The 13 Kibbe body types

What each one looks like, what to wear, and what to skip — with three outfits to start from.

The Kibbe system reads your frame — bone structure, flesh and scale, and how much yin (curve) or yang (sharpness) runs through it — and groups the results into thirteen types across five families: Dramatic, Natural, Classic, Gamine and Romantic. Knowing yours tells you which silhouettes, fabrics and details will look like they were made for you, and which ones you'll keep returning to the store.
