I like the dramatic look. It's edgy , and pretty. I wish they had a kibbe mall with all the different categories each shop would be a different type.
This was SO helpful, Meriam. Thank you!! As a dramatic who has heard, "You're so tall and thin you can wear anything." Um no. No, I can't.. :D Liya is absolutely stunning. All of her looks are impeccable and gorgeous!
Oh my goodness finally some awesome style inspiration for the Dramatic. Thank you!
She is SO beautiful (and I would only use this word if it is inside out) and so are you.
Minimalist is so chic on Dramatics yet down to earth. What a beautiful soul💜 . All her looks are amazing but I love the shorts and simple white top.
Another great video for understanding the different types.
What an awesome wholesome video! I especially love how you chose not just a celeb, but an actual style icon (and an amazing human being), I'd love to see more of these
Yet another stunning dramatic who gives off ethereal vibes 😍
Interesting how too much Gamine or Romantic takes away from a Dramatic . I think I am learning the differences. 😊
Thanks so much got uploading ao many videos in such a short time. Your videos are addictive 😁❤️
Dramatics are so chic 👌🏻
Could you do a video comparing dramatic and dramatic classic? Thank you.;)
Yes, pretty please!
Yes yes yes, dramatic classic
ok, I know figured out I am a dramatic. without a doubt. thank you for this video. Now I finally know why I have always gravitated to these minimal looks. what a relief. lol
Learning that I was a dramatic just like Liya made me like my kibbe type ! Thank you for this video !
I really enjoyed this video even though Im not dramatic! it reminds me I wanted to suggest a video that looks at rules all the types can break or elements they can bring in of other types in the right amount for when they want to achieve a certain look. Id be really interested to know that! 🌸🌺
Merriam, could you do a video on pixie cuts for the different body types? Not all of us can (due to thin hair) or wish to wear their hair long. Yet most recommendations for best hair for most body types seem to suggest longer hair - which is just not an option for some of us. It would be extremely helpful to see what your recommendations would be on this matter. Thank you - I love your channel!
Pixies are mpre suited for Gamines and Dramatics.
She also follows her colourtype, cool & delicate, pretty good. Not a bright & warm colour in sight (except the yellow top) - primarily grey/white/black and quite soft cool colours.
1st like, Love from one Dramatic to another I love Liya's style!😍 Thank you Merriam!
This was so interesting! Liya is definitely an amazing and gorgeous woman
I loved this vlog, especially because you brought attention to someone occasionally straying from their Kibbe type and still looking good!
btw you should do more hair related vids
That was brilliant! A very informative, enjoyable, and easy to follow video -I want to be a dramatic now-.
Thank you for your hard work!
She really is so effortless in style. For the gamines, one person that I think ALWAYS gets it right is Miroslava Duma (I think she is a soft gamine). She is the CEO and founder of Future Tech Lab and a charity organization named Peace Planet which aims to help children in need of medical assistance and education. I think for me she encompasses the none cute gamine look. And there is also Jenna Colmen
Yes she's an amazing gamine style icon!! (And Jenna Coleman too!)
I love Miroslava's style as well!
Merriam could you do swimming suits? I am soooo lost with that!
I'd love it as well! As a natural, I was always sad that I looked weird in body tight swimsuits. Then I found ones with boho swinging fringe or cascading ruching on them and they look so much better!
Yes yes yes!!!!!
artemisrain I am a soft classic and all the swimming suits look like made for dramatics or naturals😩
@@di3486 Don't worry, I'm sure we can learn from kibbe and figure out something that works best for you. :) Classics are usually best with clean, simple, symmetrical looks. I'd think a solid color one piece would look better on a classic than anyone else.
artemisrain That sounds about right!
I've always loved Liya Kebede's style. Reminds me of Ines Sastre, Nadege Du Bospertus and Florinda Bolkan's style.
Great video, with more variety in options for dramatics. I'm a dramatic and can even see similarities in facial bone structure, though more so thinking back to when I was younger
LOVE your videos! 😄 Very clear and concise, and I love that your understanding of Kibbe doesn’t limit the types of clothes body types can wear!
I know you touched on this on your Soft Gamine video, but you could you PLEASE make a video breaking down different looks for gamines by using different body type lines? Like which other body type clothes would make us look more delicate/more badass/more chic? That series of videos is awesome! 😍
Thanks for this video,spot on for my kibbe style. SO much easier to clean out all the wrong things from the closet from now on👍
This was so cute and wholesome!!🥰🥰🥰 I hope you can show style icons for every body type in the future. Especially for Soft Natural since I'm one lol.
Thank you! This really helped me!
I would love some more style icon videos (or any Kibbe video really, you're so amazing at making those :)), you explain the lines of each type and the difference between different types better than anyone I've come across. Liya is such a good choice for showing how awesome you look when wearing your own lines, she looks impeccable in so many of these pictures! By the way, what would your advice be for a FN who wants to look softer and a bit more delicate, whose lines can FNs borrow some elements from? Thanks for uploading so many videos in such a short time!
Let me think on it for FN!
I want to say some elements of dramatic because it would make the blunt angles of FN look softer, but since FN still has some bold yang, a bit of elements of dramatic may not look so separate!
Wow, I’ve been telling my sharp, narrow, 5-11, daughter that she’s a dramatic. She 16 and has been so confused about her style, thinking she needed to dress like me or her friends but she would look amazing in all of these looks!
Love this video! Are you gonna do one of these for all the types?
Yes! Could you do a video about dramatic classic please? Maybe even how to spice up dramatic classic w/o being so plain
Great video, thanks
So helpful!
Woooah I have a friend with that last name! I wonder if they are related. My friend is model material too, she’s stunning.
This is awesome! Could you do this for style icons of other IDs? Like maybe Kate Middleton for a classic.
I wish I could afford your service. I am pretty sure I am a FG or DC and an autumn. I love your videos!
I have a video called are Classics boring and Gamines fun (all about DC lines vs FG lines, so you could try elements of each to see which looks better), and also a video called 'Confused by the Kibbe test, try this'--take a look if you haven't already!
A good rule of thumb is if your struggle is that you look boring all the time, you might actually be a gamine because they need a ton of detail to not look....basically plain! If your struggle is that you look ridiculous all the time, might be dramatic classic.
But flamboyant gamines can also really struggle to wear romantic or theatrical romantic, dramatic classics can sometimes do that better.
💚
This video is amazing, would you to something like this but with soft gamines? Cause I was feeling a bit boring just using my signature soft gamine look for everyday, and most of the videos I found talk abaut dresses or too formal clothes and not casual
Hi, in the meantime you could get some casual inspo from the Olsen twins, soft gamines I believe, I remember seeing many modern chic street style looks from them.
Hello Merriam...can you do tattoos for body types please? 😍😍😍
Isabela Michetschlaeger yesssss!!!!
❤❤
This was a GREAT video. Thank you.
It's interesting to see a dramatic face that isn't so sharp you can cut diamonds on it without getting in to SD category. That tends to throw me off a bit.
But now I'm wondering if I can cross off dramatic from the list again, because I am way more curvy.
I know either you or Aly did one with overweight examples, can I request more of that? How *do* overweight dramatics look in oversized non tailored clothes? Because it tends to make me look fat, and judging by this it shouldn't, so that means I'm probably not a dramatic after all?
Yes, I don't think that your own lines should make you look fatter than you are! It really depends because of course you'll look fatter than you did before in everything if you've gained weight. The real question is what do you look best in right now! If you were thinner and you thought you were dramatic (perhaps because you just couldn't see your curves as clearly), then that makes sense. How does soft dramatic look?
@@merriamstyle When looking at dramatics and seeing them as examples, I can recognise quite a lot of things. Especially after losing weight, I can see the sharp nose and jawline. And the test does give me a lot of A answers on Kibbes list, due to being tall with slim arms and legs, even when I do gain weight
However, I do have some soft flesh on me, especially my bust. Kind of like Tyra Banks, but she's a bit more hourglass shaped than I am, with that (excuse the expression) "black bootay" and such. Mine is rather unntoiceable.
But then, the SD examples that are used everywhere tend to look way more like Spanish Senorita's than I will ever look as a scandinavian, and I don't have the big eyes or lips, more small ones like regular Dramatics. However, dramatic oversized clothes will just hang straight down from the bust, making the rest of me look as big as my bust, and thus I will look fat. But shirts and blazers etc tend to look great on me if fitted in the waist, so I know you have suggested Gamine before, and Taylor Swift is apparently gamine, but the boxy shapes of gamines don't really look great on me either *sigh*
I think SD clothes would look pretty okay, but I'm not sure I can do the stereotypical bold versions, like on some pinterest boards where they really do suggest dressing like a senorita, with big puffy arms and really attention-seeking patterns etc. It would make me feel way too self-conscious.
@@FannysLoA That's interesting! Dramatic recommendations don't take into account a shapelier bust line, so I wonder if you can find creative ways to alter them (your facial features being less yin does imply to me you might not be soft dramatic). For example, you can wear a long pretty open cardigan with some clean lines, and add also one line of the same color (maybe a v-neck top that's quite tight, and some pants in a similar color to the v-neck that go all the way to the floor). With that cardigan, it's alright if the top is tighter (to show your waist) since you already have one long line of the same color, and the cardigan or blazer or whatever the thing you layer on top would be in dramatic lines in theory! What do you think?
@@merriamstyle Yeah, Dramatics, and to some extent FNs are supposed to have a small bust. Which then should leave me out of those types, but there is all the other things that make me fall more in the yang category of things. But then again, the same is true for Taylor Swift, and you typed her as Gamine, so... But although she has a bit of a shaped figure, she doesn't really have a noticeable bust, so typing her as the stereotyped "teen boy" might work better for her than for me where the bust is the first thing people notice.
Yeah, tha might work. I have looked at pinterest, there are some outfit ideas that people made from the old polyvore website, showing the difference between D and SD in work outfits and such. And mixing the two up a bit could definately work. But then, mixing them up would mean that I don't fall in to the type categories, and that's kind of impossible.... Then again, when Aly showed the Kibbe book, the SD example there wasn't a typical senorita, just a less intimidating version of the D due to a little bit of softer flesh, and then that could fit me pretty well. So I suppose I just have to go meet Kibbe and ask him, when I win the lottery :P
hello merriam, i have 2 questions:
what happens with the body type of a trans person? on hormones or not?
what happens with the body type of children?
thank you!
1) Being trans won't in of itself affect the answers - ex. "answer A" limbs are still "answer A" no matter the sex/gender of the person attached. Hormones can make flesh more yin/yang though. 2) Is this about typing kids? Kibbe's system doesn't really work for them imo. Kid's bodies/faces change so fast, it can be hard to predict what type they'll settle on.
Yeah, I understand that hormones only change flesh and not bones, so if that's the case, then a trans person can go to a softer type within their main type. For example, from gamine to soft gamine, from dramatic to soft dramatic, from natural to soft natural, from classic to soft classic. But they won't go from classic to romantic, or from romantic to gamine, because those would require for the bone structure to change!
And for kids, sure they can have body types (even teddy bears have body types, I have a video on that!!), but the body type of children can change with age!
And re: children - Kibbe's system isn't designed for kids IMO. All kids start out loaded w/ yin, but their faces/bodies change so much it's hard to predict which type they'll settle in.
Scoop Maloop I personally think that most people aren’t really settled into their Kibbe body type until their 20’s, because we’re still losing baby fat and growing taller by that age. I changed A LOT from 15 to 19, I went from a Romantic to a Soft Dramatic (I lost a ton of baby fat on my face and my body, I grew a lot taller and my overall bones got visibly larger, also increasing my vertical line). Currently, at age 19, I’m a SD, and I’m pretty positive I’ll get slightly more angular as I lose more baby fat, but I don’t think I’ll grow into a Dramatic, since lips can’t get thinner and eyes can’t get more downturned! As for trans people, I think it depends: I have a trans friend who is a Natural, and I’ve seen pictures of her pre transition and she was still a Natural. A great celebrity example is Caitlyn Jenner: before her transition she was officially classified by Kibbe as Flamboyant Natural, and now, after transition, she’s still a Flamboyant Natural!
Could someone look at my Instagram and try to help me figure out my kibbe type? Some of my pictures are from teenage years so it could kinda change but it would be sooo helpful because o have such a problem with being objective
Hey love ur videos. Can u do a video about men, I’ve a hard time finding my kibbe type. Also if anyone could help I’d appreciate it a lot ^^
Here are my answers ( they are in the order of the quiz) I’m 5’8ft and 133lbs if that helps
Body: d,d,b,e,c,b,b,a,d
Face:a,d,b,a,c,b,a
Thx a lots ^^
hey girl 👋🏻
oh hai!
I envy her long limbs and slim clean body type. Often, you look so much more stylish when you are tall. Sigh
You look very stylish on your profile photo with your red lip, super French.
We all look stylish in our own lines.. thats the beauty of Kibbie, no type is better than another! ♡
We can all look stylish if we wear the right lines, hair, and makeup for our body types. Look at 10:15 , she looks really messy of she's not wearing her own lines and when she has shorter hair.
I think I’m a dramatic but I don’t like any of these looks. I don’t like deep V lines or oversized clothes. I actually like to dress more feminine but my body is not exactly feminine, great. This kibbe stuff is really confusing for me
Excuse me her natural hair is curly. Ummm. Leave black womens hair alone.
You could check out 11:23 - 12:28 of this video. So many ladies ask me for curly hair looks for the body types, why would I exclude anyone?
@@merriamstyle I get it but she looks good however she styles her hair.
She didn't say anything wrong. She's simply talking about how natural hair is best shaped if you're a Dramatic. Another example would be Grace Jones.
