are elegant clothes right for you? | CLASSIC ESSENCE

You look classic when it comes to body and face. Just keep up your good work.

Very nice

Lovely 😍

I struggle so much with the shoe/bag/belt thing. Like, once I discovered how great it looked for all of them to match I realized I was going to have to find a bag in all the colors I have shoes in.... That's a tall ask but it makes such a difference.

I feel so seen right now 😄 Your descriptions about "not too little, not too much, not too angled, not too long" all resonate for me. The moment you said that certain exaggerated styles will wear me, not me wearing them, completely cinched the deal. I now KNOW that I'm a classic through and through.

You explained it so well and gave great examples! I'm a classic or soft classic too and I often struggle to get my outfit juuuust right. I can't pull out randomly pieces from my closet and simply look cool and effortless. Everything has to be pre planned. The details, like fabric quality are so important. The fabric should never show noticeable signs of wear or look cheap. The look has to be harmonious from top to bottom, including the accessories. Personal color palette is very important too. It's hard to get it right, but on the days I do, I immediately notice that people notice (in a good way).

I am apparently a soft classic. But for a lot of the points it felt like a 50/50 question so it could be that I also have theatrical romantic.

And it actually makes sense.



But my nose is a bit bigger than everything else... so idk

Literally have had several people tell me I remind them of Kate Middleton. So now I have to shop in the granny stores.

So true. She looks very cute and small first..

I’m a classic and I’m always Fixing anything that’s out of place. one fray hair it’s gotta go back in one loose thread it’s got to come off. I look frumpy so easy. Can’t do smoky eyes I look crazy

I am pretty sure I am a theatrical romantic with dark autumn colouring but I can’t figure out my essence. I am drawn to classic styles because I like the aesthetic behind it, but I think I could suit other essences too. I think I might have ingenue essence but I wanna look „grown up“. Help haha

This stuff is so fun! I am a dramatic light spring and I think I have the exact same essences as you! I've always hated bold patterns and colors and felt that simple classic pieces fit my face and body better

I believe I have classic essence. In art class in high school, no one could draw my face. My features are so smooth and blended that nothing stands out, but my best feature to play up if I choose to is by far my eyes. However, classic jewelry and hair look boring on me. I find TR hair, jewelry and fabrics compliment my overall soft, delicate vibe. I am way too tiny and delicate to have a classic or SC body, but I am sure my essence is mostly classic. It does not make much sense to me. Still trying to piece it all together, but this video helps ❤️

Can you be a flamboyant gamine and have a classic essence? I know that geo patterns are recommended for me but when I wear them I feel ridiculous I look great in collars, structured pieces blazers and solids

Okay, okay, okay…I’ve been mulling over body types, essences, and stylings for years now, and kept trying to put myself in either theatrical romantic, or soft gimine, but just never felt like either of those fit. I avoided looking at classic, idk, I guess I felt like it would be boring to be a classic body type, but I think I finally realize that I’m definitely a classic, and I think I’m specifically a soft classic. I may have a little bit of gimine essence, and I know I have some ingénue essence because I’ve always been mistaken for being much younger than I am, and that I have a very “sweet” look about me. What finally tipped it over the edge for me is looking back at an old picture of myself as a brides maid, and everything about the dress I wore was very much classic lines, and styling. I feel like that was one time I really looked my best, and I know it’s because I was in my right lines, and I wasn’t fighting them so hard like I normally do. Thank you for your videos, and helping me to realize that just because I might be a classic, it doesn’t mean I have to look boring, I can find new ways to step up my wardrobe, AND not fight my body’s classic lines❤️

After this video I think I might be a classic. I look easily undone, overdone, dressed up for carnival etc. Simple, beautiful, natural and good quality textures suit me the best. Though suits make me look too stiff and as I would play dress up for an insurance company. Oversized coats look like a bath robe on me and too tight looks completely out of place…maybe I’m a mixture of classic and something else? My eyes are my biggest feature and my hips, so maybe a romantic influence. Otherwise quite symmetrical. Or can I be just one type? Ah maybe soft classic… that’s a thing no?

honestly was a little skeptical of the kibble body types, but after listening to you tell me about my own style for 10 minutes…i think i’m convinced lol. crazy how much of this i do instinctively as a classic!

Ugh I think I might have classic essence but in my personal style I have always gravitated toward gamine and natural styles…I do sometimes feel like the clothes stand out more than me and that I look sloppy in casual clothes. But I can’t afford all new clothes 😭

Any tips for classic essence + romantic body type?

Ok, I'm definitely not a classic 😆 thank you for the video

this is the opposite of what i am. 😅😅
imagine, i put on a white blouse and look horrendous, but when i put on a giant raspberry-colored sweater or an acid-green cropped shirt, i look great. idk why that happens, i just look utterly ridiculous in classic and elegant clothing :/ and it's so strange to me, like is it really that hard to pull off a classic white blouse??? apparently, it is 🧐🧐🧐
i was classified as a flamboyant natural or soft dramatic, probably has something to do with that 🤔

Omg 😳 the frayed test is trueeee

okay well i now know i have a natural face thanks to the third woman with high cheekbones looking EXACTLY like me ??? that was a jump scare 😅
that’s three other people i’ve noticed who look like me 🥹

Thank you so much for your content. I'm finally starting to learn why I look ridiculous in certain styles. I'm pretty sure I'm a soft dramatic with classic/romantic essence. It always annoyed me that I could never pull off the same whimsical looks as my sister, but now I get it. I always feel the most confident in structured and plain fabrics.

my biggest issue with being classic is that every outfit that matches my essence just makes me look 20 years older ☹️

It explains so much! As a classic essence, I find that vintage classic items look good on me.

Do you have link to that white button down?

I have to agree with some of the other comments regarding your essence. I see your body type as a soft classic. But your essence is more ingenue than classic. I would definitely say ingenue is your primary essence.

I have watched so many videos trying to analyze my body type. I would have said classic, though my height throws me off. I'm 5'1". Maybe soft gamine? I have never felt good in bold prints or loud colors. I like a natural makeup look on myself. Too much and I will notice it. I like my jewelry to be dainty and feminine. I love to look feminine even when I wear jeans. I do not mind a little fraying at the bottom, but no rips. I have to feel that my hair is in place otherwise I feel something is off. Never knowing why I have been this way even in my younger years, it no doubt has to have something with my body type, which I have not figured it quite out as of yet.

Thank you for the video. I love your white shirt you are wearing. Where one would be able to purchase it? Thanks.

I’m definitely classic essence too. That’s when I look best.
But I dress very much like I don’t care 🤣🤣🤣🤣

With classic essence it’s often mentioned that symmetry is important but I feel like my face isn’t perfectly symmetrical (uneven brows, cheek bones…) but I feel like besides that I fall into the classic essence quite a bit.

I think I have a mixture of classic, romantic, and ingenue (everyone is always shocked when I tell them how old I am hahah)

I look horrid in pattern. It's like I am lost. If I just put red lipstick and sunscreen I look like I have dressed for a wedding or a fashion show. If I don't put anything I look normal mostly but dead at times when tired. 😂😂😂 So nude lipstick or red lipstick and sunscreen it is 😂

I may have some classic essence with primary romantic essence. I am Kibbe R but have mixed yin/yang features in my face I think. It’s not pixie like enough to be quite Gamine either. It’s certainly not symmetrical but R+C clothes somehow don’t repel me and I feel at home considering that archetype. Just… a bit more R than a lot of pics might portray it to be but with a yang influence. Might have gamine and ingenue as a tertiary essence as some people are often surprised at my age and I also gravitate to them in style and I don’t think it looks off.

I am a classic and this video was very helpful

Off the subject, but I really like your eye makeup! Next time I’ll be doing professional makeup I should go for this look…

I would love it if you could do a video working with essences that seem at odds with the body type. I think gamine is one of my essesces but I'm a soft natural with definite Kibbe width, and the pixie cut many have suggested just left me looking like a pinhead

I really can't wear anything with huge bold pattens, quirky slogans (urgh), or otherwise quirky, "fun" clothes, either ;) Plus anything asymmetrical, frayed and undone does look really sloppy on me, as do all Natural clothes (all the oh-so-trendy athleisure - just no!). I believe I do have some Classic, though not as my dominant essence.

But you said your best dress is off the shoulder?

I wonder why some women are considered as looking both sexy and sweet and innocent.

In one of your videos your background had a bunch of white roses in a vase... In the video it looked like you had roses in your hair. And boy oh boy it looked so good! It looked loooovely on you! So instead of bold patterns on clothes, you could try some delicate floral hair accessories and you will look lovely. I think it is because of your etherial essence which the roses were honouring that made you look the loveliest of all your looks! You look lovely in your videos but in that video you did look other worldly beautiful ❤️❤️

✨❤️Yup…me too‼️ all my life I’ve tried patterns over and over…and toss them every time‼️

How does this work if you have a dramatic and classic essences?? 🙈 They seeen at odds with each other

Exactly. Before I knew I was soft classic. I had the urge to out extra effort into my look. Brush my hear once more, correct the collar or not wearing clothes which look like.. washed out.
I have soft face features, but not too cute, I have a soft gaze but I am tall and slender. Messy looks overpower me. I feel like people with sharp features can wear it much better.

My mom was more yang, and she looked amazing in clothes. I'm more yin, and look terrible unless I'm wearing more structured, sleek styles. I can't wear rouching or patterns, especially small florals.

No you're more ingenue than ethereal. You don't behave or talk like an ethereal. People with dominant ethereal essences behave like high-end models or have reserved energy. Which you don't have. You're mainly classic and ingenue. People tend to confuse ethereal essence with classic essence.

being a classic types sounds difficult lol

My friends know me for looking great on outdated stuff, and my mom once said (when discussing about clothing I liked. Of course, they were soft classic coded) that it was pretty much my style. She's also called me 80s actor, haha. Definitely a soft classic.

Soft Dramatic True Winter with strong classic essence. How to combine those three?

Am also classic with sprinkles of ethereal
