Flamboyant Natural
Physical Features of a Flamboyant Natural
Broad, blunt bone structure with wide shoulders and muscular build. Long limbs with athletic frame and natural width through upper body. Strong facial features with broad jawline, large nose, and wide-set eyes.
Note: Modern Kibbe emphasizes overall line, silhouette, and how fabric drapes on the body rather than checking off individual features. These physical descriptions serve as general guides to understand each type's accommodation needs (vertical, width, curve, petite), not as strict checklists. Your Kibbe type is about what your body needs in clothing, not matching every listed trait.

What is the Kibbe Body Type Test?
The Kibbe body type test is a comprehensive style system created by David Kibbe in 1987 that categorizes bodies into 13 distinct types based on bone structure, body flesh, and facial features. Unlike simple body shape systems that categorize bodies as hourglass, pear, or apple, the Kibbe system considers your entire physical essence to create a complete style profile that helps you understand which clothing styles, fabrics, and silhouettes will naturally flatter you.
This system has helped millions discover their natural style direction. Each of the 13 Kibbe types represents a unique combination of Yin (soft, curved, delicate) and Yang (sharp, angular, strong) characteristics. By identifying your type, you'll discover which lines, patterns, and styling approaches work harmoniously with your natural features rather than against them.
How Does Our Test Work?
We offer two cutting-edge methods to determine your Kibbe body type, both using advanced technology to provide accurate results:
AI Photo Analysis
Our proprietary computer vision system, trained on 1,000+ verified Kibbe types, analyzes your body proportions, bone structure, and overall lines from your photos. The AI identifies key measurements and patterns that human eyes might miss, providing objective analysis based on proven body typing principles.
Advanced Quiz Algorithm
Unlike traditional quizzes that simply count A-E answers, our algorithm uses multi-stage weighted analysis. It independently evaluates Yin/Yang balance across bone structure, body flesh, and facial features, detects mixed types through juxtaposition patterns, validates height compatibility, and automatically identifies subtypes. This sophisticated approach mirrors professional assessment methods for significantly more accurate results.
Both methods leverage advanced pattern recognition to provide you with the most accurate typing possible, whether you prefer the objectivity of AI analysis or the introspective approach of the quiz.
Why Take the Kibbe Body Type Test?
