Yang bone structure- but in your case, it’s more long and fine eg height, long lines in your limbs, high forehead, long neck, very defined cheekbones, crisply moulded eye sockets, feline eye tilt at some angles. These are all sharp Yang traits. Also extreme hair texture is a Yang trait if I recall (either v thick, curly or straight and fine), as is high contrast colouring (fair skin, dark hair).<br /> Yin aspects - curves and roundness in your face that’s going to fight anything too linear (and would clash w straight D IMO). So mouth, eye shape, cheek all have a lot of rounding.<br /> I don’t see much blunt Yang- often when we self assess we think we are wider than we are!<br /> I also reckon your vibe is more Jacqueline de Ribes and Rachael Weisz than you realise.<br /> It’s not uncommon to look at dramatic styles and think ‘Too hard, and I will spend the rest of my life overdressed, and wearing uncomfortable shoes!’ I found the biggest benefit it gave me (I’m a D) was a start place for experimenting. Then I adjusted so it felt like me, and I could walk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/identity-crisis-kibbe-type#post-2294124 Sat, 03 Dec 2022 21:49:42 +0000 MsMaven 2294124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't gone back to look at the types yet, but I was immediately struck by the high contrast between your hair and skin, as well as what I consider the more dramatic shape of your body in the first photo. Slender body, broader shoulders.&nbsp;</p> <p>In the end, it comes down to which styles and colors feel more comfortable for you to wear, as well as your lifestyle and activities. I don't know how much height has to do with it. I have a niece who is 6' tall, very dramatic looking, but she's an MD and keeps it toned down.&nbsp;<div><br />I must say, this is a fun dilemma to have.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/identity-crisis-kibbe-type#post-2294097 Sat, 03 Dec 2022 18:20:22 +0000 funnyflowers 2294097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>It appears it's not possible to reply to people directly on this website, so here goes -</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you Suz, Chiara, and Rachylou for your comments. It has been so much fun to explore these different Kibbes identities. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>But I have a question. It seems that soft natural and soft dramatic are really quite similar. When I take the Kibbes quiz online, I always get the soft natural result. Is there anything from the photos above that suggest soft dramatic RATHER than soft natural?</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks once again. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/identity-crisis-kibbe-type#post-2293995 Sat, 03 Dec 2022 02:09:07 +0000 rachylou 2293995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I third Ms Maven… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/identity-crisis-kibbe-type#post-2293922 Fri, 02 Dec 2022 21:19:56 +0000 Chiara 2293922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ll second Mrs Maven- soft dramatic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/identity-crisis-kibbe-type#post-2293917 Fri, 02 Dec 2022 20:44:15 +0000 Suz 2293917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or maybe theatrical romantic? I'd have to check the categories again, but that sounds more likely than soft natural.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/identity-crisis-kibbe-type#post-2293913 Fri, 02 Dec 2022 20:17:30 +0000 funnyflowers 2293913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi. Ms. Maven, I am trying to reply directly to your comment and hope I have succeeded. Thanks for your feedback. Your suggestion is exciting. I had always thought I was a soft natural, but recently have questioning my assumption. Off to learn about soft dramatic lines and experiment! Thanks, lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/identity-crisis-kibbe-type#post-2293789 Fri, 02 Dec 2022 06:11:00 +0000 MsMaven 2293789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A little rusty on the Kibbe types, but my immediate reaction is that you are a soft dramatic or even a dramatic. Your coloring says dramatic, but your softer body lines say soft dramatic, especially that first photo.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now I have to go back and look at the Kibbe types to see how close I am to giving you good feedback.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/identity-crisis-kibbe-type#post-2293738 Fri, 02 Dec 2022 02:23:40 +0000 funnyflowers 2293738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Hello all!</div><div><br /></div><div>I had long thought myself a Soft Natural. Those relaxed lines seem to serve me well. However, I recently have been wondering if that is what suits me best. I posted photos on another site and people threw out all kinds of kibbe types and now I am real unsure! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>PS: I am 5.7, for reference!</div><div><br /></div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/6798/vET0r2.jpg">https://imagizer.imageshack.co.....vET0r2.jpg</a></div><div><br /></div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/6637/QBVpjC.jpg">https://imagizer.imageshack.co.....QBVpjC.jpg</a>&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/2677/wSs3yc.jpg">https://imagizer.imageshack.co.....wSs3yc.jpg</a></p> <p></div><div><br /></div></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/4043/hifppb.jpg">https://imagizer.imageshack.co.....hifppb.jpg</a></p> <p></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/1782/ama7Y6.png">https://imagizer.imageshack.co.....ama7Y6.png</a> </p>
