REAL PEOPLE examples of Kibbe + Kitchener + Color Outfits 

It's a lot like the backlash of Marie Kondo saying she's a bit more relaxed now that she's had a 3rd kid. Folks want a set of rules to follow, clear cut, so they don't have to think too hard about it. Your website and now video content has helped me tremendously to understand what "style lines" even means, not to mention combining in it all. I created pinterest boards for me and for my sisters based pretty solely on your and the concept wardrobes explanations. Thank you for what you do.

I've always found your approach to be nuanced, intellectual, inclusive, and fun. I never liked my style but also never vibed with "cookie cutter" rules about what I "should" wear. I like that you seem to encourage us to explore what's both flattering *and* personally satisfying. 💙

I think it's awesome you're looking at criticism and using it to improve but I wanted to let you know that your videos + blogs on Kibbe have been INCREDIBLY helpful for me. I guess everyone understands things differently, but my experience with your content has been pretty opposite to what it sounds like your criticism is. I've definitely become more confident in my "home" in kibbe because of you ❤

How the hell do you not at least have 100k subs😩you’re so underrated you have the best content about kibbe and fashion advices

Thank you so much for adding a Hijabi I really appreciate it as a Muslim 🫶🏼🤍

You don't need to apologize! I think your analytic approach to Kibbe's system is, honestly, much more workable and helpful than Kibbe's mystical, magical approach that shifts and changes with the wind and leaves people scratching their heads about what they can actually wear for year after frustrating year. A system is only as good as it is accessible and you are making it accessible. If anyone has the funds to travel to New York and see Kibbe himself by all means do so, but for those of us who don't have that option and just want some solid guideance on how to put our self-determined Kibbe ID's and essences together to create outfits your videos are a great help! Fantastic, really! I'm impressed at how you are taking the concepts I've been studying for what feels like forever now and turning them into outfits.

Thank you for taking people's feedback and thinking about it! Out of all the people talking about Kibbe, Kitchener, colours and fashion, you are the one who truly thinks about what people really want and need and how to work it with our feelings and aesthetics. You are one of the least reductive and most easy to understand people on RU-vid. I appreciate your content a lot.

Would you ever consider doing a long form video of “shopping” popular places like Mango, Zara, H&M, Shopbop, etc. for specific body types? Showing what you’d pick and what you’d avoid from one specific shop might help us understand things in a different way. You have such a talent for sharing this nuanced and complex information in a way that is easy to digest and relate to! I appreciate the time and energy you spend on creating this content.

I’ve been following “Kibbe” typing for a year or so on line and to me, you are an expert. As a long time interior design professional I finally woke up one day and said, after years of questioning my practices, fine-tuning, experimenting, and listening to criticism, “I am an expert. People come to me for my advice. They don’t have to follow it. I have a natural God-given talent for visualization, strong intuition, a complete educational background, and have learned how to succeed in a difficult business, why don’t I learn to trust myself, believe in myself, and realize that this is my gift to the Universe? I believe you must do the same thing to move forward. You have a special ability to explain this difficult subject in comprehensible terms, so please keep doing what you are doing. You are the first to show sensitivity to our current culture than any of the other speakers on this topic. Keep going - you are special. ! (Hope this helps)

I watch a lot of Kibbe/Kitchner/Color Analysis videos and yours are the most respectful, inclusive, fun and helpful of them all. If anything, my constructive criticism is that you have too many disclaimers and are too cautious in explaining your ethos, even though your analytical reasoning and holistic intentions are already very transparent. speak your truth, you're not responsible for others' discomfort or misinterpretations. The more you acknowledge, respond and internalize backlash, the more that backlash threatens to poison the quality of your content.

Actually, I feel way more free with your content than the opposite. I really hope you get back. You have no idea how much you helped me.

I have always appreciated your interpretation of the Kibbe system. I can't afford to see the man himself, and am unwilling to re-join the Simply Kibbe cult (probably the same people who feel the need to criticize your videos), so any info that helps me decipher this insanely complex and often seemingly random system is welcome. I also appreciate that you have never held yourself up as an "expert" or "guru".

As a true autumn dramatic classic that hasn’t decided which essence combination, your videos have been so helpful!

Reading between the lines (and I could be wrong) it seems like the criticism was more like SK admonishing you for misrepresenting them. Your response is very classy and respectful. That said, I’ve always seen you as someone with this style toolbox, never as a Kibbe creator. I hope you can still keep talking about essences and proportions. Also, I think you’re very magical and did not lose any magic in your delivery. You give more detailed information than anyone else. Sending love and thanks for the great vid.❤

Woman! You are blowing my mind ^_^ I'm 38 years old and you introduced me to essences 🙌 Thank you Dear 🫸🫷

Your videos are packed with so much substance and I appreciate that! I do not think your content has been “chaotic neutral.” You insert plenty of disclaimers and are clear this is your perspective. Your insights and opinions are wonderful to hear. Like you, I was attracted to gamine style but lost interest in style for a long time because I was buying things that didn’t make me feel good when I wore them. I believe I have classic, dramatic and romantic essences so gamine pieces clashed with these “more mature” essences. I now find ways to incorporate whimsical but still classic elements into my outfits which still fulfills that attraction to playfulness and I know what pieces to buy (turtle necks are the best!) to make me feel comfortable and more like myself. Body type: 5’7, curvy with sharper bones (possibly SD) Essence blend: classic, dramatic, and romantic Color pallet: soft summer pallet is best, but can shift into soft autumn as well

Actually, your (extremely thorough and wonderful) essence videos combined with your videos on "how to dress your body type" and proportions helped me realize I didn't really NEED Kibbe. I know it's everyone's tool du jour, but you can get pretty far identifying which parts of your body you want to highlight and applying your essences and preferences there. Kibbe does provide an easy shortcut to talking about our bodies, but it's not the end all be all. Once I figured out I wanted to highlight the narrowness and vertical and de-emphasize my bust on my 5'5 frame, I stopped caring about Kibbe altogether. All this to say, it will probably do all of us some good to apply some subjectivity to our bodies instead of obsessively trying to fit into boxes. And knowing what you know about design, you're equipped to teach folks how to highlight their best/fav features just fine without anybody's framework. You got this ;-)

I would LOVE to see deep dives on the 12 seasonal color analysis like you did for Kitchener. It would be cool to see Kibbe body and Kitchener essence examples in the colors for each season. Because I can’t help but feel some colors invoke more of one essence than another does. For instance I’m finding it very difficult to find examples for SA ingenue or SA Dramatic if that makes sense. I feel like colors themselves throw off vibes that we instinctively associate with certain essences. Like I see a lot more Natural essence clothing for SA then any other essence. And more dramatic and classic essence for the winters. Just a thought. I would love to hear your interpretation of it all, especially since your blog posts on the 12 seasons are very informative.

Your explanation of Kibbe is the best I've ever seen. I did not get it until I watched your videos. Edit: In fact, your explanation of Kibbe set me free. I had been trying to do what all short and rounded, curvy women are told to do, wear elongating long lines, don't show your ankles because it emphasizes your shortness, and wear lots of black and dark colors. lol Then I found Kibbe and wasn't getting it until I watched your videos. I was trying to turn a Romantic body into a Dramatic or Classic body. Does not work, trust me. Then you explained that my Romantic body was a thing! I don't have to try and change my body to look anything else but short, narrow shoulders, rounded edges with my hourglass figure and "fleshiness.". And the color recommendations from Kibbe were also freeing, along with the recommendation to sparkle. I am transforming my look into something that I love and something that really reflect me instead of trying to be something I'm not. I am wearing less black, more navy, more white and oyster, pale pink, and I always have a patent-leatther item or some dainty, sparkling jewelry on. Swapped my double-breasted tan trench for a single-breasted shiny oyster colored one and the effect is remarkable. I will be forever thankful for your Kibbe videos, even the ones in which you were overfitting.

I've never had a problem with how you presented kibbe info (not that I'm an expert), but by far my favorite videos of yours is your personal style videos. Taking pictures of my outfits every day has been the single most helpful thing for me! And I would love to see more videos on you helping people find outfits inspired from their style/mood boards, regardless of whether kibbe image IDs are part of it or not.

What l’ve especially learned from you is why something doesn’t look so good on me. That’s been super duper helpful and saved me so much money and frustration. I’m just so so grateful!!

it's always good to take a step back from something you've invested a lot of thought into so you can see the bigger picture again, but that doesn't mean the deep dives aren't of value either! always good to have a balance, can't wait to see what content you go for :) and love the style guiding as always!!

You're content has been very helpful for me. I'm not a style purist, but understanding my body type and essence blend as well as color typing has taken my fashion sense to the next level. My closet finally has a cohesive palette and a blend of items that I truly enjoy wearing. As I thrift the majority of my clothing, my Pinterest fashion board has been great inspo. As a soft natural with a classic/romantic essence blend my neutrals are denim, olive green, khaki and brown. Comfort and ease of movement are key but finding a flattering fit and outfit balance pulled it together for me. You're examples are great and I appreciate all the time and effort you put into your videos. ~Thank you

Yes please to more on personal style maps! 😁

I’m a FN soft summer with angelic&natural essence in my late 20s. It is easy for me to find “dressed up looks”, I struggle to find “everyday” outfits for days off work & casual/non-fancy dates with my bf that would still compliment me. I keep saving parisian chic looks on Pinterest.

I’m a Kibbe dramatic with gamine, ingenue and dramatic essences (in this order) and my color season is deep winter. I’m a diver so I love the mermaidcore. I like my clothes cute, playful but somehow sophisticated and discrete at the same time. Taylor Swift in 2012 and 2013 is one of my fashion inspirations. Thank you so much for these videos, they’re so helpful and inspiring 🤍

I don’t think you have been overfitting or whatever the critics were at all! I love your videos on Kibbe and Kitchener! They have been illuminating and I have had so many aha-moments. Please continue making them! If people don’t like them or feel «boxed in» then watch something else. Let us that love this continue to watch it!

This series is so helpful! I am a soft classic with natural, dramatic and classic essences. I’m a warm autumn but I’d like to stay away from navy blues. My style is about comfort, but in a more messy grunge way, instead of exercise leggings way. I wear a lot of t-shirts and jeans but I’d like to elevate my outfits for the office and for my age, which is almost 30. Thanks again for this exceptional series!

I really appreciated the hijabi example and how well-informed you are on it! I feel seen as a muslim woman. Thank you!

Also Gaby, just wanted to say I find the way you communicate very refreshing ❤ it’s easy to see how passionate you are about people and not just fashion- I really appreciate your videos and your honesty xxx much love and can’t wait for the next one, whichever direction you choose to take 😙

love your videos! thanks for all of the hard work

i'm a soft dramatic with ethereal essence. my color season is soft summer and my goal is to look magical mysterious and put-together but also grounded. i like to wear clothes that are modest and do not restrict movement (and are comfrotable) and soft fabrics and flat shoes. i'm inspired by nature, spring, cottagecore, fairytales and stories like chroniches of narnia, ghibli or anne of green gables and i like celestial motifs like suns, moons and stars, especially for jewerly. i'm also a college student (business major) so i would like my look to represent quiet confidence since i am very introverted. also, i just wanted to say thank you so much for making these videos. i find them extremely helpful❤🦋

Your videos are incredibly helpful. Anything but boxed in!! I appreciate you!

Your videos are so consistently fun, helpful, and informative. Thank you for all of the great content!

I am a kibbe soft natural with Natural, Ingenue and romantic essence. My colour season is soft summer. I love effortless and simple outfits with an edge (Like Kate Moss's outfits for example). Since I am a high school junior the outfits should be age- and school apropriate. Thank you for this is series, it is very helpful!

All the style parameters have helped me to home in on my best self and my authentic expression. Thank you for helping me with this. I recognize that not all of the beautiful clothes are for me, just the ones that make me feel like myself beautifully. It's a gift to have parameters.

These videos help so much!! I absolutely love them! All your videos are life saver for understanding style and being able to apply the “rules” irl! 💕

These are truly my favorite videos right now. They seem like a lot of work so I just wanted to say how much I appreciate them. I find them so inspiring. Thanks you :)

Loove your videos! I’ve recommended them to many friends! Love seeing the hijabi look in your video 🎉

YES, I would love a deep dive into how to apply everything to get a great style map. Thanks for asking.

Gabrielle, I love that you’re taking criticism and using it as an opportunity for growth, rather than getting snotty or snarky about it. I absolutely love your content, and respect you even more, for this! I think I saw myself in one of your examples (Audrey) and I think you got me 100%! I would definitely wear everything f you suggested (I love those plaid pants) - and I already wear my hair like Marilyn! Woman, you are GOOD!

This series is so helpful, please keep making it. I struggle to be creative with looks and end up wearing a variation of the same look again and again. My issue at the moment is I've just changed jobs from a relaxed outdoors based job to an office based job at a University. It's quite cold at the moment and I'm tending to wear black skinny jeans, black boots, a black jumper, black coat and black bag with a colourful top but I want to use more colour and less black in my wardrobe. I'm a bright spring and kibbe theatrical romantic and I have ingenue, romantic and classic essence. I'd like to be seen as intelligent, approachable and feminine but I tend to be seen as young and sweet. My only non negotiable is no trainers or high heels. I'm also not a big fan of wearing jewellery; a small silver necklace is about as much as I wear. If you could help me out I'd really appreciate it. Xx

This is my favorite series of yours and I love how thoughtful you are both in taking into consideration all of the commenter's style parameters and needs as well as the section in the end responding to criticism!! You're so clearly passionate about what you do. I'm a soft gamine and I'm uncertain of my essences but I think it's some blend of ethereal, classic, and maybe a little bit of natural. I'm a deep winter. My personal style inspiration veers toward the moody, sultry, and dramatic, and my style map would involve Morticia Addams, Old Hollywood femme fatale, 70s rock glam, 60s Parisian girl, and a touch of cyperpunk or military-inspired. I have yet to feel like I understand how to dress within soft gamine lines and also incorporate my essences/personal style. In general, I'd like to look cool and unique, in flattering clothes, especially as I often feel like while I really liked the outfit I styled, it looks off on *me*. Some outfits that are office appropriate but not boring would be appreciated (I'm so tired of business casual!!!), and I live in a cold city with snowy winters, if that helps.

Yesssss neww videoooo💖💖💖💖

I would love a video on personal style maps!! ❤❤❤❤ having a hard time choosing glasses right now and feel like it could be very helpful 😊

I love your videos and have found them very helpful, while I love your ability to self reflect and take constructive feedback I hope you don't feel down about it- you're doing an amazing job!!

Yes to more content on personal style maps! Love this series, one of the best content on this topic I watched ❤

I recently discovered your videos and love them!! You do a wonderful job of communicating about something that to me is abstract - fashion & personal style - and have made it make sense finally. I'm excited to try out things you suggest & looking forward to any future content. Plus your videos are fun to watch. :-)

Thanks so much for this!!! Love this concept ❤❤❤ can’t wait to be included

Thank you for your content! I am analytical too and you have been able to say everything in a way that makes so much more sense to me. Thank you! Your videos where you go over essences and pulling it all together and the style map are my favorite. Finding these systems have let me spend money on clothes better because I’m not just buying whatever I am attracted to at random, but am understanding what looks good on me and WHY. So many times I have had a top or an outfit and I’m like oh this is great but then when I try to reproduce the vibe or get a piece of clothing that is something similar I realize I didn’t know why it worked and it’s hard to get lucky twice. I’ve also been able to see my body better past my own insecurities and dysmorphia. Now I feel like I know why an outfit works and if I will like an article of clothing and can confidently invest in higher quality clothes and more environmental ethical brands as I fill in wardrobe gaps without just having to hope I get lucky with the picks. Please do more style map and creating outfits that incorporate those elements! Also a request- more about ways to make the more yin IDs professional and business casual looks. I am a 8th grade math teacher and a mom of toddlers but a soft dramatic and it’s hard to walk that line between confident but not too sexy, and modest but not frumpy. And I can’t walk it in heels because I am on my feet and going ALL DAY lol.

I'm so sad that you don't want to do more Kibbe content! I just discovered you and within 2 days of watching your videos, I finally understand how it all works. Your content helped me tremendously. Kibbe doesn't explain his work very well and often makes it all even more confusing, but when you speak about it - suddenly it makes sense. I feel like we are losing a really helpful resource here and I'm honestly pretty sad about this... 🥺 I very much hope that you decide to continue, your videos transformed my understanding of fashion and made things click. I suddenly feel comfortable and confident when previously I hated everything I wore. That is all you, girl. So thank you. Maybe you just need to hear more from the people you are helping, because you aren't hurting people, you are clarifying the Kibbe confusion, and he isn't doing it himself! 😣 We need you!

Thank you so much! This was super helpful and I related so well to the example of the hijabi! You were so respectful and spot on!!!

Gabby you are a star. Obviously you’ve reflected on some criticism - don’t over analyse that. You bring a lot of clarity to this topic and have always been clear that you are giving your interpretation. Don’t be undermined by kibbe loyalists. I hated the Facebook group. It was boring and you never are.

My heart lights up every time you post!

So inspiring! It's refreshing to see real people examples and not just celebrity examples. I have already comment in other videos to ask you for some tips on how to combine or identify in oneself the different essences, it would be of great help 👏

Subscribed! Thank you for everything you do ❤️❤️❤️

Love you what you do and have shared your content with friends of mine who are lost. We all think you're great....

I have loved your approach and representation of kibbe. You make it feel easier to understand and follow. We are all here because we are enjoying your take on the different styles and how to Como and showcase just how easy it can be. Don’t stop doing what you do best. Keep on Kibbe.

I think it’s really great that you’re open to critique and that you have put this little section in your video about being accountable. Also I completely agree about the whole boxes and labels thing. I kind of feel that that’s what has been happening lately with the online communities of the system. Not many creators are willing to do that and it really shows who you are as a person and I really appreciate that! I also really love that you talk about styling for a variety of bodies and their style parameters and giving examples of things that work within those parameters! I’m actually curious what you might come up with for me. I’m leaning between soft classic and romantic (I know I possibly accommodate curve). For Kitchener I believe I have romantic classic and ingenue essences. I’m really into historical fashion and my favourite periods are Regency, WW1 and the 20s and I only use natural fibres (plus rayon and cupra). I’m also a bright spring and love prints (especially florals). I usually sew my own clothes but I’m really curious to know what you could come up with using these parameters!

These systems have helped me to overcome my body dysmorphia and to love what I got, when I got it! (my weight is in flux) My best guess - using your tools - is that I am a true summer color pallete and kibbe romantic (or possible theatrical romantic/soft gamine) with the following essences: Classic 33%, Gamine 23%, Ingenue 18%, Natural 16%, Romantic 7% - hopefully I'll be able to narrow this information down but it's already clicking as to why certain things have felt "not right" and other items feel so good. I'm training my eye and upgrading my wardrobe to match a recent promotion alongwith my uphill journey towards being my truest and bestest self! Thanks for all that you do, Gabrielle! I would love to see more content around my particular combinations in the future!!!!!

I’m obsessed with your videos

I love u for clearing out the confusion. I’ve learnt a lot from this video myself. Now I get the real meaning of his book metamorphosis. I feel like kibbe subreddit can be low key ineffective.

Oh no, I loved your kibbe videos by far the most

I discovered your videos not too long ago. I love your explanations, style (clothes and teaching), basically everything about your work!

Hey Gabby, I love your videos and the website content. I'm a soft dramatic with dramatic, natural and ingenue essences so my closet has always been a bit all over the place! But your content has really helped me figure out what I feel and look good in. And equally importantly, saved me a lot of money from buying things that don't fit my style for one reason or another. I know you feel like you need to retool but just know you have been super helpful!

I really really appreciate your side comment/troubleshooting. I've been following your videos with interest, learned a lot, and I can tell you're passionate about developing these concepts into modern culture and helping people apply them for themselves. When one shows that the matter itself is more important than the ego (being right, for example), it shows a lot of maturity and that your heart is in the right place. While I didn't personally notice there were specific ways you might have skewed the information, I think your desire to improve the application of--let's admit it--quite complex ideas and concepts, reinforces my respect and interest in following your channel on this topic. It might be a bit of time until I get to see another video from you about Kibbe (honestly probably the system I understand the least well so far), but I'm looking forward to it already.

I don't understand the criticism. Your series had helped me learn so much about Kibbe and Kitchner systems. I love the fact you go so much in detail. Who knew fashion had a nerdy side? It blows my mind that there is so much to learn about. No, not everyone has to or should adhere to any system but knowing certain things may allow you to reach an A ha moment about why do you gravitate towards something, and encourage you to lean into something that you might not have considered, i.e a style of dress etc. Please never stop, cause as Taylor Swift put it so succinctly: hater gonna hate hate hate (:. Love everything you have put out there. (Dark Winter/ Dramatic essence,/soft dramatic (kibbe). Like dark academia/ put together looks.

This was so much to watch!! Im a true autumn and flamboyant natural. I love wearing comfortable, oversized, modest, soft clothing, and mostly wear my true autumn neutral colors. I avoid patterns and blazers as I don’t feel it’s my style. I’m really into Korean street style. I’m also a college student and would love to present myself as relaxed and confident :)

Gabrielle, your Kibbe videos have been extremely helpful. I am a “new” person because of them, I now have a style which is true to my essence and I love it❤. Honestly, I do not see a disservice on your behalf.

This was so helpful!Here are my parameters. I am a slim soft dramatic, I am not very busty but I am quite curvy at my glutes/hips. I have strong ingénue essence followed by ethereal then romantic essences. I’m mixed race and a soft summer. Currently I only wear black and white and very occasionally wear colour. However I realised too much black looks too harsh on me. I practically dress like Wednesday Addams, I even have the same haircut 😂 I have a disability so I find comfort important and cannot wear flat shoes. platforms and doc martens are the best for me. I want to be able to blend my essences, Kibbe and colour season cohesively as that is what I have been struggling with. I enjoy the cottagecore, Korean, feminine and gothic/dark romantic aesthetics. I recently graduated uni and just want some nice everyday outfits to walk the dog or see friends and evening outfits. I love wearing dresses and I love wearing blouses and shirts. I also am allergic to the cold and live in London, so I also need help with cold weather options because I usually look like the michelin man in winter.

I love your videos! They help me to understand where I fit into and to feel comfortable to show it. I'm a soft classic with a cool winter pallette, my main essences are ingenue, classic and natural. I am going to school to be a dietitian and love going to the gym and dinner parties. I work at a food industry where I wear a uniform and workbooks, and when not at work I love wearing skirts and dresses, classic prints, and minimalist style pieces and don't like to wear heels.

You are so awesome. I will watch whatever content you make.

You look stunning in this video!! You are glowing in your essence blend ;) And I always look forward to your videos - love your sense of humor and clear delivery of nuanced subjects. Great job!

I have been trying to figure out my kibbe id for over a decade and pouring over all the content I could find. I have found the few videos I have watched of yours much more applicable and had much more success finding things that work for me and understanding my lines....don't be so hard on yourself!

Omg I would LOVE to be one of your case studies for your next video

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your content & have learned a lot from you. Thank you!😊

Thank you so much for following up on my request for suggestions of what to wear to art openings! I love the outfit and will try to find something similar. What I really love about your suggestions are that I could imagine wearing all of these pieces with other pieces in my wardrobe, so the pieces are not one-off. They're both practical and elegant. Thanks again! Gratefully, "Charlotte"

I can’t express how much it made happy to see you style my parameters. It made so much sense with clothes I already have and outfits inspiration I’d save. Your videos help so much with my style journey. I try to translate and synthesize it to my sister who is also on a style journey. I love the concept of style maps and with my sister we share are own and try to understand it into outfits. I would love another video going into details about style maps. Thank you so much for your hard work PS : I love how inclusive you are it’s so refreshing

I've watched many RU-vid on kibbe...and I think you're awesome...over fitting or not. Love your videos and analysis. No apologies needed..you have added value to my understanding. Thank you and please continue your content.

Hello Gabrielle, I was almost in tears when watching the last part of this video. Thank you for graciously taking what I hope was constructive criticism. But I have to say that your videos have given me so much clarity and information on this crazy Kibbe subject. Thank you for sharing your hard work with us. I watch other Kibbe content creators and to the best of my knowledge they, like you, have mentioned not to get caught up in the minute details of a given body part when trying to determine Kibbe body ID. Kibbe himself, from what I’ve read, changes his own parameters. So to sum this up, remember that you can’t please everyone all of the time. If someone doesn’t like it, go somewhere else (there are many other Kibbe content creators), or start your own Kibbe philosophy. Gabrielle, you do an excellent job, I love your channel 💕💕!

And yes! Would love a video on how to use the images on the moodboard to create looks!

Omg I have so been looking forward to more content from you! Truly love the way you think about style as a whole and it has been very eye opening to start understanding these different concepts and trying to incorporate them, but also thank you for talking about "overfitting". I of course don't understand Kibbe's system well enough to have an issue with how you explain it lol BUT I'm def an overthinker and over analyzer, I love to have all the info possible when making decisions. Thank you for modeling and reminding people like me that it's all wonderful and exciting to have new "data points" but it is good to stop and reflect along the journey. I know your intention was in reference to the critique you've gotten and your content but again, a good life reminder as well so thank you that, thank you for empowering me and so many others to embrace strength through style, and I am SO excited for more of your content, period. All the love to you 💕💕💕

Thank you for being so inclusive ❤ Really appreciate it

Thank you so much for this video, it's really helpful for understanding how to incorporate different elements into an outfit :) Also I really love that cottagecore tote bag

no way! Your Kibbe content has been so helpful! Your insight and depth of study into these nuanced details has been so eye opening, please don't appologize for anything! Your videos are amazing and I can tell so much passion and care goes into each one! You're inspirational!!

Thank you Gabrielle, I found your channel yesterday and I spend 3 hours to understand my style. I'm a Kibbe GAMINE but mostly INGENUE and ETHERAL essence. And also I already knew that I am a warm spring. It will be somehow tricky to found clear outfits BUT I understand myself so much more, it's really clear now. And I feel that I have already so much more confidence in myself so I'm excited for putting outfits together 😊🤗

Honestly your videos have been instrumental in my style journey, understanding or even finding kibbe's theory. I've still got a long way to go, but your videos have been both informative and a lot of fun for me! Even my mother who has been uninterested in fashion for as long as I can remember loves your videos and is learning so much about style and her own clothing preferences thanks to your content. She's even started making her style maps, and we watch every video you post together as soon as we see it's been released - we make an event if it. Snacks, get cozy, grab the cat to watch too! If you're still open to parameters, I'd love to see your thoughts and ideas on my criteria! I'm plus size - unsure if I'm a flamboyant gamine or a soft gamine. A few people have suggested I'm a FG (traditionally curvy but no Kibbe curve was their argument). I've got a strong gamine essence, with ingenue and romatic [recent change/reassigned thanks to group vote] (though I much prefer highlighting the gamine essence over the ingenue). Im also a cool winter. I'm starting my career in writing and editing, so I need a closet that shows how creative and intelligent I am, but is also approachable. My spare time is mostly spent playing group games (like dnd) and time with my partner. Aesthetics I enjoy are playful punk elements, witchy academia (eg Netflix sabrina), and some celestial motifs. Celebrities who's styles I enjoy are Lily Collins, Emma Watson, and Upsahl. I hope I didn't go overboard in this description!

Your content is great, and I'm really surprised by those critics! Personally, I was never confused by your manners 🥺 I'll keep following your content, not matter Kibbe or any orher personal style aspect ✨

I will keep watching in a second but i have to say, this top is SO stunning on you! The fit and fabric and especially the sage green are all so gorgeous.

Hi, I'm a cool winter, natural essence with classic and romantic. I love the neutral colors and polished look of classic style, but find it a challenge to look polished, especially since I prefer relaxed and comfort. I love jeans plus a tee shirt, or a soft knit. I love interesting details, like a bright pop of color, a bit of lace, or texture, maybe something slightly edgy.Nothing too formal or complicated. I only wear flats, no heels. I would like to have an outfit that can look polished and feminine but be easy to wear since I work from home. And if it can work for zoom meetings and running errands. My style board was " soft, polished, feminine, fresh, interesting details." My biggest challenge is looking pulled together and polished, but still make it easy. Thank you! Your videos are so helpful and I just completed the closet clean out. ❤

I have struggled with style all my life, I love almost everything so that in itself is an overwhelming problem. Supposedly , I’m a natural classic with romantic & gamine….. sounds like a prescription for psychosis Knowing that however makes me feel somewhat better. Gives me an excuse to validate some odd outfits I’ve worn. I’m short , bottom heavy and old , just to make it harder of course. I doubt I’ll ever have a true personal style but maybe being natural classic is just the excuse I need. I wish I could afford a stylist to help , in the meantime I’ll jump into my flowy floral gown , put my hair up in a loose bun and carry on. Thank you for what you do, it’s very appreciated.

Ohh this is great! I am a warm autumn soft natural with natural essence but I am really into a more glam rock aesthetic. My ideal style would have the adjectives unique & "everyday glam rock" if that's a thing (like Vic de Angelis, or 70s groupies). Would love some help with an everyday outfit like this. Thank you!

Gaby you have helped me IMMENSELY in just being more careful about my purchases and buying more flattering clothes - period. I'm currently on tenterhooks waiting for your Spring Capsule (fingers crossed it's coming). I'm 50 years old, 6'1, soft dramatic, soft autumn, 60% natural, 30% romantic, 10% classic, work in a casual office environment and basically only wear flats. I would seriously pay you money each season for a few outfit ideas. LOVE all of your content. xx

This serie is amazing ❤😭 I am a theatrical romantic, with ethereal/ingenue ad a touch of classic essence, light spring as my season. I'd love to embrace the most ethereal part of myself, I'd love looking like a princess or a fairy but I struggle a lot trying to incorporate this idea with everyday outfit and with my palette 🥺❤

Oh my gosh, I loved the ending. I was definitely overfitting my personal style. Especially as someone who is turning 40 in a couple months I kept thinking "I'm a soft natural, but I looked so cute in my Amelie/ gamine phase at 22!" lol. And I don't think I have an ethereal essence but I do like to dress like a friendly woodland elf sometimes 😆 whatever kind of videos you make, I'll be watching!

Thank you. You are great. Don’t listen to haters and unreasonable criticisms.

i adore these videos so much i find myself rewatching these a few times just for daily inspiration! my parameters are Soft Classic, dark winter with romantic and natural essence. my hardest part in getting dressed is dressing for cold and wet weather while still keeping the clean silhouette i need as a soft classic :/ i feel like i’m always having to ignore my personal “experimental punk meets dark bohemian” style for the sake of being weather appropriate and therefore comfortable. im non-kibbe petite and have major “resting nice face” so my goal is also to look a little off putting lol

Even though my style parameters weren’t here, it was so helpful to see your process with other people- it showed me how to approach my own wardrobe as a stylist and not someone trying to “find” my style in the kibbe rules. I appreciate the time you put into this video so much and I’d love to hear your take on my style parameters: I’m a flamboyant natural with Natural, Gamine, Ethereal essences, colour palette is a bit tricky for me but I think I’m a soft autumn. I like street style and sporty looks, but I also want to look put-together and have clothes that transition well to business-casual work. I don’t like purses or dresses/skirts, and I generally like androgynous comfortable styles that aren’t shapeless.

I love David Kibbe, he literally changed my life, and as David's fan, I can tell that I love your articles and videos, they are awesome and so artistic 😍 Sending you hugs and compassion. I'm looking forward for the next videos! Especially 😅 with my combo advice. Meanwhile, I will go and work on the mood boards... hopefully it will help me with the overfitting I'm dealing with: knowing all the types and archetypes and seasons and not only not getting the line but also collapsing on that 9th order equation I'm trying to solve each time in my head, while trying to think of my style. No, it wasn't you who confused me, I was already deeply confused when I found you. Your videos help me make sense out all this, specifically by examples of blending it all together into beautiful, functional and appropriate outsits. Xoxo! You're the best!

You're a very, good communicator, smart, funny and totally non-patronising (although you also speak quite fast for those that English isn't a first language 😁) I'm enjoy learning about others' body types and essences as well as my own. I'm a dramatic classic but have moody swings in terms of essences and style refs. I'm also a Spring that wears black and 'too' dark colours and won't be told. Love to you ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
