Your Kibbe type is

Soft Classic

Balanced symmetry with a gentle, feminine softness

What Does Soft Classic Mean?

The Soft Classic Kibbe type has the symmetrical, balanced bones of the Classic family with softer flesh and more rounded facial features. They look best in tailored clothing that has some softness added through drape, detail or fabric choice.

Soft Classic women have the balanced, refined bones of the Classic family but their flesh is softer and their features more gentle than the pure Classic. They look most themselves in polished but softly tailored pieces. Very sharp or minimal pieces can look too cold, and very romantic or flowing pieces can look too unstructured. The Soft Classic sweet spot is elegant polish with feminine softness.

What to Wear as a Soft Classic

Silhouettes That Work With Your Lines

  • Softly tailored blazers with a gentle waist
  • Wrap dresses in semi structured fabric
  • A line skirts in quality fabric
  • Blouses with soft, feminine details
  • Sheath dresses with gentle seaming
  • Feminine suiting with rounded edges
  • Belted coats in soft wool

Fabrics That Suit Your Type

  • Soft crepe — structured with drape
  • Silk — fluid and refined
  • Soft wool — gentle structure
  • Cashmere blends — polished and soft
  • Jersey — fluid and easy with refinement

Lines That Work Against You

Very sharp, angular or highly minimalist pieces can look too cold and severe on Soft Classic gentle bones. Very flowing, unstructured bohemian pieces lack the refinement the Soft Classic instinctively needs.
