Your Kibbe Type: Soft Classic

Your frame is balanced and symmetrical, with a gentle softness to your curves and features. Lightly tailored pieces with rounded edges and soft drape suit you well.

Find your best colors Retake quiz

Your answers point to Soft Classic. Your proportions read even and moderate, and a little roundness in your outline and face softens that balance.

In practice, you look best in clothes that are neat but never stiff. Think of a cardigan rather than a boxy jacket, or a draped neckline rather than a sharp collar.

Frequently asked questions

Think of it as a strong lead, not a verdict. This quiz is our own interpretation of David Kibbe's system and is not endorsed by him. Try a softly draped dress and a sharp, boxy jacket, and compare how each one looks in daylight.

Yes, with softened structure. Choose a jacket with rounded lapels, a gentle shoulder and a shaped waist. Pair it with fluid trousers or a silky top. Stiff, square tailoring with hard shoulder pads can look harsh on you.

Both have soft curves. Soft Classic stays balanced and symmetrical, so polished, moderate detail suits you. Romantic has more curve and smaller bones, so it can carry ruffles, lace and more ornate detail without looking overdone.

Rounded and softly shaped necklines work well: scoop, sweetheart, cowl and a gentle V. A high, stiff collar or a sharp, deep angular neckline can fight your soft features. A small pendant on a fine chain finishes the look.
