- Here I discuss what you should do if you COMPLETELY don't know your Kibbe body type!
Now, if you at least know which of the five you belong to (natural, dramatic, gamine, classic, or romantic), you should wear those lines.
This is for the people who don't know at ALL what their type is (gamine or romantic? soft dramatic or theatrical romantic??).

i found this really funny i needed to share
and yang lines to gang lines
Very good points made here, thank you. It is no wonder a classic basic wardrobe is often recommended for the general public, and I agree it is a safe place to start. Then you could try out a few accessories or personality pieces in your expected lines and see how you feel in them before making a huge investment.
Clothing recomendations for each type would be amazing!
Oh my gosh this is so great, ‘cause I’m so confused, but I still should probably wear clothes when I leave the house.
maybe knowledge of the kibbe body type system (especially the yin and yang energy manifesting in the body) could really help trans/ body dismorphic people see themselves in a different way
Silence Dogood i’m gonna show this to my partner
Very interesting. I'm a flamboyant natural that hates boho. Lol
great video. could you make a video about most confused types in ur experience and common typing mistakes?
Maybe I'll do a Q+A and answer that. :) I think it's any kind of classic--people often distort their own proportions in their minds--for example, they might think some random part of their face is too sharp or too soft (sharper or softer than it actually is) because of insecurities.
Rats. I've been torn between soft classic and soft gamine. I tend to wear classic lines because I feel like they look okay on me. But now I realize that was just because it was a safe option. No wonder I can't decide.
This was so helpful! I love the clothing examples, I have a hard time deciphering what type certain clothes are but this helps so much
Yay that's great! Maybe I'll do a video on 'guess which type of clothing this is'. But I also plan to do videos for each body type and the clothing recommendations!
Thank you! I appreciate all the work you put into sharing this knowledge!!
😂
Shows utterly beautiful woman
"She looks ok"
I actually really enjoyed this! I think I’m either a fg, a fn or a dc. But I tend to stick with my classic lines because that’s easy jeans and tshirt are my go-to look anyway so what’s even the point sometimes? I would love tips on how to see yourself more objectively though...
try to turn your photo upside down or maybe if you can trace a photo of yourself with a pencil or on a computer try that to see the lines!
Wow, your knowledge is on point! A new subscriber here. I suspect to be romantic type, not sure, the romantic type of dress on Drew Berrymore definitely compliments me. Know I understand why classic style doesn't look that good on me! I plan to send you an e mail to confirm or deny my theory. Thank you for your videos!
Hi Valentina, thank you! I'm now offering style reports through my website: merriamstyle.com/style_report.html
I think keira knightley is a dramatic classic.. she do have long and sharp elements in her face and body, but her eyes are round and big and her body is pretty symetric and proportional. that's why she looks really good in classic clothes..
All bodies are symmetrical and proportional within themselves, but her lines are sharp, and her eyes are almond shaped (answer A), so she is dramatic all the way! If you compare Olivia Munn (a dramatic classic, potentially with lip injections that may throw us off but not sure), you'll see the difference between how Olivia's drama is not as extreme as Keira's (pay attention to Olivia's cheekbones and how Keira's are sharper, and also Olivia's nose is a bit sharp, but not as sharp as Keira's)!
You really do "get it"!
Great video! Very helpful. That was a lot of work so thank you!
Can't understand whether I'm some sort of romantic or some sort of classic. More yin leaning though.
Brilliant! I can see that I can pull off classic lines and that is not my best looks.
I was very confused at first what type I am since my answers didn't match anything. Even though I'm sure I'm gamine I don't care about that I think it's easy to see what compliments you if you just look at your body without typing it. For example if your are tall wear long things and short shorter things, if you are narrow wear fitted clothing, if you have curves wear drapery fabric just copy whatever you've got. That extends to hair to. I've been told for years I look best in bob length hair and now that I've realised it I'm still planning on having long hair but I keep in mind the proportions. My body's very narrow so if I have wild full hair its too much so now I try to wear it in a style even just tucking it behind my ears. I can't wear very long things because I'm small but if I want to it has to be really tight and then I look amazing. Just try not to go against your features, work with them. And remember these are just guidelines on what you look best in, not a rulebook. If you love a certain look keep on wearing it but if you're worried make sure to keep the look going throughout your body to makeup hair shoes accessories etc so it all comes together.
you're right but this technology is for people who aren't happy with what they wear and have no clue what looks good on them.
this was really helpful because i was confused that i found a lot of my friends who are obviously not classics looked fantastic in classic lines
now it all makes sense :')
also i would love to see what happens if for example a classic wears some natural lines, because i think it can look good?
would love to hear someone else's opinion on that
especially dramatic classic
Thank to you I realized I am soft dramatic, bit dress mostly classic!
Saree is a type of cloth which compliments all body types.....never goes out of fashion....don't require any alterations....can be worn in many styles.
A2Z with Miss Nag even within a Saree you can choose different fabrics depending on your body type
@@aditisiddharth6472 yes! I do that
For me Keyra is just gorgeous with this dress... Why we must to follow all this rulez, instead of using what we like ad make us happy?
yes of course, always wear what makes you feel beautiful first and foremost!
Thank you for such great video. I get 7E, 4C, 3D, 2A,1B - sounds a bit like theatrical romantic but my legs are super fleshy so I look more like romantic. My biggest problem is to find an example that fit my age-type (I know Marilyn Monroe and Beyonce are 2 fav e.g for romantic but I'm 17 and my height is 4"9.5, doesn't sound like a match). Can you give me some advices/suggestions?
Hi Merriam could you pls speak closer to the mic or louder ? I find with your channel I need everything on 100 and still straining to hear. Thanks!
Hi thanks for the vids. I like your soft confident voice too. Could you please increase your recording volume so I can hear you better. I'm cranked to top volume and squinting to hear. Thanks again
... yeah, this is great; I'll just get classic clothes and be done with this system. :) Thanks!
Classic style doesn't look good on natural in my opinion
Oh, sure. But at the same time, if a natural would wear romantic or gamine, that would look worse than classic. I was saying if you don't know your type whatsoever, overall, for any type, if I were to give one recommendation, I would say classic is the type of clothing that all types can wear if I had to choose only one (so if someone doesn't know their type at all). But then again, a romantic would look ok in gamine clothing, a natural would look ok in dramatic clothing, a dramatic would look ok in natural clothing....etc. But if you're at that point, and you know your main type, then you don't really have a huge problem!!
so, u mean everyone looks okay with classic clothes?
Yeah exactly!
5:39 Flamboyant Gamine
Great tips--thanks you!
I have equal answers for A, D, and E (five for each) so I can’t figure out if that makes me soft gamine or theatrical romantic 🤔
Honestly, I am struggling to see a difference :( I think these ladies look great in every outfit - they were just dated for the time. The girl at 8:07 should have just had that dress shortened for her height - the hem hit her at the calf - which is super unflattering on every type.
Great job just found you and subscribed straight away , looking forward to more videos.
yay welcome!
What body type is ariana grande ?
I just found this, I’m so so confused. 😕
Can you do neck type for body types
My problem is that in the Kibbe test I have mostly D's and one or two less C's, I that would almost make me a theatrical romantic but to be a TR I need to have some A's and I literally have NO A's, also I could be a soft classic but I would need more C's than D's so I'm going nuts T.T
No you're TR
Another really informative video. Thank you.
This was really helpful :)
:D
Wondering what role you think personal style plays in this. I know for Keira Knightley for example, her stylist is Leith Clarke, founder of Lula Magazine and Violet Grey, and basically the creator of that girly, gamine style the Keira usually rocks. These days K prefers more covered, feminine styles, that according to Kibbe, don't suit her body/face type. But she's more comfortable and feels more herself in them, so wouldn't she look better in those than in dramatic looks that aren't "her"?
If face is different from body type, what should one dress for? Face or body?
Face in my opinion - I think people should always dress for their face not their body
Dress your bodytype and style your face imo
@@Delphi333 wrong :)
Body, as a rule
I’m a short version of Beyoncé in my body type.
7:40 Soft Gamine.
I still don't know if I am a theatrical natural or a soft dramatic😔 great info though!!!
I’m quit confused. My face is different from my body. What could it?
You need to dress for your face.
AdaWilkyVlogs Thank you, Ada. I’m trying to make both of them in balance. I have some combination of C/B/A in my body.
I dunno if this is still revelant but I have a yin face and a more Yang body. I try to wear the lines of shapes of clothing as my body and the patterns on it more yin and the same with hair, longer lines with soft waves or face framing pieces, accessories etc. Then my makeup looks best with my face makeup being very soft (no contouring just soft blush and highlights and sharper eyeliner.
You need to go with your body (NOT face) type. Merriam has a video on exactly this!
You don’t take into consideration that most of the „wrong“ dresses are also not the right color for these ladies. I strongly believe that your skin tone is either warm or cold and therefore warm colors look bad on someone with a cold skin tone.
8:59 Are you sure its Tyra on the right? Doesnt look like her o_o
I thought the same
Im sorry but you made a mistake with julia roberts, the middle picture is from pretty women, and that dress looked amazing on her! Is such an iconic look from the movie!
Both dresses were from Pretty Woman - the black was when she first dresses up to meet Richard Gere at the bar - and imho she looked amazing in both looks!
The dress was somewhat wrong in that she was being made over, Pygmalion-like, into someone she was not.
Being a classic sucks bro! Everything is just average :/
Following from your and Aly Art video, I joined Strictly Kibbe and Kibbe SN of FB. I actually left the latter now officially as after I shared this video (which I think is helpful) I was told to delete it as Kibbe is not an objective body typology. Some bitches be crazy. Did you know you are so widely unpopular because of your opinions? I think its ridiculous. In your experience do people turn fanatical based on body typology? I was shocked.
I'm pretty shocked too! I'm not sure why they were offended by the video--I think it's super nice. :/ What opinions do you think people disagree with the most? It's strange I thought it was my color analysis videos that would really get a lot of opposition, but not my Kibbe videos. I never claim it's an objective system this is all art at the end of the day. So strange.
I wrote that is about lines and geometrics of your angles. They said saying that is is a body typology system is a mistake but about abstract principles.("QUOTE: Kibbe system is not about body type, Type and body typing relies on matching and that is not what Kibbes does. If he did Salma Hayek and Jada Smith would never be the same type yet they are. You do not find your ID by using the quiz and dissecting body parts." Then said have said that your videos is on some sort of list of forbidden/diaproved videos (????) that are wrong. Main reasons: because Charlize T and you are supposed to find how you feel about your clothes for self discovery is now officially an FN, and told me I have to delete it. There was a lot abput height, ex. if you are above 160 cm you cannot be a gamine because ur vertical ine is tooo large etc. Do you have like an FB? Then they posted ur youtube answers to people asking questions as outrageous and said also Aly Art got everything worng. I was shockoooocked. Honestly, your videos are the so informative. I wonder whether there might be some sensitivity ( culturally?) about callibg is a typology ( which it is....) which I have unknowingly tapped into. After writing all this I realised I posted this under the wrong video ( it was supposse dto be under Why you cannot part Kibbe body type).
