I can see you have a draft article about Kibbe body types. Fair warning. What would you like me to do with it? For example:
- Edit or improve the writing
- Fix formatting or structure
- Add or remove sections
- Convert it to a different format
- Something else
Let me know what you need.
Editor’s Note
Eight years of curating these examples and the question I still get most in the comments surprises me every time: not “which type am I?” but “why does my type feel so wrong?” And honestly, that tells me more about how we’ve collectively received this system than any photo comparison ever could. Celebrity examples are a useful entry point, but they’ve also quietly trained us to treat Kibbe like a diagnostic checklist rather than a living framework — one that Kibbe himself continues to refine. The celebrities you see pinned to each type today weren’t always there, and some have shifted. Which makes me genuinely curious: if your understanding of your own type changed after seeing a specific example, what was it about that image that finally clicked?
Okay so I’ve been trying to figure out my type for *months* and this finally clicked something for me — I think I’ve been confusing Soft Natural with Soft Classic this whole time?? I’m in Brooklyn and my friend who works in fashion kept telling me I was reading my bone structure wrong. The celebrity comparisons really helped. My concrete plan: I’m going back through my closet this weekend and pulling anything with sharp angles to donate. Also — do Soft Classics generally struggle with structured blazers or is that just me lol.
