DISCOVER YOUR KIBBE BODY TYPE

The Kibbe body type system is a style approach by David Kibbe that classifies 13 types based on both physical traits and “vibe.” It helps people find clothing that harmonizes with their natural lines, making it easier to dress in styles that feel just right.

Finding your Kibbe type involves analyzing your bone structure, body shape, and essence, focusing on your yin (soft/rounded) and yang (sharp/angular) traits. You can find your Kibbe body type by using our Kibbe Body app, which leverages AI to analyze your unique Kibbe type, and gives you accurate insights and guidance. Additionally, there are Reddit groups like r/kibbe_typeme where you can post photos of yourself for feedback.

Many people find the Kibbe system helpful, as it offers tailored advice based on individual characteristics. However, like any system, it’s not one-size-fits-all, so use what works for you and leave the rest!

Kibbe’s five main categories are Dramatic, Natural, Classic, Gamine, and Romantic. Each of these has specific subtypes that add either more yin or yang, making up the full range of 13 types.

Kibbe includes 8 additional subtypes: Soft Dramatic, Flamboyant Natural, Soft Natural, Dramatic Classic, Soft Classic, Flamboyant Gamine, Soft Gamine, and Theatrical Romantic. Each subtype adds unique traits to its main family type, either leaning more toward yin or yang.

Yin and yang define the soft (yin) and sharp (yang) qualities in Kibbe types. Understanding where you fall on this spectrum helps you choose styles that complement your natural shape, creating harmony in your outfits.

Your Kibbe type is based on your bone structure and proportions, which don’t change over time. So, once you’ve found your type, it generally stays the same, even if your weight or style preferences fluctuate.

Yes! The Classic family in Kibbe body types is known for being balanced, which means it’s a blend of yin and yang traits, creating a more symmetrical and harmonious look.

Yes, height is a key factor in determining Kibbe types. For example, Dramatic and Flamboyant Natural types are typically taller, while Gamines are often shorter and petite.

Absolutely! Kibbe types aren’t based on size; they’re about proportions and natural lines. Whether plus-size or petite, anyone can find their Kibbe type and use it to create harmonious looks.

Though Kibbe originally designed the system with women in mind, the principles of yin and yang balance, along with the emphasis on body lines, can be useful for men interested in finding harmonious styles.

Once you know your Kibbe type, you can explore style guides and outfit ideas tailored to your type’s unique traits, helping you choose lines, shapes, and colors that bring out your best.

Knowing your Kibbe type helps you streamline your wardrobe by choosing styles, silhouettes, and fabrics that naturally complement your body, making it easier to build a cohesive, flattering wardrobe.

The Kibbe system is detailed and helps people understand what really suits them, making it an appealing tool for style enthusiasts looking for personalized advice beyond traditional body typing.
