Since understanding my kibbe body type through your videos, I am so much more confident in seeing just what I know will work in stores, regardless of trends. Thank you!
yeah it's true, even if I find something looking fabulous on the hanger or on someone else I can recognize if it would work for my body type and can accept that not everything is for me but that there are other pieces that are perfect for me!
@@GoOutside321 trends are things that come and go, so i don't think bodies, healthy or otherwise, should ever be "trendy" (though i understand your sentiment, and appreciate it). And also different body types/ shapes can all be healthy - curvy, skinny, muscular - and focusing on specific shapes/ types being trendy can have hugely detrimental impact on self-esteem of people who have a different type of (healthy) body. Clothing, hairstyles, makeup etc however are things that definitely CAN be trendy or not and don't impact yourself as a person (of course it's upto you whether you want to follow the trend or not).
This was a really great, in depth and accurate look at this subject. I felt like I was listening to a top lecturer, your memory and eloquent speaking is amazing. Most clothing ends up in land fill and that's shocking. That clothing ends up under the ground. So much waste and we keep buying. We need to buy less trends for sure.
I was waiting for almost 15 years, it seemed to me, for the skinny jeans/jegging obsession to cool down. Now, I buy as many wide leg jeans as I can possibly get, in every colour, and in every size that accommodates my fluctuating weight. I've learned my lesson. I have odd shaped hips and thighs, and no other cut suits me!
I was the opposite! Growing up in the 90s with all the baggy and wide trousers which looked awful on me yet so cool on everyone else, I was lost until skinny jeans and jeggings became in style and then I was like 'ohhhh I see, this works a lot better on me!' 😂 I've loved tight black leather(ish) trousers since I was 16, I bought SO many when they became popular at last! Wishing you all the most stylish pairs of gorgeous wide leg jeans in the world ❤
I love your approach to developing personal style! 🙏 When it comes to trends, this Oscar Wilde quote comes to mind: “A fashion is merely a form of ugliness so absolutely unbearable that we have to alter it every six months!” Of course Wilde was very fashionable!
I loved the part about "they will remember your face, your hair, your eyes, not the clothes" 😍 I wear rather plain and classic clothing, so I love this idea
Now that I know my Kibbe body type from watching your videos, I feel like I know what looks good on me and what doesn’t. I’ve found that some of the clothes I have always loved were the right ones! Funny how that works out. Anyway, I’ve learned a lot from your videos, so thank you!
I agree with this entirely. I dress for my body shape and style personality and then update the style with modern accessories. It is easy to incorporate trends in shoes, bags scarves, et. for a more up-to-date touch.
I have never changed my style much, nor have I ever looked really trendy from head to toe. Instead, I have continuously developed my personal style since I was about 13. The interest in the Kibbe system - thanks to you! - has confirmed me in my path.
Like you I wait for trend's that work with my body type and my personal style, then I buy! High waist pants and jeans look best on me, so I've bought a lot. When low waist jeans we're all you could find I mostly wore skirts. Understanding my Kibbe bodytype, soft dramatic, has also helped me sift through trends and pick the ones that actually flatter my body and make me feel confident and attractive.
I did follow trends because I was never satisfied with my clothes, so I always tried out new trends and hoped to find the perfect pants, the perfect dress, etc. I am a soft natural and now that everything is a bit more 70s looking (high waisted wide leg pants..) I finally feel good in my clothes! I am almost 37, so it took a very long time…
I love this video! So practical and realistic. Thank you! Watching your videos has helped me discover my Kibbe body type. When I started dressing more for my type, which is natural, it felt like "home".
I am aware of trends but don't neccessarily follow them. I wait for silhouettes & colors that I know work for me & buy when they are trending. Flare leg & wider leg pants with a highre waist, puffed sleeves, midi & maxi dresses, dusters, low heeled shoes & boots are all a yes. No to cropped pants, mini skirts, skinny jeans, low waisted pants, oversized anything, sky high heels, boxy anything.
After learning from your videos over the years I have stopped buying things with a loose waist or anything that flows out from the waist or is empire line . I like those floaty hippy pieces and my friends look amazing in them, they look awful on me! I am slim FG type with a long thin waist, short legs, flat chest and my body type needs 'staccato'. I think I will get some boxy cropped clothes in sales while the trend is still around!
I’ve got 3 closets of clothes (small closets, I live alone and just throw coats and dresses in one, winter/ summer away in one and main one is what I pull from.) My goal this winter/new year is to combine everything into one closet and go simple. I have so much “maybe I’d wear if I did this/went there” items 😂 Happy New Year 🥂
Thank you Aly 💐very interesting points of view, I am intrigued 🙂. You are so right, it is much more fun to wear the clothes one looks beautiful in, as you said, those become classics. Now my mind knows, too that what feels good to wear mostly looks good. Thinking back, yes I only wore and wear trends if they feel good when I look in the mirror or on a photo.
Knowing one's body type, colour palette and essence is essential. I shop a lot online and I can now immediately spot a mistake: something too graphic, too long, too oversize, etc. right away. I now return almost nothing! As for trends, I mostly ignore them but right now I am grappling with putting away my faux leather leggings as I feel they're out of style.
I follow for entertainment, and I wait for the trends similar to you - I’m FG, 5’2” and slim. So high waisted angular structures fabrics and lines closer to the body. Also I crop every pair of pants above my ankle no matter what the style!
Agree with you that you do not need to know every micro trend. Still, some silhouettes/patterns give dated vibes and I find it useful to learn about these topics and be aware of it
I fell into this trap when dressing for my kibble type and followed the rules . I looked very dated and didn't know why. It is true that some pieces are just more dated and it is good to refresh your wardrobe with current looks
I’m one of the people who wanted to look great but I couldn’t “see” how to when I was younger. It’s been about 2decades at this point but now I see and I love my sense of style and what I wear. I can pull off any item if I want (just practice and confidence really). But one tip that I would give is similar to your tip about basics - when I was in my early 20s I started exclusively wearing black. This allowed me to have a wardrobe that was essentially blank canvas to add elements to. Despite all the seasonal colour stuff I think that you can never go wrong with black
I never followed trends, but I definitely went through phases of liking certain clothing that I look back now and realize did not suit me, because I liked the idea of it and not the reality. I was also more concerned with what the clothes said about me and not whether it was optimal for my body type. Knowing my body type is soft classic also helped explain to me why something I perceived as beautiful looked so wrong on me, or why I had such an aversion to certain styles even as a child! You wouldn’t catch 7 yr old me dead wearing bell bottoms! 😂
Great points. It took me some years to learn, so I wouldn’t make expensive mistakes😳😂 so I am in between I do look a little bit in trends, but more so this year, I changed my style, from more cute, too over top, ( it’s aging/stuffy) like Chanel, to Old Celine archives Phoebe Philo and similar style designers. And i love it, it gives that no brand style, edginess. I got rid of most fitted , not tight like body cone dresses , but still very slender, close to body, it’s not that i had to change. I have hourglass figure, so all these type of clothes look good on me, I also tall 5’10 so on me, it’s just too sexy, too much attention. As I am aging, I don’t need that . I prefer more A line , and with styles that accentuate small waist, but doesn’t give attention to hips.. Happy New Year happiness and peace to you and yours 🙏❤️🎄🌴
I would be very interested in a video of your personal style, tomboish hipster. I'm tiny also, soft gamine in 44 and very young looking. I felt identified with what you said about not liked the trendy on 2000 decade. I always wore simply style, jeans mostly with a bit of rocker, grungy pieces but now I need some advice to look elegant with that bit of rock in equilibrium, without looking a teenager nor a goth. For example, I dont feel comfortable wearing ripped jeans or very grungy sweaters that I loved. I need something more sleek but with the alternative rocker bit of personality.
Olá Aly! Nunca gostei de tendências, porque dificilmente me encaixava nelas. Descobri que sou clássica dramatica. Me apaixonei pelo método de David kibbe. Seus vídeos são ótimos.
The concept of "waiting for your trend" is an eyeopener. I guess I am now waiting for a fitted, not tight, siluette instead of the oversized or form fitting modern look. My body is too romantic for oversize and my personality too meek for skin tight. I liked the hipster era too, in particular de "New Girl" style with the short dresses cinched at the waist
As a romantic body tyoe who only found oit anout thos 2 yeaes ago from you....all my life I felt ugly and fat or chubby at 157 cm. With gamine and natural body types girlfriends I felt the odd one out. I jist took watever I could and went with the flock but now looking at the photos 😂😂😂😂 The 2010's were fat better. I cut my hair short amd since I have a bit of gamine in me(my mum) it pooked okay with a red lipstick and soke tomboyish clothes. In your 20'a and early 30 s you can get away woth many things. After turning 35 I felt lost and now, for 2 years thanks to you I FINALLY kmow what suots me, why and why my husband was always right when he said:" stop wearing oversized clothes. You need fitted stuff!" I am still waoting for the romantic body type fashion to go in trend so that I can find more affordable clothes. For now, vintage reproductions look too vintage. And the brands that make more everyday romantic type clothing are out of my reach. Thankfully I discovered Vestaire colective and finally found a true pencil skirt made of viscose for only 15 english pounds🎉 I have a proufound dislike of trends and always have for more than 10 years now. They are always meant to make teens and shopaholics go wild. It is strange that trends have managed to make everyone look the same in the last 20 -30 years. There is less and less place for individuality lately. thanhk you for your great talent
I missed out on buying peplum items when it was trendy. I guess I didn't get my body type yet. I thought it is for women that lack curves and want to add some volume and shape. I, a Romantic managed to buy two pieces when the trend was finished and only then understood it was perfect for me. Next time, baby 😊
@@Progress_Not_Perfection Yes! That's the most cost-effective way! When decluttering my mom's shoes a few years ago, I knew that even if the hipster thrift store accepted nothing else, they would take the chunky high heeled loafers because they were on trend.
2019-20: I was so relieved when body con dresses, ribbed knits in viscose, cachemire and knitted bootcuts, and skinny jeans were everywhere , thanks Kim !!!! I don’t look fat in any way in those cuts contrary to what most people fear, I kept some pieces for almost 5 years now. The comfort of those fabrics is incredible it is stretchy and breathable, and tight… I can wear somenof my pieces almost all year long

Trends are the demise of personal style. The bigger the persona, the less interest in trends 🤝
We need to get to a place where ‘the body’ is not on trend; the clothes are.
Actually, it would be great when we get to a place where a healthy body is the trend, not the clothing
@@GoOutside321this 💯💯💯

If you have your own style, you don't have to worry about it either, because things that have aged poorly were actually tacky from the beginning.

The only upside to checking out trends is to see if there are many items for sale in colors, shapes, prints, etc. that you already know work for you.
True. And also to bring back the pieces that have been sitting at the back of your wardrobe, waiting for their time to shine again
@@Progress_Not_Perfection Yes! That's the most cost-effective way! When decluttering my mom's shoes a few years ago, I knew that even if the hipster thrift store accepted nothing else, they would take the chunky high heeled loafers because they were on trend.
