I’m a kibbe dramatic body type. It my essence is natural. I love the masculine lines of the dramatic, unfussy clothing with softer natural fabrics, natural hair and make up. Love clothing that’s comfortable and feel the best in casual pieces. my hair I love to wear with soft highlights and often worn curly and long. I love to be wild and free but simple and natural.

Really pleased to see the combo of natural and gamine with the Solange example

This video made me proud of what I see in the mirror. Thank you ❤️

I'm an FN and this really helped me understand why some gamine elements resonate with me- I've got some gamine in my essence, but i'm mostly natural essence. This video is an amazing pep talk for Natural women, both Kibbe and Kitchener. I'll come back to it when I need some inspiration.

I love having Natural Essence ☺️😍 I also have Soft Natural Kibbe Body Types. With Taurus (Venus 2nd House ruled) in the 9th House Stellium(Ruled by Sagittarius and Jupiter which is very carefree). Virgo Rising also an earth Sign. I also noticed that people are not afraid to approach me. Most of these descriptions if not all resonate to me

New subscriber over here ! love your thorough explanations and your voice is really easy to listen to, and the examples you give are amazing , colored and non- western examples in these style videos are often so hard to find ! thank you !

So happy to see you back in action! A suggestion--put something on your website directing us here. I kept checking back in hopes you be posting again, but found your channel by accident. I would love your kibbe content, especially visuals and explanations on why some things are more flattering than others on each type.

Thank you for these extensive explanations of the essences! Also, as a person of colour mostly living in an environment with white people, it is nice to see so many examples with people of colour, as it is somewhat easier for me to compare myself to them. One small point you might want to consider is the parts in the different videos that you repeat, luke the general information. For someone like me who watches all you videos, it is not so interesting to hear the same information so many times and it is a little bit of a hassle to skip through it. You might want to consider splitting the general infornation and the essence specific information in different videos. Cheers!

This was very interesting to watch. I just went through all your videos (they are great btw). I'm a Kibbe body type soft dramatic (pretty much text book, very similar to Sofia Vergara body). But watching the essences, I think I have a mix of primarily romantic but mixed with some natural and dramatic in there.

Omg I love this content. I learnt so much and the examples were so good. I felt so seen in your personality description of naturals. But also realised although im a soft natural body type my essence is actually romantic, which was a big missing piece as I was choosing the wrong hair and make up. Erykah badu has been a style icon for me my whole life and know I know why! I'm subscribing right now and im off to watch your other vids. Your thoughts on style are so nuanced, thoughful and well researched. Thank you ❤ Will you be making any videos of colour seasons? Im a soft summer and there is very info for women of colour who are soft summers. 😊

So good, thank you!!!

Great content and framework, looking forward to your videos. Thanks

Do you have links to any of the products shown at the 14 minute mark? I’m interested in the shoes & tote bag. Thanks! Loved the video.

I’ve always felt like a soft natural but I have so much soft gamine in me too. If I’m petite curvy but with delicately broad bones and thick flesh (not soft and romantic) more athletic would I still be soft gamine? I don’t feel tall enough for soft natural lines but I’m too muscular for some of the soft gamine lines!

My actual body type embodies the flamboyant gamine, but my face showcases natural and ingenue essences. My dress style is extra petite soft natural in order to balance all of this, so my personal aesthetics are farmcore coquette, buckle bunny, farmer's daughter, and nature/prairie girl. There's a touch of morute and trailer park princess...but I keep it conservative. So that's what happens when mixing natural + ingenue + gamine. I like figuring myself out. You could make videos about essence hybrids. Many people love variety and combos. Well, I do, lol.

Not the "hobo" aesthetic 😂😂😂
