UPDATE! I'M NOW OFFERING CONSULTS AND FULL STYLE ANALYSIS REPORTS! These are not "Kibbe" style analyses, rather a completely personalized evaluation of your body yin/yang balance and essence. So I still use familiar terms such as Dramatic, Natural, Classic, Romantic, Gamine and Ingenue.....but my evaluations are 100% custom; they are not designed to assign you an archetype, rather offer you a clear outline of your unique characteristics and total balance.

Great work Elyssa
I feel like essence is something others would have to point out. It's really difficult to recognize these traits in myself.
Heidi Wahlquist you can definitely ask others for their perspective on your essence. It took me a while to understand my essence because of preconceived notions I had about myself. Try having someone film you with you knowing and watch it back. Take note of how you enter the room and how you interact. Do it more than once and in different settings. This should give you some insight as well ✨
Like your rising signs! ☺️
Yes I've been pulling from memory things people have said about their first impression of me. I'm too biased!
@@amandateoh1164 Perfect marker! “How we show up in the world” is what people are typically reacting to, but I’ve noticed that we’re also open to interpretation, much like a Rorschach test. People are usually reacting to something essential in us, but they might also be projecting, which gives us quite a bit of insight into THEM. I guess it’d come down to how narcissistic someone is, and whether people are dissociated from themselves (and reality), or if they’re empathetic & intuitive.
People often seem to see what they want to see, depending on their own wants & needs.
@@MoPoppins oooo.. i like that analogy to a rorschach test! Never looked at it that way but you're so right 🤯
I would've like to see the aesthetic representation of essence for ALL the body types.
Same
🎯
Same!!
Same
Me too!
I have... A potato essence.
Tari Tangeo omg this is too funny 😂😂
And potatoes are the Gold of Mother earth
@@hotkebab3317 hell yeah they are
The delicious essence.
so.. you're a snack?
I'm a 24 yr. old soft classic and while I still feel like too much of an awkward child to be particularly elegant, I admire women who are in a rather old fashioned way. I adore paintings of late Victorian/Edwardian ladies in elegant gowns, dressed in satin with pearls and ribbon chokers. The simple, chic looks you see on Glossier and Reformation models are also really appealing to me. I only really dress up for work and church though and wear my same jeans and t-shirts from high school the rest of the time.
Totally relate! Why can't we just wear glamorous Edwardian dresses anymore? :P
everything about this screams me
This is an eye-opener... now I understand why everytime I look in the mirror before getting out the door I end up removing any accessories that (really I love but) are too girly/sweet. I always feel they don't go together with me, I absolutely don't feel confident wearing them. For me it's all about structure, clean sharp lines, geometry, muted or darker colours, rich fabrics, leather and metal accents. I'm a dramatic with a good amount of girly items in my closet which I long to wear but I'm never really able to.
É realmente frustrante gostar de algo mais não poder usar porque não te fica eu por exemplo as vezes gostaria de usar linhas dramáticas mais estou no lado oposto (ingenue)então eu tento equilibrar dramática com fofura😅 como kawaii e gótico
@@YumeraChauque ah é uma boa ideia, misturando estilos diferentes já dá para experimentar um pouco mais porque vamos ter aquele que nos favorece a equilibrar tudo 😊 e combinar estilos opostos tb dá muita graça.
Thank you for speaking quickly and being organized.
Katie Did thank you for your feedback! Since I’m so new to producing these videos it’s reassuring to get feedback like this 🤗
that is such a great comment - and accurate!
I’d love a dedicated video! I always feel like their aren’t many examples given to romantics (not theatrical romantics, just pure romantics) on how to dress in modern day. I love marylin monroe but I need some current examples of things to look for that compliment me well. Seems like clothes are not made with my body type in mind at all 🥺 everything is so straight, long, or stiff
Nicole Smith oh I get it!! It drives me nuts that the impression is that romantics have to dress like MM. This is so far from the truth and there’s so many amazing options out there for R’s. I plan on addressing this in a video for sure!
kshiftkometh I will absolutely be addressing this!!!
Elyssa I actually don’t mind the fact that our recommendations are super “sexy” or “feminine” as I totally feel very natural and confident in those styles and also get the most compliments when I stay true to that vibe... it’s just that the only examples ever given are old Hollywood (which I love) but is unhelpful when shopping in modern day stores. 😂 just like a soft dramatic is going to have a harder time finding shoulder emphasis due to the lack of shoulder pads in stores today and need a modern day work around, romantics need that too due to the fact that many shops don’t make things for petit curve dominate body types. Most clothes today are unstructured and/or long as if the ONLY women that need to wear clothes are flamboyant naturals 🙃
Orseund Iris & Sororite Vintage are great examples of modern romanticism where you can get inspiration from. Also I noticed that outside of America, for example, Japan & Korea their clothes tend to be more romantic and modern rather than sexy
Nicole Smith YEEESSSS!!! This is absolutely why I’ve been trying to make dedicated videos showing normal, everyday clothes that you can purchase today is desired. Red carpet and old Hollywood examples are fun to look at but don’t really give us a clear idea when stepping into our local Target or Macy’s.
What you said about fighting your essence really resonated with me... my partner learned about Kibbe with me a while back and he could tell my essence straight away, I was resisting it. I too wanted to be seen as elegant, when my authentic self is bubbly, sugar n spice, spunky (like you). I tried it, but even with having studied the archetype I wanted, it fell flat on me. I'm embracing my real ID now and I feel more real, and less like I'm playing a character. (Still would love a consultation when you're open again!!)
I’m a flamboyant natural and have been described as “cute and quirky”, my #1 compliment I get is that I’m cute and adorable. I like punk and alternative styles, but also cute styles. It’s interesting trying to balance punk with flamboyant natural and also cuteness
Yes please do a dedicated video!
X2 🤗
Because of the description of the dramatics that most people have on youtube people seem to dislake them or consider beeing a type of dramatic. They are discribed as masculine, not delicate and so one. But in fact there bones ar long but they are narrow so that is a delicate trade, they are very regal looking and in my opinion they look incredibal with long hair(at list half of back lenght and longer). They have an magnetic regal aura. And you can truly feel that majestic auro in all of the dramatics, and it has a very strong influence in dramatic clasic, even in the flamboyant gamines I think it has somewhat of an influence. In my opinion tou have the best description of the dramatics, very diffrent to what most people have online, but it also captures there essence more
I'm a gamine body type and I'm the total opposite of the gamine "essence". I feel like the dramatic or classic essence fits my personality best. I tend to have an almost intimidating aura to me and people always seem to listen. I'm very pragmatic and emotionally reserved. I really do not fit the gamine stereotype at all.
You can be a gamine body type with a classic or dramatic essence. Essence and body type are not really the same
Yes please do a detailed essence series! Awesome content.
OMG I personally am a soft classic and I absolutely hate a lot of "fast fashion" and trendy things. Some of my friends always tried to make me look like a fashionnova model and couldn't understand why I hated those looks. Lol
Hi elyssa! What I find so interesting about the kibbe series is that we really have no idea wha goes on in another persons head or what it “feels like to be them”… as a classic I had no idea until I came across your video that there are people who struggle to look more formal. I simply never thought about and apparently took it for granted. I was always envious of the gamine spunk and expressiveness - something I will never have.
What a great learning experience for us all!
I’m so glad I’ve found this channel. I remember researching kibbe body types two years ago, and not finding any content that I liked and went into depth. You explain everything so well! I just had to smash that SUBSCRIBE and LIKE button!
Thank you for being articulate in Kibbe's text and theory. Glad I found this channel xx
I am so happy you are back with a new video 😊 and I am so excited about this topic🤗 I hope you will do a series for each archetype essence . love your videos💜💕
I'd love to see a video identifying which body types old Hollywood starlets had (Bettie Page, Jayne Mansfield, etc.).
I've been waiting for someone to do a video on kibbe essences!!! Thank you so much ♡
Oh my god , I’m such a SOFT NATURAL ! Fresh & sensual ...creativity....warmth... sensitivity... aggressive pragmatism (so accurate!)
Yes please make a dedicated video for each type!
Wow!! This is my first time learning of this concept and I stumbled upon your video by accident. Thank you so much for creating this! I look forward to honing in on my style more and cutting down my closet!
love your explanation!! I’m a soft classic and I totally relate to what was said of my essence, and I really like looking sophisticated but still looking sexy which I feel like is something that people also notice about me so I try to incorporate that into my style too.
I am a soft classic and although I appreciate a streetwear style, I always feel drawn to more modest aspect of it and I add more 'classic' elements to every outfit. After watching this video, I believe that it might be cause by my natural essance, which is a very intresting fenomenon.
love your videos on Kibbe, they are so fantastic and deeply insightful. Keep up the great work!
SG here. I’m so happy to see this video! I’ve been enjoying your style lately! It truly fits you well!
I have been watching your videos one after another for the past hr or so and I just had to say how wonderful they are! So informative and your voice, diction and articulation is brilliant. Thank you for doing these videos. I feel as though I have a whole new perspective on personal style (which is pretty amazing considering I'm 65 - have been dressing myself for many years obviously - and I love style - I sew my own clothes) I'm tall (5'8") which would incline one (me incl) to see me as a natural or classic but my soft tissue defies that (I'm not overweight but my bust is 36FF while my legs are very long) I believe I'm more Yin than Yang (which is also reflected in my essence) and my reflection has led me to ponder (with some chagrin) that I haven't been dressing myself the best I could be.
I am all over the place...I am dramatic (not body type wise lol), I am awkward and shy in public, I have some perfectionistic tendencies, I always wanted to come off as either regal or feminine but I probably just come off as awkward and weird lol
Same!
haha same lol
I really liked how you explained the aesthetic because I fit on the “classic” (more towards dramatic classic ) body type and I love wearing patterns but it states it makes too much sound for my body type...
Oooh this is why I get told I have a graceful and elegant, (and my mom has always told me) regal aura. I'm naturally warm and friendly but people usually think I'm hard to approach, so I'll put myself out there anyway, and then people won't even know why they hesitated to make the first move to get to know me. Additionally, I do value logic, balance, and practicality and I'm a soft/pure natural (I believe), so I know the regal essence with it's extravagance wouldn't necessarily suit my tastes or my body type so much. In contrast, I do love minimalist, chic, and especially modest styles, as I've seen they not only suit me best, but they also stay true to my personality; I belive the more graceful and elegant essences can really shine through in them as well. Anyway, since discovering the kibbe body type system, I stumbled upon your channel and absolutely love how organized and eloquent you are with your videos. I never thought fashion can be this fun, and I can't wait to slowly build a wardrobe that actually does the real me justice, for satisfaction of my aesthetic, essence and characteristic needs.
I'm so thankful for your videos on a spiritual level. ❤️
Such a fascinating topic! Loved this, thank you 💕 Our own essence is such a difficult thing to see objectively. Xx
Whoa thank you for this! My body type is definitely contasting of my essence and that makes so much more sense now!
This was fascinating and easiest to understand explanation of essence I’ve seen 🙏🏻
I enjoyed your articulated and coherent explanation. I found it easy to follow. I also appreciate the quality of the audio and video - those really make or break the viewing experience. Therefore I subscribed :) I took the kibbe test a while ago and have come to the conclusion that I am either a classic or a soft classic. I don't know if I see myself in the essence associated with my type though.. at least not a 100% . I'm looking forward to learning more about this and watching your videos! Thank you!
EXCELLENT video. Very informative. I was taking notes like crazy. I’ve definitely been told I look sophisticated and poised. I am a Classic, so the essence makes sense. But I love beatnik style and/or dressing like a scholarly art historian. But I now see I can be a Classic and still have my own aesthetic. Whoopie!!!!
Thanks for explaining this! And you have such a calming and beautiful voice!
I like mixing up dramatic, youthful, and classic. I feel that my look/essence draws from all those types.
You are back!!!! I was wondering. happy happy!
Adele_Loves Coffee 🙈🥰🤗😘
I relate with grunge aesthetic so much. Right from childhood i have been given used clothes by my mom from brother and cousins. Bcz new clothes would go to waste when i grow up. I also started liking looser fitted, boyish clothes on me bcz they were comfortable n looked great on me as well. And now I naturally like to buy these clothes if i ever need it.
Finding your own essence calls for a good self awareness.
Another extremely well-articulated video, I feel I have learned so much by watching just a few pieces of your content. I would also like to perhaps slightly challenge when you mention that you don't feel you can ever exude a graceful aura/essence? That shocked me, as this is exactly what I perceived of your nature by watching your videos, listening to your voice and watching your head and hand movements especially. To me you come across as very refined, and with a natural, slightly 'softened' grace - as though this is your natural state and not something into which you need to put much effort (unlike somebody who would be described as 'putting on graces and airs'). You have a very calming presence about you, and I would have assumed you were a dancer in a very classic or traditional style like ballet or ballroom - and/or that you participate in other areas of 'art culture' like gallery curation, literature or something else. Xx
Yes please do make separate videos on each essence! 😍😍😍
I just love your videos! your voice is so soothing!
Wow. I know it's a generalization, but I'm a Theatrical Romantic and my essence description seems to have collected most phrases I ever considered as best compliments. It's like... I always felt that way, always wanted to be that way and that's how I'm often being perceived by others👍
Great video and great point regard the subject! Would love some more content on this topic, I've kind of been missing it on other Kibbe related channels :) Looking forward to furure videos :)
Oh wow! I was feeling very skeptical as I am definitely a romantic, but haven't really felt that drawn to the way romantic style is depicted and expected that the romantic essence wouldn't really resonate with me either. But it definitely did! My type feels a little more authentic to me now.
I worked at a bar years ago, and it was dead for hours. I decided to sit down and paint my nails . I was lost in my own world, and when I finished an looked up, my 1 customer was there sitting there, waiting for a new beer. I walked up to him, appologising profusely for ignoring him, and he just smiled and said "that right there is your most accurate, genuine nature!" I wasn't sure if I should be offended, but he didn't say it in a mean way. People often point out these things about me that they say most represents me, and I'm like "should I be offended by this?" LOL
I definitely struggle with this. I'm a soft classic with baby face and I always feel like things look wrong on me, so I stick to wearing all black leggings shirts and cardigans lol
I'm exactly the same.😄
I just realized that I'm actually a Flamboyant Gamine. For real this time. I guess I was so confused because I could relate to the soft dramatic essence, flamboyant natural essence, dramatic classic essence, theatrical romantic essence as well as flamboyant gamine. In any case, I knew my body was definitely on the yang side.
Love your channel, would love to see all the archetypes and how they could express different aesthetics.
Interesting you wanted to be seen as elegant/sophisticated, I am a theatrical romantic who has always been told I look very elegant, but I love street style and would love to be seen as spunky. Can’t win haha
Arose grass is always greener....😆
I'm soft dramatic and I've loved streetwear for years. I skate and I'm a sneakerhead so I've been trying to force the tomboy look for a while now. I know it hides my figure but I feel so bad ass in it! I get wayy more compliments when I dress for my shape though. Inherently I'm elegant, classy, feminine and 'sexy'.
simply.s YEEESSSSS!!!! And there’s still little ways for you to add in that tomboy flare without completely folding on accommodating your lines and shapes! It’s all about honoring yourself and bringing balance! ✨
@@elyssa_aesthetic I still haven't figured out how to dress streetwear for an hourglass figure yet! looks amazing on slender women like aleali may and aaliyah
simply.s hmmm sounds like a good video for me to add to the list!!
I have a hard time perceiving myself! Everyone always says they were intimidated by me at first but once they know me I am very bubbly, fun and nice. I never understood why I come off as intimidating as I don’t think of myself this way.
Videos dedicated to specific essences would be very interesting!
Your channel is very interesting, please keep it up! Thanks for the information.
10:56 what a coincidence, this girl is from my hometown in Brazil.
Loved the video!
Great video, thnk you!
Thank you - really interesting content - would love it if you could produce videos with detail for each essence type.
yes a dedicated vid for all archetypes!!
This is incredible. I have a lot of internalized hatred for being extremely yin because when i grew up the beauty ideal was skinny jeans emo girls and all of that. Everything sporty and futuristic feels really off naturally for me as a romantic....
Great idea for video!
ΑΜΑΛΙΑ ΓΑΖΗ thank you ✨
I have a friend who has that bubbly outgoing loud aura to her and she is the most reserved person i know it's quite unsettling
" Soft dramatics are described as intimidating and sexy "
Me a shy softie : .... Oh well
Just found you and this is really interesting. No idea what I am . It struck a chord when you said you wanted to be elegant but it never worked. I'm always drawn to the boho hippy chick look but end up being a kind of smarter version of it x
Great video! (although I missed ethereal and ingenue!) (I'll wait for them!!!).
And now I'm anxious for the dedicated videos! 😂😂😂
Letícia Santana yes! I’m going to be covering etherial and ingenue in a dedicated video 😉
It's so funny because I always feel that i am in between the classic and the gamine type. Now i understand why : I have an FG's essence mostly and some essence from the classic's categories. Thank you for this video I can understand more about myself.
I'm a DC and it was pretty accurate
Can you please make videos for the different archetypes? That would be amazing!
I feel like essence is the same thing as rising/ascendent in one’s birth chart.
Valid point..I cant tell if I am a soft gamine or soft natural. ...I naturally am drawn to ethereal and soft bohemian styles...im a taurean rising (and a pisces sun)
Chantel Wensley I don’t know either, the styles that I like look awkward or bad on me (not sure if it’s body dysmorphia but I don’t like how I look in most things). I have a Cancer rising.
@@user-eo2th2lf6f I agree. Definitely dont feel like k can look good in anything. I wonder if you are a romantic !?-- a cancer rising would give you a soft feminine quality, with curves!
Chantel Wensley I I wouldn’t say I am a romantic or dramatic. I believe I am somewhere in the middle
More yin face and mixed body I think
I've never heard of this before. Interesting.
Im SG and i always relate most to Theatrical Romantic including this video 🤷♀️
I had never made a distinction between aesthetic and essence. Interesting.
Essence leads you to aesthetic ✨
My body type is Soft Dramatic but going off how people describe me as a person, my essence is mainly Natural/Flamboyant Natural. Interesting =)
It would be interesting to see a video on the best combination of aesthetics? Which best compliment each other.
It's crazy how much the description of my essence vibed with me. I even heard others say in my absence that i have a warm aura. As well as my body type (soft natural) goes along with my street style asthetic. Somehow thats kinda creepy lol.
I love your videos so much - how you structure your content is so helpful.
If you dont mind I would give a short description of myself. I would love to hear your thoughts on that (If you dont have that much time, it would be awesome if you just read the aspects below "Essence")
Essence:
I always felt off. People told and still tell me that I look dainty, small and feminine with a warm aura. They say I am a quick thinker, reasonable and logical but at the same time chaotic, funny and strong. I dont feel small and dainty at all. I feel much bigger than I am, I feel wide and kind of manly. I was very happy when I was told I had a warm aura. But I know that I can come off very cold and authoritative.
Bodytyping:
till this day I still didn't really find my type. I thought multiple times that I got it (Flamboyant Gamine, Gamine, Soft Natural, Classic, Soft Dramatic... atm I'm learning about Soft Classic, Soft Gamine and Theatrical Romantic). For now I isolated the lines and my findings for clothes that look good on me are:
- small, crisp details near the face, lightly contrasted collars, high tailored or slightly loser nicklines can work on me
- sharply defined shoulders are quite important
- rolled up sleeves (creates a little draping)
- waist emphasizing (my torso is small and tapered, but I have a bit of a prominent bustline)
- I think high waisted works well on me, but my waist is very high, so I need extremly high waisted pieces to not look like a potato. I also can get away with straight cuts.
- my hips are slightly wider than my shoulders, they are not rounded, they are straight but getting wider from top to bottom. That's why I feel like very fitted pants work on me but also pants which are a little poofy around the hips.
- I sadly can not pull of messy hair that well.
- all horizontal stripes and color blocking also do not work on me that well
Please tell me, what I am! :D I am really lost!
Thank you so much!
funkuchen2 so I’d prefer to see visual references or even get to experience your essence and physical appearance for myself in person or via Skype before settling on a type or giving any suggestions whatsoever. But since you took the time to write all that out....solely based on your description I’d say you’re likely in the gamine family. I’d also add that color blocking doesn’t have to be eccentric, rather just a means of breaking your vertical line. The way you describe your essence is so extreme yin/yang which is hallmark of the G family. As well as how the use of high collars compliment you and your “petite” frame. Something to keep in mind is that gamines (particularly SG) can *feel* bigger or more wide than what we actually are. Just some food for thought.
Amazing
Please do some more in-depth essence videos . Especially on all the Gamine types
Why is it that I get sleepy when the voice is great and calming?
I’d love a dedicated video!
My essence is warm and friendly with sex appeal. I always used to dress bold when I was young and I still tend to want to mix in some boldness now - I’m a kibbe soft natural but since I have a lot of romantic and a bold coloring naturally - I would say I’m a combo of romantic/natural/dramatic.
Even after watching Aly Art and Merriam Style, I still have no idea. I think I’m a flamboyant natural but I am definitely not approachable. I’ve been told that I’m intimidating but at the same time, very sensual and sexual even though I’m not ever trying to be. Does that make me soft dramatic? Someone likened me to Sophia Loren but I’ve read Kibbe’s work and my flesh doesn’t gather where it’s supposed to...I keep most of my weight up top-big chest and fleshy arms. I’m all mixed up.
Melissa Boyce Melissa Boyce so try to think of these traits on a spectrum rather than try to type yourself based on them. Ultimately, your Kibbe type is based on the lines and shapes that look best on you. Getting to know your essence is what will help you embrace your bold sensual nature. Now it is possible that you’ve mistyped yourself and are SD rather than FN.....but don’t let some of these essence descriptions get you twisted around if you’ve concluded that FN are the ones that be compliment your frame and shape.
It’s also worth mentioning that SD can have the T silhouette that you describe having yourself. Keep in mind that not all SD (or any archetype for that matter) will necessarily look like the celebrity examples. We see varying physical traits even with the celebrity examples.
I’d also like to address the difference between FN and SD. FN will have *little to no curve* to accommodate and will need to accommodate their vertical line. SD *will* have curve to accommodate and will also accommodate their vertical line.
Elyssa Wow, thanks! That makes a lot of sense! I really appreciate you taking the time to give me the information and I’m digesting it. 🙏😊
Its harder to notice your own essence than others, I want to do a survey on people I know to find out how they see me haha. It would be great if everyone could do that thing some stand up comedians do where they pay to go on a stage and the audience write down everything they think about them without censoring anything. You get a honest look of how people see you - pretty scary but very useful.
There’s plenty of online forums to get feedback from too
So, i am soft dramatic but my personality is quite different from that essense. Due to my personality, if i try to dress sexy i still come accross as cute or classy. People say i often look very graceful too, perhaps due to me growing up doing ballet. Whilst i realise that soft dramatic style makes me look amazing I am not sure it always fits my personality
Love the thumbnail💕💕
i would say my body type checks most of the boxes for dramatic classic. However, my essence fits the description for soft dramatic. People's description of me would be elegant, sophisticated. I would even get told that I walked sophisticatedly or I walked like a feather and I carried myself like a princess. Althought I feel very confident that my body is dramatic classic, I dont think it's essence suites me as I have also been described as very feminine, delicate, and innocent. I feel flattered by the descriptions but I lokve experimenting and I am slightly dissapointed to realize that's why I would get told I looked sloppy or ridiculous whenever I would branch to baggy, edgy, quirky looks.
Funny honestly. I’ve always found myself too boring or plain, in personality and body. Feeling like I had to be entertaining, energetic, and fun. With my looks I always felt I needed to add something maybe plastic surgery, piercings, tattoos, working out to change my body, etc. Turns out I’m a soft classic. The looks match my personality and suit my body yet I still wonder about plainness despite feeling the best I ever had in my lines. Checking out essence since classic lines are rigid yet firm and allow creativity. Fashion is really helping with my self discovery and understanding myself
my face and personality is yin, but my aura is yang. I don’t and can’t even begin to type myself.
When i was younger i was asking for a SG essence. It was so of on me... Not because i am not playful because i am pure TR. I have this kind of spiciness!
ΑΜΑΛΙΑ ΓΑΖΗ love the spicy essence of theatrical romantics!!
Please do a vid on flamboyant natural essence and esthetics
Interesting! I'm the soft classic body but soft gambine sounds like my essence. People think I'm a soft delicate kitten, but have no idea I've got claws and are always shocked when they get to know me better. 😅
I believe I'm a SD with Ethereal mermaid essence and True summer palette
I put together Dramatic style with Natural ...that is my types of clothing but i am a flamboyant gamine..with dramatic face and more natural body. My essence is i have my “ballet” look on or my boho style on...never overdo flowiness always tight clothing with loose or tight pants and top under a kimono style or loose long cardican.
would you say something about Olga Brylinska's etheteal typology
I definitely have a classic essence, I was always described as “posh” by my friends despite being very middle class lol. Always wished I had more of a natural essence though, as I’m young (19) it feels hard to dress sophisticated when I’m only a teen
Very interesting video indeed.
I have a very easy time looking elegant and sophisticated yet sexy. When I put on a pencil skirt and a blouse, I look like the sexy but also competent secretary stereotype by default.
And although I like playing with more glamorous and sexy looks, I, unfortunately, mostly like a more androgynous clothing style. Because of that I hated shopping for clothes for while because I couldn't find anything that I liked and that suited me. Luckily, I eventually found a compromise between what I liked and what suits me.
Where's my introverted, sloth, sleepy, dreamy, thinky, geeky, genderless, ageless, essence ?
Ethereal?
Not sure, but I think we share an essence!
This is a basically me, though
Liberal essence
Sounds ethereal to me :)
Would love a more comprehensive archetype essence for classic/ dramatic classic
Honestly, calling it essence seems inauthentic to what it really is... A projection onto oneself made by others based on stereotypes of how one physically looks, due to body geometry. Essence makes it sound like it's an interior quality emanating from one's soul or spirit. If you look at someone like Jason Momoa who appears to be some sort of natural or soft dramatic physically, but when you observe his behaviour and personality he's all about playfulness, which is typically assigned to Garmin.
