THANK YOU I never knew what would look good on me so I opted for "whatever won't make me stand out in a bad way". I always thought my body was just "weird", and its so freeing to understand that my body is just a "type" that many beautiful women share, that I can look beautiful in what I wear, that my clothes shouldn't be apologizing for what I''m not, but expressing what I am. I love my weird lil body 😭
I don't understand why kibbie had taken away gamine and left FG and SG because some people are more gamine than FG or SG. My mother and sister are Gamines and I wouldn't say either are SG or FG , they don't have the elongation or shoulder width to be FG but not curvy to be SG
Same thoughts but with Naturals. I'm mostly sure I'm some type of natural, but I don't have enough curve for SN, not enough wideness for being FN either 😐 Usually I combine tips for both and then I pray lol
@@ZurditaDinamita Not every type looks the same as others in that same type. You can just be a basic natural just like how there is a basic classic. I like to mix styles from SG, FG, and DC myself. Because it also depends on your facial essence. I have a more DC face, so those bright and extravagant patterns she says look good on FG, look terrible on me. My face disappears. You really just need to experiment with color and line for your own body cuz everyone is a mix. Though guides like this are a good starting point. I always take them with a grain of salt. Because essence and personal coloring will also change things.
I think the only type he should have removed was the pure Classic, because I guess no one is 100% “average” on everything, a little bit of extra yin or extra yang will always be visible on a classic. But the Gamines are all mixes of yin and yang in different proportions, I can easily see that a gamine can be a mix in a way that some extra yin or extra yang is not noticeable enough to unbalance the overall look.
wait same, i feel like im in between the two types a little bit. i tend to dress FG but with more minimal patterns or solid fun colors vs the noisiness usually prescribed to FGs
@@andyqv-goodvibes1900 and @ritaweygint4038 - I have the same "combination"/confusion - when I watch videos about FG I think I'm that. When I take any test/quiz to determine my Kibbe it's always a classic (a DC definitely). When I watch videos about a classic, I see the body shape fits and describes me better than FG, but very little else I find relatable between me and a DC style. I've been trying to figure it out for a while now.
Before I knew about Kibbe types, I used to dress this way. After I came across Kibbe during the lockdown, I’ve been living in confusion until recently when everything came full circle (realisation that I am an FG). Aly, in this video, is describing in detail what I used to intuitively do in terms of dressing up (without objectively seeing why). She’s truly has an artist’s eye to be able to see the lines and curves in each body type, and accurately recommend styles that enhance their beauty.
I always struggled with my body and wondered why things others with similar height of mine looked great in some dresses that looked horrible on me. And at the same time I discovered things that look good on me that now you’re describing and it finally makes sense.
I recently got interested in this Kibbe body thing and fortunately for me, it was easy to recognize I'm a FG. I already dress like this, it's reassuring. Btw, yeah, long rib knit dresses look amazing on FG. They're one of my go to clothing pieces that never fail.
Great video! Though I was hoping for a section on swimsuits… As a FG I struggle most with dresses & swimwear. I know there’s a swimwear video on this channel, but pretty much all the FG recommendations were one-pieces. It seems that due to our best lines, all our swimwear options are high waisted, high neck, have lots of cut-outs, and lots of one-pieces/ tankinis/ long-line bikini tops… I get why, but I like wearing regular bikinis and I want to avoid having crazy tan lines. Anyone know of any videos with bikini guidelines for FG, or does it not exist? 🥲🥴
Yeah same here, I've adapted my style over the last 3 years and feel like I look 100 times better than before, and the things she points out describe my favourite clothes to a T!
Thank you Ally! I'm a gamine not sure which one 😅 I wanted to comment on the sport clothes, I find that knee length pants look best as long as they are slim, or he safe big joggings and a tank top
Thank you so much for this amazing video. I am wondering if you ever divulged what you are? Flamboyant gamine, etc. I may have missed it but I’ve always felt you were a Gamine just as your Mum was. XO
I love your channel. Your videos are informative and I've learned a great deal from them. Thank you, it is obvious you put a lot of research into each video. My problem is I'm an older overweight soft gamine. How do I dress myself without looking frumpy or childlike?
I live in my Doc Marten fisherman sandals from the 90s, i like the balance i get when i wear them with asymmetrical (nothing past mid-calf!) bias cut skirts/dresses
I'm definitely a flamboyant gamine, but I'm 5'8" so I thought I was a FN or SD for a while-but no, definitely not. Everything in this video is exactly how I dress. Puffy/wide skirts look TERRIBLE on me lol Amazing content. Thank you!
Audrey hepburn was 5’7” so its possible. 5’8” is not that tall in the grand scheme of height. Anything above 5’9 is tall in my opinion. I cant wear tall girl items for instance they are too large for my body. hope that makes sense :)
I don’t know whether I’m a flamboyant gamine or soft natural. I suspect I’m a short SN though because I have upper curve and broad shoulders. There are clothing recs from both that work for me.
Hello. I am from Lithuania. And i ve found my long long dress that work. It is leopard long simple in lines dress with black belt. Love that look on me. And everyone say that this look is gorgeous❤ as for skirts, love them so much, i prefer straight lines, not too heavy not too light or romantic and combine them with a little bit oversize sweathers of jackets and I lovebig heavy loafers with golden chain on it. Only one thig I am trying to found out is my hear. I lovehow I look when tgey are in volume...but the problem is my hear is so straight😂😂😂😂 so...i va tried my hear very short but no...it doesnt fits my wider shoulders and body overall.
Hi Aly, tyou are so great at explainibg all this. I have obe problem though. How do we dress in cold ×when we don't want to show our ankles?? I hate being cold. Also, i don't feel so comfortable in little flats etc.or heels. I geew up in trainers running around my fathers farm. I like closed shoes mostly and flat. Shoes is something i struggle with, they never help my outfits. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!
Hi aly! you are one of the best channel fr learning about kibbe styles. Can u do a vid for those who identifies as one kibbe body style but likes the opposite kibbe style? fr ex I'm FG but I really wanna dress like the TR femme fatale sensual style which is totally opposite
I think she’s saying to avoid things that drape over the ankle as opposed to things that travel up the body (like the high neckline that she recommended). I like high tops with cropped pants!
Sneakers are nice as long as they don't cover the ankles. So, no high sneakers. Casual clothes just need to follow the same rules. If the top is wide, the bottom should be narrow. If the top is narrow, match with a wider bottom. Short top with longer bottom, or longer top with short bottom. No baggy clothes, everything should be properly fit to your size. Slightly larger is okay but not baggy for sure. Materials are on medium to heavy qualities, not flowy materials.
I'm a flamboyant gamine and also a pear shape that means my legs and thighs are very thick while my waist is narrow that means I have to wear flowy dress but I can't wear flowy dresses like circle skirts n all because of my kibbe body shape also I love 360 long skirts so much what do I do someone please help
OMG í always think im á Natural and just a 164cm Flamboyant Natural because im “meaty” for my frame..but after all im á Flamboyant gamine..fits my Style and personality😂
This explained a lot about what I feel of myself. I just sent for a Kibbe test with an analyst last week and I got FG. Though, I'm a Muslim and need to wear modest and covering clothes. So, it's hard to put it into pictures. Open ankle is probably hard to pull coz I need to cover my skin down to the feet. So, I wear stockings. But I guess, a short top with a pleated skirt would do. And a button down man's shirt with a narrow pants would do too. I can't emphasize my hip and chest, so they need to always be properly covered. Being an FG does feel tricky in this case. But let's see. The stylist will pull off the looks for me later and this vid is really helpful in getting to know myself! Thanks 😊.
I have a problem where I LOVE the whimisical goth style, it's the asthetic that translates me the most, and I'm a flamboyant gamine myself. It's a challenge.....
No hate, but I feel like “youthful” would be a better term to use instead of “childish.” It’s less infantilizing when discussing grown women. FG women don’t look like children to me because they’re not.
@@ZurditaDinamita Twiggy is tall for a Flam Gam at 5’6”. And her looks seem more dramatic and yang than a Flam Gam who is more combined with yin. Maybe she is at the very far end of Yang Flam Gam.
Twiggy is totally frame dominant imo, nothing else about her body stands out as much, and she is not a Dramatic for sure. She has big round eyes and delicate features, also she does not look tall/does not have long vertical line, because her head is big compared to the rest of her body, she looks like a teenager with her long limbs and small rectangular frame
I’m laughing so hard right now at your comment!! Agreeing here - I’m 80 years old and I still feel like I’m in my mother’s clothes when I ‘dress up! Best to just wear the silhouettes that work - still clomping around in my platforms!!! French sweater tops and capri pants!
This explains why I love combining masculine-looking garments like a long, tailored coat, with more feminine pieces like a cute dress :D.
"That will create that noisiness for you; just enough to support your wit - your sense of humor" You nailed it!
THANK YOU

Any Indian here?
Isn't lady gaga more of a theatrical romantic than a flamboyant gamine? Her bone structure and width is more similar to theatrical romantic
Her shoulders are wide, which gives her a combination of long and short bones overall = gamine. :)
