Can you combine your body shape and your essence to find your kibbe type? I show how I view finding your kibbe image ID as a combination of your influences to find your yin/yang balance

In my last post I said how I see Kibbe types as a combination of body type + essence.

I much prefer the method of combining your body matrix type with your essence/style roots to curate your image, but I do completely understand the appeal of placing yourself in the kibbe system. I don’t think that if you’re a narrow long medium and you force yourself to fit into Soft Dramatic that its the most satisfying or harmonious way to dress, but when I have a request I like to see it through!

The following post is an in depth explanation of how I see the connection between essences, kibbe types, and your body matrix type, I hope you find it interesting and maybe it helps you settle on an ID!
