You Might be a Soft Classic | the soft & balanced body type

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.

You’ve explained why when younger I could easily change my look, even now, I can look completely different depending on what I’m wearing and hair style.

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 :)

[Emily.J.]

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 😅

[TheSweetSundown]

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

[Kaybye]

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

[traceekd]

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 :)

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

[Mrs_may_blue]

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.

[rosereddened]

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'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

[NadiaBarlow]

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!!

[ashlynnkaplan]

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!

[ruqgczl]

I’m also a soft classic ingenue! Finally found someone to cover this in depth thank you.

[notaclue]

It's interesting how on a classic a little bit goes a long way. I enjoyed this. Thanks,

[Deem]

Your video really showed me why I am not a soft classic, but a soft natural. Thanks.

[savedbygrace]

That black dress looks like it's MADE FOR YOU! It's so gorgeous on you!

[samnieto]

Wow!! This is so helpful! Doing a closet overhaul - as i have outgrown my 20s style, now that I’m a suburban mom in her 30s. I’m definitely a soft classic and your tips and features call outs make so much sense!! <commence binge watching> 👏♥️

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.

[peggysyri]

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!

[anna.sherman]

This was great, thank you so much. Really specific, straightforward and practical advice!
