This is a REVELATION! I've always struggled with summer style because I always felt like I looked like a slob in comfortable styles that look cute on other women. This gives me some great direction!
This is why short, color blocked, outfits especially with a short flared skirt look crazy on me. These styles are definitely ones that I gravitate towards. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
What about a video on different hair stylings on different body types. Not just the different hair cuts but updos and braids and aesthetics achieved through styling. Kind of a big topic but I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately.
I’ve watched a ton of these videos and only just got around to watching the “Aly Sings” playlist. Oh. My. Goodness. I have just found my new favorite background music. Phenomenal voice. If anyone else hasn’t seen it yet, seriously, head on over there!
This is definitely me (my body type) and totally my style. I agree with everything (what should & should not wear) I always feel that Aly always gets it 100% right! Smart lady.
Aly, I have followed your channel for several years, and I am really impressed with how vast your knowledge is of Kibbe Style. Additionally, the photos and details that you provide are incredibly helpful. Thank you for the excellent quality of all that you do.
I‘m Dramatic Classic, but the typical recommended style is not really my vibe at all. (Definitely my twin sister‘s though!) But I love the theory behind it because I think it‘s accurate and it‘s been pretty helpful! So thanks Aly! :)
That because DC clothing is boring and a bit “old” looking. I love DC for winter. Looks super sharp… but as a young woman a lot of our style recommendations for DC are not age appropriate and make us look older than we are 😢
@@EvaLou42 For real! My style is more 1700s men‘s fashion. Especially riding attire! But it‘s cool because the Kibbe System still works! A long tailcoat maintains a long vertical line and provides sharp details like the lapels, so it works :)
that's very convenient thank u , i'm a dramatic classic with 5ft9 height and I always wondered why big fluffy dress or gipsy skirts looks so bad on me ( my body get lost in them ) now i understand why
I had doubts about your classification. Decided to to watch this after taking your test. I'm impressed ! It's really just like me. I love romantic looks but it always feels wrong on my body and I naturally go for structured pieces. I appreciate all the pictures!
You are so good doing this! It's great the way you described everything. Thanks a lot! Finally, now in my 50s, I have understood many things about clothing that until now I had only guessed at, but did not really understand
It seems that all the lines recommended for classics are very similar, with slight differences in detailing that don't seem to make a big difference. I would classify myself as either a pure classic or soft classic, but I prefer wearing dramatic classic details as they make me look more formal while soft classic lines make me look more casual. But I can't tell whether one of these looks more harmonious on me than the other
I’m a dramatic classic body type who tried to rock “street style” Hailey Bieber clothing and now I realize why that never worked for me 😅 I just learned so much. Sounds like Madewell would be a great store for us to utilize
This is so good. I m a DC and I agree on this. On every example you have showed. Thanks, this helps a lot. And what is funny: I have a pastel yellow polo shirt but with a black striped collar and a few days ago my mom complimented me on wearing it. And now you say in your video that a contrasted colour on the collar looks great on DC :D
This is the most useful video i have ever watched! Amazing recommendatoons and answers all my questions including "why this looks weird on me". Thank you Aly, so happy to see you progressing and your channel is growing :)
I'm a dramatic classic, I get the most compliments in suits, classic pieces, trench coats, old money preppy outfits. BUT, Kibbe says classics gain weight mainly on the hips, which isn't the case for me, and doesn't look like the case for the example celebs you showed. I gain weight equally all over, which I think is what a moderate classic means? Isnt it supposed to be romantics who have luscious hips that get plumper with weight?
Don't focus on where you gain weight or what Kibbe says about these details, fabric weight, garment's construction and how it fits your body is way more important, Kibbe is a dressing system after all
Spot on for me...thank you! Now I understand why loose light fabric tops like t-shirt with drape neck etc never suit me. I'm thinking may be same reason dresses with loose flowy hems..like asymmetric or high low hems etc also make my legs look too angular... despite having fairly thin long legs.
Watching this, I now believe I am a combination of Dramatic Classic with a bit of Natural mixed in. I definitely look better with those styles in this video. At last, I now know how to best dress!
Unpopular opinion perhaps… but very thin dramatic classics can often be mistaken for flamboyant gamines OR at the very least pull off a lot of FG clothes. So if you feel drab or “old” in these kind of straight, tailored, monochrome clothes and you tend to be on the leaner side… try some more playful gamine stuff (especially for summer). I’m about 5’7 120 lbs but I can totally raid my FG mom’s closet and a lot of her clothes work AMAZINGLY well for me… and to be real FG clothes are way more fashionable, sexy, and fun than DC clothes 😅 Side note… Audrey Hepburn was (in my personal opinion) a severely underweight DC who had a lot of FG essence and she’s literally the kibbe prototype of FG… so there’s that lol
Aly, thanks for this video! I always enjoy watching your Kibbe vids because they really help me in my wardrobe. Ever since I measured myself, determined myself to be a dramatic classic and dressed for that type, my sense of style has improved dramatically, as well (pun not intended lol) and I've upgraded my wardrobe slowly ever since. I would love for you to talk about sports or workout outfits that suit dramatic classic! (Tops, bottoms, shoes, bags, fabric, etc.) I wanna work on being fit while still looking stylish loool
Thanks Aly! Could you do a video on some companies that specialize in clothing for each body type? I have a hard time finding structured pieces as a dramatic.
Thank you for the valuable information!! Just a question. At the beginning you say that DC should not wear contrasted outfits but one colour from top to bottom. And later at the "separates" section you say that contrasted top and bottoms look great. I am a little comfused...☺☺
This made so much sense! Thank you ❤ It’s funny cause some of the points you made are what I’ve noticed and this helped solidified that I am a dramatic classic.
I'm a dramatic classic, with slight undertones (according to the Kibbe quiz) of flamboyant gamine. I'm somewhere between 5'6" & 5'7". I lean more into the dramatic classic body lines for what I'm looking for in my own clothing, but I've found certain lines from the flamboyant gamine can fit my body style. It's be fairly hard for me to find Summer dresses and skirts that I enjoy wearing because the fabric looks and feels like a bed sheet to me normally, but leaning towards chiffon makes a lot of sense! I've also found that I can wear a A-line skirts and dresses, so long as they don't have too much flare and fabric---so more like a partial A-line than a full A-line. Fit & flares also tend to be my favourites as well! Do any dramatic classics have any other clothing recommendations?
This is me too. I think Audrey Hepburn (kibbe verified and prototype FG) was a very thin DC… so I think DCs can often look and feel better in FG lines/style. I’m constantly raiding my FG mom’s closet 😅 but if you’re looking for style inspiration for this DC/FG “type” just look no further than Audrey Hepburn.
Hello! I consider myself DC (I'm angular, 5'7 and have long thin bones) however I have well-defined waist, I'm an hourglass or even pear-ish. Giving that can I be DC or it's another type? At first I thought I could be classic but angularity shifted my thinking towards DC You also mentioned contrast look good on DC, what kind of contrast can you recommend for soft summer type? since we are no so good in high contrast and morre soft, muted. Or soft contrast also counts? And the last question is what dress is on the 5:00 ? can you tell the brand? Thanks a lot for your videos! love them!!! You're doing such a serious work ! Kisses from Russia
@taisiiakrivoruchenko8011- Ellie Jean at Body and Style did a great video on Colour Seasons and how to interpret them which I think could be helpful for you with this! Basically, you just use the versions of colours in your colour palette that best fits the description. So instead of lemon yellow and royal blue (think Snow White - a Winter) your high contrast might be dusky pink and hunter green.
I just hope the Kibbe Types RUclipsrs would start using more relatable real life bodies and sizes, we are not all skinny models , that's what confuses most people interested in knowing their type..
Hi Aly, thanks a lot!!! Did i hear IT right: we can wear/look good in contrasted colours/patterns in shirts/blouses and trousers? and especially contrast near the face? For example stripes at the top and polka dots/flowers at the bottom but the patterns or colors should have a strong contrast? I'm a summer type (soft or true) + who doesn't harmonize so well with bold colors...
Yes… totally supports my theory in the cross over towards Flamboyant gamine in thinner DCs. The thinner the DC the more she probably can/should lean towards FG… the softer the DC the more she should stick to the traditional DC recommendations. For example, in this video she mentions a “twiggy” inspired 60s dress for DC. Twiggy was a kibbe verified FG. This is a good recommendation more for the leaner DCs… for curvier or overweight DCs they should avoid color blocking (especially with bright colors) or anything too short, angular, boxy, or asymmetrical. Stick to the classic DC look with a long silhouette and a monochromatic look.
Hello Aly, once again, a very well detailed explanation of dramatic classic style. Of all the body types, I resonate most with the dramatic classic type. I've made up my mind, that's what I am, as opposed to a dramatic gamine. I had a bit of confusion going on, especially since I am only 5'4". Though people often think I am taller. I have an unusual "request" may I suggest that you use the words "bottom" or "bum" instead of "butt" ? It's just more classy. Also, when you talked about "calves" you pronounced it as " cuffs", which is that extra fold at the bottom of your pants. English teacher here, I hope it's not offensive. Cheers!
Okay, I have to ask. What kind of undergarment are you wearing with your top?? The top looks so sheer and delicate and I find when I try on anything like this, you can see my bra even if it is nude😂
Ok but what if a dramatic classic wants to look cool, young and trendy instead of outdated, boring and middle aged? I would never wear most of the suggestions for a DC because they are way too mature and not in style at the moment. Or am I just not a dramatic classic?
5'8 is on the border. Dramatic classic and dramatic certainly have a lot in common so you can play around with that and see if you are more sharpened-balanced or more overall sharp/angular.
@@Lindalindali the height limits are not ridiculous. They make a lot of sense. And you will keep staying angry if you see any accomodation as a "negative characteristic" That you want to hide and get rid of. Every one has 1 singilar ID. You don't have 3 or 5 or 7. Disqualifying some by accomodation makes it EASIER for you to find the one that fits you, instead of harder. The image ID system isn't about deciding what you like and then getting angry aboutabything that tells you that maybe it's not the best fit. It's about finding what suits you most naturally
The many PHOTOGRAPHIC EXAMPLES you have chosen make everything you're saying so CLEAR. Thank you!
Agree lol she is thorough!
Yes! I look like a giant toddler in denim shorts and i didn't know why. They look so cute on other people. 🙃
😅 not a giant toddler!
This is a REVELATION! I've always struggled with summer style because I always felt like I looked like a slob in comfortable styles that look cute on other women. This gives me some great direction!
That blouse is amazing on you, Aly!
Yes, this white blouse and and white jeans look gourgous on her!
This video explained to me why so many styles I've tried looked "fake" or unflattering on me. I'm now pretty sure this is my body type.
This is why short, color blocked, outfits especially with a short flared skirt look crazy on me. These styles are definitely ones that I gravitate towards. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Your expertise, analyses and examples help me so much. Thank you!
I am a classic between the soft and dramatic and watched both videos. Absolutely on point with all recommendations. 👌👌
What about a video on different hair stylings on different body types. Not just the different hair cuts but updos and braids and aesthetics achieved through styling. Kind of a big topic but I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately.
I’ve watched a ton of these videos and only just got around to watching the “Aly Sings” playlist. Oh. My. Goodness. I have just found my new favorite background music. Phenomenal voice. If anyone else hasn’t seen it yet, seriously, head on over there!
Thank you Aly! Absolutely useful each detail as a dramatic classic myself 👗👖👕

This is the video that will SAVE ME. I live in a hot, very humid climate, so this is perfect. Thank you so much!!❤

This is great- answers all my questions- and I finally know for sure that I am a dramatic classic. Also, You look extra radiant today, Aly!
She does look great doesn't she?
Thank you Aly! Was waiting for this one!❤

Dear Aly, please do a video about special occasion/evening/black tie event for the body types. Thank you
Wow! This was great! Aly, you provided wonderful photo examples. So much hard work went in to this post. Thanks so much❤
You're amazing. I learned a lot and now I know why certain styles work/don't work for me ❤ Thank you!
Fantastic tips, thank you 😅
Brilliant video, thank you so much!!
Pls do a video in lounge wear for the body types. ESP dramatic classics
8:09 I love that outfit with the two colours
I noticed if I wear a structured, short dress for example, I can skip the waist emphasis, otherwise I will never give it up! 😅
Waiting tr like crazy! Great job!
I’ve been on a crazy kibbie journey and am finally coming to see that I’m a DC (maybe a FG) and this video is so helpful!
This is so right on! It describes me to a tee!
this was soooooooo helpful and amazingly and efficiently articulated. thank you!
Amazing video! ❤ You are always very beautiful!
This video was very helpful. Thank you!
Priceless adfvice. Thank you!
Great job! This was very helpful! I love ALL your videos! ❤️

We need tr next
I just hope the Kibbe Types RUclipsrs would start using more relatable real life bodies and sizes, we are not all skinny models , that's what confuses most people interested in knowing their type..
So question, have you any tips for a dramatic classic who is carrying weight on tummy (after babies) and is just a little short waisted?
Hi Aly, thanks a lot!!! Did i hear IT right: we can wear/look good in contrasted colours/patterns in shirts/blouses and trousers?
and especially contrast near the face?
For example stripes at the top and polka dots/flowers at the bottom but the patterns or colors should have a strong contrast? I'm a summer type (soft or true) + who doesn't harmonize so well with bold colors...
I mean 7:50 - 9:05
does the statement apply to tops and skirts only?
Yes correct! Thank you )))
It applies to dresses and color blocks too. But if you are very soft - just choose more muted and soft color combinations from your pallette!
Yes… totally supports my theory in the cross over towards Flamboyant gamine in thinner DCs. The thinner the DC the more she probably can/should lean towards FG… the softer the DC the more she should stick to the traditional DC recommendations.

more dramatic/classic please
Enjoying your videos!
can't wait for the soft natural!!❤
Thank you😇👍
Thank you ❤
Please do soft dramatic ❤❤❤
She did about 1 month ago
Can you please link the top? Link doesn’t work. Thnx!
Thank you so much!!❤
I loveeeed iiiiit gracias!!!!
Thanks! I am dramatic classic
Sooo good!! Thank you!!
Also, what do you mean by symmetry? Aren't most people vaguely symmetrical?

I'm a dramatic with a tummy, fitted accent this area , video for suggestion appreciated
Funny cuz I’ve always hated denim shorts on me. I always liked suit shorts on Me
Great video!
Theatrical romantic next pls
ALY PLS POST TR NEXT I NEED IT FOR BUYING CLOTHES 😭💀
Theatrical romantic, please!
Soft Dramatic please.
Much needed
thanks that helps a lot
Okay, I have to ask. What kind of undergarment are you wearing with your top?? The top looks so sheer and delicate and I find when I try on anything like this, you can see my bra even if it is nude😂
I might be a dramatic classic
Some of this info is great, but it seems to only cover skinny women. What about classics who are overweight?
Unfortunately not enough photos. I mostly use celebrities who are in Kibbes celebrity list.
is kate mideltton dramatic classic ?
No she isnt
FN with a classic essence 😊
❤❤❤
This is very helpful...Please do true gamine type..❤❤❤
She did it last week
Ok but what if a dramatic classic wants to look cool, young and trendy instead of outdated, boring and middle aged? I would never wear most of the suggestions for a DC because they are way too mature and not in style at the moment. Or am I just not a dramatic classic?
So I can be DC being 5'8? Because my proportions are rather DC.
No, at 5'8 you can be D, SD, or FN
5'8 is on the border. Dramatic classic and dramatic certainly have a lot in common so you can play around with that and see if you are more sharpened-balanced or more overall sharp/angular.
Lily Aldridge - who seems to be an archetypal DC - is 5’9’. This is what led me to believe that I may also be a DC (at 5’9)
The height restrictions are ridiculous. Humans are getting taller and taller
