What is Kibbe?
 
The Kibbe system was created by David Kibbe in the 1980s as a way to help individuals find their most harmonious style by analyzing their natural body lines, proportions, and essence. Unlike traditional body shape guides, which focus only on measurements, Kibbe’s system blends feminine vs. masculine energy (Yin/Yang), structure, and flow to create personalized style recommendations.
 
 
Image Identities
 
Kibbe’s system categorizes people into 13 Image Identities, which are based on the balance between sharp/angular (Yang) vs. soft/rounded (Yin) features. Each category determines the type of lines, silhouettes, and details that best complement an individual’s natural appearance.
 
The benefit of Kibbe’s approach is that it moves beyond trends or rigid beauty standards. Instead, it celebrates natural beauty by highlighting what already works best for each person. Dressing in harmony with one’s natural lines creates a look that feels effortless, polished, and uniquely personal.
 
 
 
*Disclaimer
 
While I’m not officially certified in the Kibbe system—because, technically, only David Kibbe himself can determine someone’s type—I have a deep understanding of its principles and can provide a well-educated opinion based on your features and proportions. My recommendations are rooted in thorough analysis and style expertise.
