And the Kibbe system believes that anyone can wear any style, as long as you know how to tweak it to favor your body type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spend a little time thinking back through your life to remember which music, movies, celebrities, friends and family caught you attention for the fashions they wore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are memories of style images that you always wanted to emulate when you were a child or adolescent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And remembering them will form a part of the personal style identity that you create after you\u2019ve done the Kibbe Body Type Test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Kibbe Body Type System in Fashion Styling?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kibbe body type system is an \u2018image identifying method\u2019 which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.herstylecode.com\/fashion\/kibbe-body-types-introduction\/\">David Kibbe<\/a> set out in his 1980\u2019s text-book, <em>Metamorphis<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"704\" height=\"876\" src=\"https:\/\/www.herstylecode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/David-Kibbe.jpg\" alt=\"David Kibbe\" class=\"wp-image-97364\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> David Kibbe<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>It started from the idea that there are three main aspects that give each person an individual and different appearance. And these are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Your bone structure \u2013 face and body<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Your flesh distribution over the bones<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Your facial features<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Kibbe looked at the balance of two contrasting features which he called <em>Yin<\/em> and <em>Yang<\/em>, from the Chinese system of explaining two contrasting and complementary aspects of one particular thing \u2013 like <em>two<\/em> different sides of <em>one<\/em> coin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It used to be said that <em>Yin<\/em> is female and Yang is <em>male<\/em>, but these days we know that is not an accurate way to understand the symbols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Yin<\/em> and <em>Yang <\/em>should not be thought of as male\/female characteristics. This is incorrect and misleading in identifying your Personal Style Image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will help you more if you think of <em>Yin<\/em> and <em>Yang<\/em> as the contrast between softness, rounded shapes or delicate bone structure and Yang as sharp, angular and long lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, \u2018flesh\u2019 is a neutral term when used in the Kibbe system and has nothing whatsoever to do with a person\u2019s weight or body mass index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead it refers to the type of flesh on your body, for example, are you lean and well-muscled or do you have soft flesh and so forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kibbe Body Types Introduction &#8211; The five main Kibbe body types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So Kibbe examined body types and came up with five, general, <em>style image<\/em> categories called:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul

triangle, the rectangular and the hourglass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you\u2019ll find the updated Kibbe Image Identity System far more nuanced, so it&#8217;s easier to find your <em>exact <\/em>Style Image

you to embrace your natural body shape and know how to look your best for all occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does Kibbe Body Type system work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It does this by considering everything from your facial features, your overall bone structure and how your flesh is \u2018spread\u2019 over it &#8211; to your personality and your individual style preferences!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the Kibbe Body Type System looks at the differences between soft and curvy body shapes and more angular and lean body types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of the<em> thirteen<\/em> Kibbe Image Identity Types or Style Images includes your preferred styles of clothing, make-up, hairstyle, face shape and everything that goes together to make you a unique individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Origin of the Kibbe Body Type system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The foundation for the updated Kibbe Body Type system was David Kibbe\u2019s book, <em>Metamorphosis: Discover Your Image Identity &amp; Dazzle as Only You Can!<\/em> published in 1987.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a little outdated for current times and isn\u2019t available to buy any more, but it formed the foundation for an immensely useful, <em>modernized<\/em> system of identifying body types, which is studied by the majority of today\u2019s professional \u2018fashion stylists\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic idea of Kibbe was that anyone can wear any style or accessory, regardless of their body type \u2013 as long as it fits with the individual\u2019s unique, personal style identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the practical benefits the Kibbe Body Type System?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are lots of solid advantages to be gained from understanding the Kibbe system, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Allowing you to accurately identify your own personal shape and to wear flattering clothes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To understand why you tend to choose particular styles and whether that could be improved<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discover why some styles <em>never<\/em> give you a good fit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn to love your unique body and how to present yourself with style and <em>confidence<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be able to wear most fashion trends by knowing how to tweak your outfits to your look<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How did David Kibbe view the traditional body type system?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kibbe knew that the established body shape ID method was not fit for use, because it was over-simplified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And he saw that his had led to manufacturers offering styles and fashions which only really suited a narrow band of women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So he aimed to reduce women being overly-focused on copying one major fashion style, which was like a uniform that only suited a fraction of the women who wore it at any one time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And instead, he helped women focus on their <em>own <\/em>personal style and body shape in a highly positive way, so they could create flattering outfits that better suited their shape, size and personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He could see that forcing the range of different shaped women to try and copy a narrow range of \u2018celebrity fashion clothing\u2019 was causing a lot of anxiety amongst the majority who <em>didn\u2019t<\/em> have a \u2018model\u2019 figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this was probably the first system to encourage women to love their body and focus on flattering clothes for their individual shape and personality \u2013 rather than trying to force all women into an unattainable \u2018ideal\u2019 shape and style!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Natural bodies are best<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This view doesn\u2019t approve of artificially changing your face or natural body shape with surgery or obsessive gym exercises to create a distorted body shape. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, this practice is now being virtually forced upon us by almost daily pictures of Kim Kardashian, Katy Price and other infamous celebrities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So following the Kibbe Style Identity system means realizing that you<em> are<\/em> the, \u2018full package\u2019 just as you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you just need to learn who you are and then discover what styles and shapes bring out your best look every day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So stick with this Kibbe body types introduction and you could change your life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Kibbe style ID\u2019s change with time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kibbe believes that your body type\/style image ID can\u2019t change and to get the best evaluation, you should do the test after the age of 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it won\u2019t suddenly change if you have children or experience a rapid weight gain or loss and as you age, your understanding of what clothing gives you the best silhouette will increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when you\u2019ve done the Kibbe Body Type test here, and know your ID, you can refer to the various Style Guides that show you exactly which trends and shapes are best for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So why not take the time to find your individual body type here and be your best-dressed self every day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting started with the Kibbe Body Type System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"684\"

\u2018male\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This misunderstanding could lead you to unconscious bias where you tend toward choosing Yin characteristics solely because you are female and want to emphasize

This facial appearance is typical of the exaggerated look of Manga comic characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this means that there\u2019s plenty of contrast between Yin and Yang in the skeleton type, flesh distribution and face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples include:<\/strong> Heather Locklear Mia Farrow, Edith Piaf, Jean Seberg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Gamine Body Type Features:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This body type is usually under the height of 5\u2019 5\u201d and often includes petite women.

They also have dainty facial features, sometimes looking broad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soft Gamines often have full cheeks, medium to full lips and large eyes, but not always. And they may well have fleshy curves and full bust and hip shaping, with a moderate waistline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples include:<\/strong> Halle Berry, Reese Witherspoon, Winona Ryder, the Olsen Twins, Judy Garland and Bette Davis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

And their facial features have Yin, large eyes, with Yang, well-defined jawlines and noses and medium-full lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples include:<\/strong> Liza Minelli, Penelope Cruz, Audrey Hepburn and Jennifer Love Hewitt<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.

This creates a noticeable horizontal line to the body shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soft Naturals can be medium to tall in height, but they don\u2019t have a long vertical line because their width balances out their height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often compared with Romantics, the Soft Natural body shape differs because of its wider bone structure. This can make the Soft Natural appear curvier than the Romantic body type, owing to blunt lines softened by flesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples include:<\/strong> Chloe Sevigny, Jennifer Lopez, Kat Dennings and Betty Grable&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.

FB\u2019s are \u2018frame dominant\u2019, as opposed to SD\u2019s who are, \u2018curve dominant\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FN\u2019s have a wider rib cage and don\u2019t need to always wear waist-emphasizing clothes, like the SD type. Moreover, they have broader, blunt but not angled, facial features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples include:<\/strong>&nbsp; Eva Mendes, Emma Stone, Cameron Diaz, Cindy Crawford and Gigi Hadid<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.

They have soft flesh and curves with soft arms, legs and shoulder structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The faces of a typical TR have dainty, Yin features, but may also have a few sharper edges in their cheekbones, nose shape and jaw, which is Yang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples include:<\/strong> Jada Pinkett-Smith, Vivien Leigh, Selena Gomez, Selma Hayak and Mila Kunis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much has the Kibbe Body Type system been updated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>David Kibbe\u2019s Book, <em>Metamorphosis<\/em>, was published in 1987, so it makes sense that the system itself has evolved since then. Here are some things to keep in mind:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. The Kibbe system is not an all-encompassing method that works for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the 1980\u2019s, fashion styles have evolved tremendously and while some people will find the system extremely beneficial, it is true that others may not see their body type clearly represented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Your Image Identity can only be arrived at by looking honestly at your entire body without bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Non-binary people are included and respected in the updated Kibbe system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Height is a strong factor in categorizing your type, for example, there are <em>no<\/em> tall Gamines and to fit this group you must be 5\u2019 5\u201d or less in height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Anyone over 5\u2019 7\u201d is automatically Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, or Flamboyant Natural, because height automatically makes your type have Yang characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, if you are someone who identifies as a woman, as a cross-dresser or Trans, remember to choose from those 3 options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Your overall bone structure and how\/where your flesh lies on it is far more significant than your bust, waist and hip measurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. Kibbe now feels that your body is more important than your facial features when choosing your correct category from the 13 choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. Kibbe removed the Pure Natural, Pure Classic and Pure Gamine style identities &#8211; as the majority of individuals don\u2019t exhibit this perfect state between Yin and Yang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9. The modernized system has fewer sub-groups for the Dramatic, Classic, Natural, Gamine and Romantic as Kibbe believes they are more extreme and possibly need to be assessed by himself, as the original founder of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready to take the Kibbe Body Type Quiz?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, this system can be a <em>great <\/em>way to improve your style image, help you dress better and stop wasting money on clothes that don\u2019t flatter your shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, it isn\u2019t a scientific certainty and you should only treat it as a style \u2018aid\u2019. Please don\u2019t feel anxious if you find it difficult to work out exactly what type you are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It does take time to identify your true body shape in the Kibbe system, so be kind and patient with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that a <em>trusted<\/em> friend or family member can be a great help in deciding between two characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the end of this Kibbe Body Types introduction, so your next step is to take the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Kibbe Body Types Test!<\/span> Have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the Kibbe Body Types System &amp; Upgrade Your Style Identity This article is all about using the Kibbe Body Type System to find your own Style Image through an assessment of your individual shape and your personality type.
