Editor’s Note
Eight years of watching this community debate essence versus body type, and the pattern I keep seeing in the comments surprises me every time: readers who nail their Kibbe type almost immediately will spend *months* second-guessing their essence, and I think it’s because essence asks something genuinely harder of us — not “what shape am I?” but “what energy do I project?” That discomfort is doing something useful, though. The women who sit with the uncertainty longest tend to arrive at answers that actually hold up in their wardrobes, rather than collapsing the first time they wear something technically “correct” that still feels wrong on them. Which makes me curious: when you finally felt confident in your essence, was it a rational conclusion or something closer to recognition?
Okay so I’ve been confusing these two quizzes for MONTHS and finally this clicked for me. I’m in Minneapolis and literally just took both back to back last weekend trying to figure out why my results felt “off” — turns out I was applying body type logic to essence and wondering why nothing made sense. Going forward I’m going to focus on essence first before touching styling advice. One question though: can your essence shift as you age, or is it pretty fixed? Asking because I feel so diffrent at 34 than I did at 24.
