Your Kibbe type is

Romantic

Wholly rounded, lush and softly feminine

What Does Romantic Mean?

The Romantic Kibbe type has small, rounded, petite bones with full, soft flesh throughout. Their features are rounded and feminine. Soft, curved, body conscious clothing in sensual fabrics is instinctively right. Anything with hard angles or that disrupts the curved line fights a Romantic's natural essence.

Romantic is the most wholly curved of all Kibbe types. Every element of the Romantic woman's physical presence is rounded: bones are small and curved, flesh is full and soft, features are gentle and rounded. The clothing that looks most natural on a Romantic echoes this consistent softness and curve. Structured pieces with sharp lines, very straight silhouettes or anything that imposes a vertical line creates a contradiction with the Romantic essence. The Romantic woman looks most herself in soft, flowing, body aware pieces.

What to Wear as a Romantic

Silhouettes That Work With Your Lines

  • Soft wrap dresses in flowing fabric
  • Fitted bodice with full or flowing skirt
  • Draped styles in sensual fabric
  • Body conscious jersey that follows the curves
  • Soft, rounded necklines
  • Feminine styles with delicate detail
  • Fluid midi and maxi styles

Fabrics That Suit Your Type

  • Chiffon — soft and flowing
  • Silk — sensual and fluid
  • Soft lace — delicate and feminine
  • Velvet — rich and rounded
  • Cashmere knits — soft and enveloping

Lines That Work Against You

Straight, angular or highly structured pieces impose a line that is the opposite of the Romantic's natural roundness. Very oversized or boxy pieces can make a Romantic woman look shapeless rather than lush.

Very stiff, structured fabrics that hold their own shape rather than following the body's curves. Very rough or angular textures can also feel at odds with Romantic softness.
Soft Natural has wider, blunter bones with a relaxed, earthy quality. Romantic has small, wholly rounded, curved bones with a sensual, lush quality. They are quite different.
