What Not to Wear for Your Kibbe Type — 2025 Style Guide

July 20, 2025
Five diverse women showcasing best jeans cuts for different Kibbe body types
If you’ve ever bought something and still felt off, it might be your Kibbe type calling you out. Kibbe isn’t just about body shape—it’s about the overall vibe your face and frame give off. So even trendy pieces can feel wrong if they’re fighting your natural lines.
Here’s what to skip for each Kibbe ID—and what to try instead. You can preview these changes with LookSky’s virtual try-on feature, matched to your real face and proportions.
Confused why a dress looks good on someone else but not you?
You’re not broken. You’re just not dressing for your Kibbe type. Let’s fix that.
Outfit do and don't for Kibbe Dramatic type featuring structured blazer and ruffled top

1. If You’re a Dramatic… Skip Cutesy Details

Avoid: Peter Pan collars, ruffles, flared minis

Try instead: Sharp tailoring, structured shoulders, vertical flow
Preview dramatic-approved cuts on your frame in the app.
Outfit do and don't for Kibbe Natural type featuring flowy yellow dress and tight ribbed tank dress

2. If You’re a Natural… Skip Stiff Silhouettes

Avoid: Pencil skirts, bodycon dresses, severe tailoring
Why: You look best in movement and drape, not stiffness.

Use LookSky to try on sharp pieces that match your energy.
Outfit do and don't for Kibbe Romantic type featuring black midi dress and casual oversized jacket

FAQ
What is Kibbe and why should I care?
It’s a system that helps you understand your visual lines—not just your shape, but your vibe. It’s the missing link between “technically flattering” and “actually works.”
How do I know my Kibbe type?
Take the free quiz in the LookSky app. It looks at body proportions, features, and contrast to match you with your ID.
What if I don’t agree with my Kibbe type?
You don’t have to follow it strictly. But trying on the suggestions in the app might show you why certain pieces never felt quite right.
“Most women think their style problems are about shape. But often, it’s about harmony,” says Samantha Shih, co-founder of LookSky. “Kibbe helps you stop fighting your own energy.”
