Lucifer and Diavolo would probably be dramatic Simeon Asmodeus and Thirteen would be gamines. What about Ciaran?

You really threw me for a loop with this question, anon!

I had noooo idea what you were talking about lol! But a little search engine shenanigans reveals that you're talking about the Kibbe Body Types which I admit I have never heard of before.

Likely because I'm not exactly up on my body type theories? I dunno lol.

Anyway, according to that article I found, it's really geared toward the body types of women and the gamines apparently have to be shorter than 5'5" to qualify? Buuuut if we don't take that into consideration, since technically there are no canon heights for the characters, I think you're right that Lucifer is dramatic, but I think Diavolo is soft dramatic. He's more rounded than Lucifer is due to the muscles lol. I would call Asmo a flamboyant gamine (again not counting the height thing) while Simeon could be soft gamine. I kinda think Thirteen could be theatrical romantic, too.

Uh, as for the rest of the bros, I'd say Mammon is probably a flamboyant natural and I kinda think Levi is, too. Satan seems like a dramatic classic. Belphie's a soft natural and Beel is a soft dramatic like Diavolo.

That's just based on that article I linked, though. And please note that I have very little knowledge of this stuff at all. Just what I would categorize them as based on what I'm looking at there.

As for Ciaran, they're a whole 5'4" which is short for someone amab. I think you could give him a soft gamine, but I kinda imagine him as being more romantic. Very curvy and kind of an hourglass figure. When they dress femme, they definitely look more like that, I think.

Anyway, I hope that kinda answered the question! I'm sorry I don't know a whole lot about this particular topic lol.

#body types in general just kinda make me go ???#like I dunno it's a body it's shaped how it's shaped lol #obey me #misc mc ciaran #anon asks #misc answers

what do you think is madison beer's kibbe id?

I think she's a Flamboyant Gamine. She's 5'6, has a wider lower body in comparison to her torso, she does not have extreme Yang (not D,DC,FN etc) and she's not extreme Yin either (R, TR, SG), she does not register as an SN because her body is very sharp? (her arms, collarbones etc)

I think she's FG and I think she has Romantic, Dramatic & Gamine essence

Red Velvet Kibbe Typing!

Irene

kibbe type: theatrical romantic

essence: classic-ingenue

notes: Irene looks the best when embracing her soft, romantic qualities, while taking into account the pared-back/moderation of classic essence.

~~~

Seulgi

kibbe type: flamboyant gamine

essence: gamine-dramatic

notes: a sign that seulgi is a FG is that no matter her weight, her torso shape is the same (gaining weight on the bottom half is a sign of yang-types)

~~~

Wendy

kibbe type: theatrical romantic

essence: romantic

notes: red velvet's early style is more gamine/natural recs, but over the years wendy seems to be dressed in more TR-friendly clothing. more than Irene, she looks the best when she's wearing lavish, slightly extravagant outfits that accentuate her romantic qualities.

~~~

Joy

kibbe type: flamboyant natural

essence: romantic-ingenue

notes: Joy is an interesting case because her essence is pretty at-odds with the common conceptions of the 'fierce, earthy FN'. she suits long, interrupted clothing with heavier details, that also has a youthful, girlish aura to it. the top row-right outfit and the bottom row-second outfit do this very well.

~~~

Yeri

kibbe type: soft natural

essence: gamine-natural-ingenue

notes: yeri's essence was hard to determine because she pulls off a lot of different styles so well! her best outfits are relaxed and not tight/overly 'cramped' to her body.

On this dressing for your body and essence journey, winter has been my first full season of experimenting, learning, lightbulb moments, Weebey gifs, answers that lead to more questions, spectacular failures (let us not speak of that Banana Republic haul), and gathering as much visual data to note the common threads and ultimately get me closer to trusting my instincts.

Huge shout-out to @mythirdhouselife who has been a joy to bounce ideas off of, cackle with, exchange objective looks at what works and what doesn’t, shake heads at the swagless in the chaotic forums, make pop culture and straight up cultural analysis breakthroughs with, and most importantly helped keep things FUN. I feel sorry for people embarking on this journey without a friend who loves a deep dive as much as you do while always keeping in check the insidious perspectives of what others think you’re “supposed” to do based on any given arbitrary patriarchal norm.

Starting with Kibbe gave me a crucial understanding of my body’s lines and a firm starting point. Kitchener helped me really look at faces and see essences that may not have been reflected on the body. McJimsey was the smug Oprah gif that basically said I told your monkey ass from the beginning this is how to look at it. Or as Rob puts it, men need to stay out of women’s business. Anyhoo, my lines and essence blends are Natural, Ethereal, and Gamine (FG if you’re nasty). Gamine is the structural foundation of my look - I can’t go all the way Natural or I look like Mayor Lightfoot (I SAID we don’t talk about that Banana Republic haul). I can’t go all the way Ethereal or I actually lose the glow it gives me. So while I think of my blends as telling an overall dreamy narrative evocative of birds, butterflies, sunrise, sunset, oceans, and treasure…the Gamine provides the juxtaposition that keeps things uniquely ME, the color-blocking that keeps things from getting too nebulous and watercolor-y, and the straightness and tapered-ness to keep me from getting lost in billowing fabrics and maintain my playfully blunt sharpness.

Here is a DEEP AF DIVE on some style lessons l learned about myself this winter along with looks that show my best style foundations and elements.

Excuse The Purge happening in the background. This is one of my favorite looks and the Flamboyant Gamine JUMPED out here with the help of my red-loving Aries Rising. Juxtaposition (box tucked slightly relaxed striped top and form-fitting straight skirt with a subtle pattern). Red tights sandwiched between the line break of the skirt and patterned red boots. The Natural peeked in via the jewelry and a boatneck on the top, emphasizing the sloped broadness of my shoulders in a flattering way.

This was me playing around with blazers before Rob helped me realize my yang (angles vs curves) is more blunt than sharp. Blazers are sharp af. This helped me understand why I’ve always intuitively felt lackluster about them. The blazer in this pic is about 7-8 years and 2 sizes ago. But even though I was a functionally busted can of biscuits in this due to not being able to close it, I really liked how this looked. I had 3 other even older blazers that I only used for job interviews in navy, black, and charcoal. In my style experiments, they never curled all the way over the way this one did for me. I think it’s because this look put a lighter blazer over a darker top and the others were the opposite. I can’t have anything too dark for a denser outer layer because that’s too heavy for my Ethereal essence. Ethereal essence wants light and airy (kinda like busted cans of biscuits). Relatedly, I recently tried a red plaid blazer - it hit on all FG checkpoints (sharp yang, bold color, geometric print), so I was confused about why it wasn’t working. That’s when I realized a foundational blends principle for me: I can’t do the FG small/geometric/Yang patterns. My Natural essence takes over when it comes to print and pattern mixing. This is why you’ve got to keep an open mind to your BLENDS and not be a Kibbe Kunt (the kultish followers who say you can only be one category and that’s it). Back to this look - we’ve got a more Natural color palette here but with FG color-blocking emphasized by a sunshine yellow. More FG with the combat boots - and as an aside, adding combat and Oxford style boots to my wardrobe for the first time ever has been one of my best moves ever. They really added a ‘PERIODT’ to my looks this winter. I should have done a regular tuck instead of box tuck here because there’s not enough juxtaposition between the shirt and pants to make it work (both slim fit).

Sweaters have been an emotional rollercoaster; no Vivian. I figured out that the higher the percentage of natural fibers (cotton, wool) in a sweater, the higher the chance of it looking like a shapeless blob on me. I took a chance on ordering this color-blocked (FG again says “Hello!”) near-cropped sweater from Target, praying it wouldn’t be too bulky. Paired with color-blocked slim-straight jeans (Gamine juxtaposition jazz hands), and my beloved combat boots? Loved how this look turned out. I also noted the Natural color palette - who knew playing with neutrals could be so fun? Not me, not me. Check my ‘January in Color’ post for some iridescent Ethereal entering the chat via the jewelry for this outfit.

This look was a sleeper hit that had me shook because I was just throwing stuff on to see how they fit. I’m always reluctant to wear these pants even though they’re SO comfortable and the fabric is such nice quality because I’m afraid they look too big on me. But when I pair it with a slim top, this is where my Natural essence glows. Natural palette, wax (“ethnic”) print, pants relaxed at the waist. But my Gamine’s shiny suit is always dancing in the videos which you can see from the tapered bottom of the pants, the straightness of the pattern on the pants, and the juxtaposition of a slim-fit top. I’ve been trying to find more pants like these to no avail so far. Jade, lemme hold some more pants Fam.

Whew, this?? One of my favorite looks. I like to think of this look as me letting my Mars-ruled red and black flag fly (I have significant placements in both Aries and Scorpio). Alternatively, I’m dressed as my visual interpretation of ‘All Up In Your Mind’, which I was obsessed with at that time. I’ll note that as an Autumn in coloring, I really haven’t worn black at ALL in many years. I actively avoided it from clothes to shoes to accessories. Incorporating it into my looks this winter has been surprisingly pleasing, balanced with a warmer or bolder color here, or a regal gold flash there. We’ve got an FG base with the red skirt from Pic #1 rolled up for some miniskirt energy. Ethereal as above, so below with a sheer black top (the sheerness removing the heaviness from the black) and celestial patterned tights. By the way, patterned tights are right behind combat boots as Most Valuable Purchases by me this winter - a quick scroll through my Tumblr will net you some fantastic patterned tights eye candy. Finally, the combat boots gave the look a firm FG anchor.

My winter style takeaways: Out with the bulky sweaters and flimsy tees. Out with button-downs unless they’re ethereal utility or chambray/denim. Out with sharper yang like dark blazers and small geometric prints. In with broader tartans and larger abstract patterns. In with slim, straight, and slightly relaxed structure. In with the solids - reds, blacks, yellows, golds. In with mixed prints and color-blocking neutrals. In with a box tucked relaxed top and slim bottom or a slim top with relaxed but structured bottom. In with ethereal draping of maxi skirts and headwraps that draw your eyes up and then back down. In with what has become a signature look of patterned tights with combat or oxford-style boots.

Thank you, Winter, for allowing me to clear out what was dead, stale, stagnant to make room for what is colorful, fresh, and intuitive. For what is me.
