You Might be a Soft Classic | the soft & balanced body type
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 16. 07. 2024
- Hello stylers! Today I deep dive into the wardrobe of the Soft Classic! This is my Kibbe type so I thought it would be a good place to start. Classics are yin/yang balanced which means their features are not noticeably soft nor sharp. Soft Classics have a Romantic undercurrent so they lean slightly on the softer side of moderation. Welcome to the Goldilock's porridge of Kibbe types.
This video is perfect if you want to understand the body types in more depth and know how to dress for each one. In this video I show you some outfit examples which would be perfect for a Soft Classic.

I think its great to finally have a youtuber who is a soft classic, too. Because I feel most of the others kinda leave us out. Convinient, that you also have an ingenue essence as i do. Looking forward to more content :)
Thank you so much!!! Iâm so glad this resonated with you â„ïž
Same girls! I knew sooo many of these things about myself. but I only now understand why I liked what I liked, and looked how I looked in my past. Eye opener for sure đđđ
Omg same!
Me toođ
Ehh, I think she's an obvious SG
Youâve explained why when younger I could easily change my look, even now, I can look completely different depending on what Iâm wearing and hair style.
Yes this is exactly it - we classics are such chameleons!
The word that always comes to mind when i see a classic body type is graceful. "Balanced" might sound boring to some people but grace is (in my humble opinion) something so desirable and beautiful
Could you do an updated Soft Classic video? I know a year isn't that long ago, but I feel like I've watched you grow and learn so much and I feel like you could have more to say and add about this, especially since this is your own type. I'm a soft classic too, so I'd really appreciate it! Just an idea, no pressure of course đ
I'm a very classic. I'm soft classic and there is no pure classic anymore but I also have a classic essence. People always say I look studious, smart, elite, elegant, etc. I have a hard time experimenting as everything can easily look like too costumy. I hope to see more classics on youtube and more info as we are bombarded with naturals
Yaaayy! Love soft classic creators and content! As someone who is overweight, I find it a little more difficult to ID my body (I often go back and forth btwn soft classic and soft natural). The things that make me lean more towards soft classic is something I notice when doing my makeup. I find it so hard to pull off a bold eye look + nude lip and/or a bold lip + minimal eye look. It always has to be the same intensity for me or else the look seems incomplete :)
Oooh dude I'm overweight too which is why I've struggled to type myself for months, but I found this video so helpful bc she pointed out what features make her NOT be another type. I found this way more helpful than going down the list of what what features you "should" have to be whatever type. I think I'm soft natural now, after assuming I'm FN for a few months but being continually unhappy with how boxy oversize tops make me look like I'm wearing a potato sack. All other features fit, wide necklines or V necks look great, long A-line skirts, wide leg fabric pants, etc. It clicked when in the video she mentioned all these features i share, but then said "the reason I'm not SN is because i lack width in my ribcage" and I was like !!!! I have width in my ribcage!!
It's so interesting how we have such a similar body shape (I'm a soft classic as well), but also I notice we gain weight the same way too. It's not only fascinating but kind of validating lol
Yes yes yes!! I am a soft classic and I also at first thought I was a theatrical romantic because my hourglass shape can be quite defined in the right clothing.
It's exciting to find comprehensive info on soft classic styles! I feel like the classic body type and essence both get neglected. You had so many thoughts I'd never considered before, including how tweaking one minor element looks more noticeable on classics. It also made me feel better about how many things have looked sloppy on me in my life no matter how hard I tried to look nice.
I completely agree!
Omg I think I just figured it out! I thought I was a theatrical romantic from the quiz too, and also because I've always been told I'm soft and delicate. I've also never considered myself to be particularly 'balanced'. In fact, when I saw the classic example as Grace Kelly I automatically disregarded it! But after your breakdown I see it now. I have very similar body shape to you. It also explains why sometimes when I wear something simple people have told me I look amazing - while I thought it was a bit plain. I also intuitively learnt to play with the contrasts and add different elements to maintain the balance, like you said, now I understand why it works. Thank you for this illuminating video!!
It's interesting how on a classic a little bit goes a long way. I enjoyed this. Thanks,
Yay Iâm so glad you enjoyed it!! That little tip blew my mind too!
Your video really showed me why I am not a soft classic, but a soft natural. Thanks.
Iâm also a soft classic ingenue! Finally found someone to cover this in depth thank you.
I'm struggling to figure out if I'm soft classic or theatrical romantic so finding a video talking about the subtle differences is so helpful
I also find it interesting too how longer A-line skirts seem to completely camouflage my frame while also being very distracting! Skirts that end mid-calf with less fabric/ a softer drape, are most flattering. I can also quickly feel frumpy in a dress without shape and boxy styles. I will be putting a complete pause to any shopping as I learn more from your channel!
Wow!! This is so helpful! Doing a closet overhaul - as i have outgrown my 20s style, now that Iâm a suburban mom in her 30s. Iâm definitely a soft classic and your tips and features call outs make so much sense!! đâ„ïž
Hello! I am a new subscriber and Iâm a few videos into your channel so far. I am just absolutely flabbergasted at how much I can completely relate to everything you are saying about being a soft classic. I am just now learning about the Kibbie body types and it seems that I am right here with you as a soft classic. I often find myself going for curvy fit jeans, easily feeling too sexy in dresses or easily lost in figure, and looking rather odd in Sharp edgy pieces and many prints. I want to inject color and interest into my style. I love that you do that! I really look forward to watching more, thank you so much for sharing!
That black dress looks like it's MADE FOR YOU! It's so gorgeous on you!
Loved this! Thank you. It's really helpful to se another soft classic choosing outfits
Thank you so much for making this video, very helpful. You just answered all my questions why certain styles donât work and why some work so well without any effort.
This was great, thank you so much. Really specific, straightforward and practical advice!
That is so great to hear! What great feedback thank you!!!! âșïžâșïž
This is the most accurate explanation and guidance for the Soft Classique type out there. Amazing job Ellie-Jean!
Iâm so glad to have found your channel. So informative âšđ„°
you have no idea how helpful this is, even for us who aren't soft classics trying to make a decision
You do have a point on C family creating an effect more easily. As a R, even with a leather jacket I still don't come off as edgy, but rather sweet/feminine. Can't wait for more content, and maybe a video like this but for Romantic. It might be me but I don't see as many videos about my type. Thanks in advance!
I've been struggling with eye bags as well, I started doing ice water facials after every hot bath and now my eye bags have gone down so much. I was shocked. I just dunk my face maybe 8 times in a bowl of ice water, hold it for 5 to 10 seconds each time. It even helps get rid of dark coloration.
hello, I have bags under my eyes and also many dark circles, I would like to ask you if it also works for bags or only dark circles?
i am in loveee with the second outfit!! itâs so pink and chic i love it, it reminds me of blair waldorf
I LOVE LOVE LOVE pink on you omg, it makes your skin look so rosy
Great video! We need more of these!
The ball gown is STUNNING đ€©
You are great at dressing yourself. Love the outfits
Great video âșïž A couple of those can be made even better for $10 of alterations đ like the short sleeve black dress, I would shorten above the knee and the knit long sleeve dress I would ask the tailor to take it in slightly in the waist so it fits you like the blue sequin one
I like you showing us lines and what you like to wear. I just got that wrap top for myself in a dark green color. More sc outfit videos please! â€
TY for this! I thought i was a soft gamine for so long, b/c I have a ton of ingenue essence, but I'm very long limbed like you. this is awesome!
I canât believe Iâm only just seeing this video⊠Iâve been on the Kibbe journey for maybe a year now and still flip flop between SN, TR and FG and Iâve realised we are almost identical. I donât know how I havenât seen it before, but you and Kirsten Dunst are SO similar to me. Iâve never strongly considered SC because of misconceptions and stereotypes, what the heck this is actually mindblowing.
Thank you so much for this!!! Has helped so much! I always go for high neck options and that is not honoring my features. I would be so interested to learn more about the essences for each body type! I think i am the same as you, however I just can't be sure right now! Still learning! And you are so helpful!
can you do more of these in depth videos for other kibbe types???
Learned I am a soft classic with romantic undercurrents, thank you đ„°
I need more casual outfit ideas especially winter wear as a not so tall person.
This is crazy I have the same body type and also very similar face and hair đđ€đ€ nice to meet you lady! Thanks for this! đ€
Thank you so much for explaining what features on you don't fit other types, 3:58 is when I figured out I must be SN! I have all the features of long limbs, curve in the hips that looks like yours and comes from the bone, head moderate, etc. But I definetely have a wide ribcage and wide shoulders!
I thought I was FN before because of the wide shoulders and being tall-ish (172cm / 5'7"), but it never seemed to quite fit because some clothing gives me rounder hips and my face is very round and soft. Also half the suggested clothing for FN made me feel bad, especially wide flowy shirts tucked in at the waist.
This was SO helpful!
i found out i am a soft classic yesterday! thanks for the video :)), i love it.
also, you look like Olivia Wilde :0
"Won't be overly voluptuous..." * Cries in plus size *
Itâs interesting because as Iâve slowly figured out my own style I have leaned towards these principles based on what I felt looked right on me. I tend to go for simple, not a lot of pattern. I usually have some waist definition and go for rounded necklines.
I just took the test today and realized Iâm a soft classic too. Itâs nice to know I was going in the right direction.
I was trying to verbalize this exact thing to my friend! Iâve concluded all of these things just as Iâve gotten older. Even to the tune of, only SOFT hats look good on me. I drown in baseball caps or any ridges hat. Thanks for your brilliant words!
You've nearly convinced me I'm a soft classic lol. My outline shape is nearly identical. I'm a bit more voluptuous but also higher weight. I am going to have to play with SC lines. I've had trouble finding my place because short narrowness is my best description I think.
Short narrowness, combined with voluptuous curves...
Sounds like you might be a theatrical romantic...
I suspect strongly that Iâm the same, soft classic! So much of what you talked about rang true, particularly about being easily overwhelmed in oversized or loose cut clothing. Iâve always said I have to be so careful of that or I easily veer into âplaying dress up in momâs clothingâ territory!
Finally a soft classic only channel đ can you please do hairstyles (everyday at home, for work and going out) for soft classics?
Omg your comment about pattern away form your face... I am literally laughing hysterically. My whole wardrobe consists of soft plain top halves and moderate length moderate patterned skirts! Now to find the perfect jeans... Wish me luck!
Iâm so torn between SC and SN especially since I think I look better in more structured clothing than unstructuredâŠbut tbh I stick with SN because I feel like itâs safer lol. Will see as I explore more though
Wow, thank you so much for making this video! I used to think I was soft classic for the longest time, but after watching your video I've realized I'm actually dramatic classic and it makes so much more sense!
That is such a great result! Yay I am so pleased for you - that's great! :)
How do you differentiate between a soft gamine and a soft classic?
After switching between sn, sg and the classic family. I finally settled with classic/soft classic (as pure classic isn't really part of kibbe anymore?) I found out symmetrical clothes with minimal details works best for me, monochromatic look also works but there should be waist emphasis, it's better if they fit not oversized or bulky, and the fabric shouldn't be too heavy or light. Since I have an ingenue essence a very corporal look also doesn't work so I have to add little bit of pretty little things so it. After so long, I can finally settle with sc, not that it's definitely my kibbe type since I didn't do an official consultation, but because it's the only thing that really works compared to other body types.
Hello! I love you kibbe content. Could you make a video about the difference between soft classic and theatrical romantics? Definitely donât see a lot of info on theatrical romantics around
Yes!! Same!! I had thought I was a theatrical romantic and I really resonate with the style advice for it, but Iâve had 2 people tell me Iâm a soft classic mixed with romantic? A comparison video would be amazing :)
Same! I thought I was theatrical romantic, but Iâm realizing Iâm probably soft classic. Now Iâm rethinking a lot of what Iâve been wearing
I was majorly obsessed with Grace Kelly when I was 13 so finding out I can dress like her with no problem is such a sweet coincidence
I, like so many others, would love a comparison between theatrical romantic and soft classic. According to the quiz Iâm a theatrical romantic but Iâm having a hard time recognising the physical difference between the soft classic and theatrical romantic. What does moderate even mean? đ
The only thing that makes me think Iâm probably a theatrical romantic is that some of what youâre wearing in this video is too heavy for my body. I look like Iâm drowning in a coat like that pink one, and the straight jeans (which look amaaazing on you!!) would look bulky on me. As does leather jackets. The soft wrap top would work quite nicely though, especially if the sleeves were a bit shorter and showed off my wrists.
I'm 100% on the same page with you! There's lots of similarities I see (especially her height and mine are the same), but straight leg jeans look so bad on me, that coat would make me look like I'm wearing my mom's coat, and leather jackets look very...bold on me. I'd personally love a soft classic v theatrical romantic v soft gamine comparison.
Same here. My body shape is slightly different, I have bonier or sharper top especially when I lose weight, but my hips are wider, There is 30cm difference between my waist and my hips. Clean sharp and unbroken lines are better suited me with minimal accessories required, yet Iâm petite. I want to say Iâm dramatic but I donât have the height, I donât believe Iâm classic because Iâm not balanced. I donât think Iâm TR because I canât wear round shape or soft fabric that often look good on TR.
@@user-xi2bf5bl4e same
yes!!
I think your video cleared up a lot of confusion for me. So I was like 80% sure I was a Soft Classic but since I'm a bit curvier and with a larger chest than the regular soft classic it was really hard to determine what my body type was. The test tends to put me as a romantic most of the times but my limbs are long so it didn't make sense. Thank you for the video. â€
Maybe you're theatrical romantic?
@@Jennifer.villezcas yeah could be, I'm not tall enough though and I think my frame overall is smaller that what I think
@@snowyfrostofficial TR are 5'5" and under đ
@@Jennifer.villezcas hahaha I was thinking of a different type đ no, then I'm too tall, like literally 5'6
I am also confused by having longer arms than a romantic, but a larger chest than a soft classic. And Iâm short enough to be a romantic, so still confusedâŠ
Loved this, but I'm now very confused. I'm going to have to take a deep dive and look at all the videos!
I found this to be one of the most helpful kibbe videos I've seen, are you going to make more for different types in the same format?
Particularly soft natural?
I am theatrical romantic and I almost always wear soft classic lines, idk I feel more calm when I wear simple soft clothes, it might not be the absolute best I can look but I am comfortable with it .
PS : you're very pretty đ„°
I'm really confused between soft classic and soft natural, but when looking at my pictures, my shoulders aren't super broad but they look a bit more open and prominent but really soft as I have the fleshiness which is pretty common for soft naturals.
Where did you get ball gown #6!? Gorgeous!!
Can you do a video on what all the kidde soft body types have in common? Thank you
9:21 omg Your outfitđ
Hi! Great video, thank you! Im a classic too and I love outfit 2,4 and 6. You said the pink coat was from zara? The rest of the outfit? And 4 and 6? Thank you!đđŒđđŒ
I got soft classic on the test and this is confirming for me that i'm most probably not actually a soft classic đ back to the drawing board where I shall continue to not be able to accurately perceive my own body
The black dress for dinner date outfit is beautiful on you! And the beret is super cute. Do you provide links for purchasing clothing?
her head is in no way small for her body...
This is so helpful, i wanted to buy a baby doll dress at first but i just really that i am soft classic so i think i should avoid that type of dresses.
What would you say are the main differences in terms of body characteristics and clothing between SN and SC? From what Iâve seen there are many overlaps between the two, like waist emphasis or flowy lines for example, and looking at photos of both IDs I just find them very similar in general. I find it so confusing D:
Love your videos, keep it up
u da besttttttt
Thank you so much!
I think you could trim the end of the pink coat to make a belt, that way you could get that waist emphasis
This might be a weird question, but do perfumes matter based off of your body type? For example, I am a soft classic with a romantic essence. Does that mean I should choose elegant and romantic perfumes, or does it not matter?
Iâm obsessed with the black dress with the slit! Where did you get it from?
i would also like to know! i love it
I love being s soft clasdic,but I Also enjoy elements of street style and natural.Can SC wear those styles too? If so please feature those as well
I am a soft classic too but I like and wear the first outfit best đ
Just discovered I'm soft classic, that explains a lot
I have done the test several times and had people give their opinion (like my family). I got mostly Câs in the bone structure part of the test but D & E dominant answers in the other 2 parts of the test. I have longer arms but VERY short legs. But all of these things say that your arms and legs should be longer but I donât. Iâm so confused on all this. Would you think Iâm a soft classic with these answers? I have 4Câs in the first section, and 4 Dâs in the last section, with 3 Eâs in the middle section of the test.
Hi have been following you , great content đ
Where are the jeans from? I struggle with denim as a soft classic too.
Theyâre only Zara! I think they were 7.99 in a recent sale!!! â„ïž
I love your videos. I am confused about my own kibbe id. Maybe im soft classic, soft gamine or TR. i am not sure anymore.
Don't worry it takes work and experimentation, its more about the journey!
Thanks for this video, it's great. Where did you get the LBD?
This is a useful video. However, after days of researching and taking multiple quizzes. I always end up with Soft Classic. This seems to make sense as I have a slight curve, balanced bust, waist and hips as well as soft flesh. But most soft classics I find have moderate to longer limbs while my limbs are relatively short, my shoulders are very narrow, rounded and sloped. This has me so confused! Can you give me some advice?
What brand are those soft trousers?? Finding trousers that don't cling too much or have the right amount of give, while still having the buttons and pockets, is a challenge
I love this Video! I have very similar body but I think I' m rather a TR. Could you make a film with outfits which can help to see the difference. I mean can you Show some outfits that would be better for TR ? Or maybe you know any Bloggers who are TR? Best wishes !
I thought I was a Romantic for so long until recently someone suggested I look into Soft Classic. My mind was blown watching this video. So much of your frame is similar to mine, its so obvious that I'm a soft classic! Thanks for sharing, I'm looking forward to revamping my wardrobe with this in mind
Question how can you answer this delimma if i wear sharp clothing i feel i lose my softness and look more yang and when I wear soft clothing I look more yin.. when I first took the quiz I answered moderate for everything giving me sc
Wonderful video. Where did you purchase the beautiful green blue ball gown?
hi idk if you're gonna see this comment but after watching your videos all these times, I just now found out that I am actually soft classic.
I've I watched your style roots videos, and my style roots are flower, mushroom, and I think sun because I love to wear a lot of fun colours, sometimes fun patterns, fun jewelry.
so my question is how me as a SC accomodate my sun style roots? because SC looks so great in minimal details and clean lines
Korean girls are very soft classic, but with a little funny and original twist. It can be wearing sport shoes, very casual, for instance.
Thank you so much for this video! Are you sure you're not a theatrical romantic? I feel like theatrical romantic clothing would look amazing on you.
Could you do difference between soft classic and soft gamine? Pwiz đ I feel like when you add âsoftâ to any type you kinda get similar styles when it comes down to actual outfits
What kind of trouser do you usually look for? I'm a soft classic and struggle finding trousers that look right as alot seem to be sharply tailored. And could you tell us where the grey pair in the video are from? :)
The grey pair are from H&M! I quite like the look of tailoring, but I avoid it being very tight in the leg and always go high waist!
Kibbe said that you can be any time if u are short except they taller types like Soft dramatic or flamboyant natural so in short yes you still can be a soft classic .....
Heyy do you remember were the jeans of outfit 10:38 are from?? They look so cute!!
I feel like I'm a soft classic, but mixed with some romantic elements because I'm curvier with a short and very pronounced waist. Is that possible? đ€
I feel like I fit soft classic in everything apart from my height! because I'm about 5'7"/5'8"
Hi can someone help me because I cannot figure out for the life of me what I am, I took the test and it says I'm a soft classic (I got mostly c answers for bone structures but mostly E answers for body flesh and Facial Features) I agree that crazy detail doesn't look good on me but I have prominant facial features and a very sinch waist. This made me think I was more a pure romantic but I have large hands and the detail thing. And I think I have a romantic essence. Basically I'm driving myself crazy.
Hi! I wonder how to make a full sweatpant outfit work for a soft classic? I really love it to where it at home, its so comfortable, but it makes me look really sloppy.
Ouff, I completely feel your struggle with jeans! Most are too tight around the hips and too loose around the waist đ
does anybody knowing where the grey âgoing shoppingâ trousers are from?
