Physical Features of a Flamboyant Natural
Broad, blunt bone structure with wide shoulders and muscular build. Long limbs with athletic frame and natural width through upper body. Strong facial features with broad jawline, large nose, and wide-set eyes.
Note: Modern Kibbe emphasizes overall line, silhouette, and how fabric drapes on the body rather than checking off individual features. These physical descriptions serve as general guides to understand each type's accommodation needs (vertical, width, curve, petite), not as strict checklists. Your Kibbe type is about what your body needs in clothing, not matching every listed trait.

Flamboyant Natural Sketch Lines
Understanding your Kibbe type starts with analyzing your body's natural lines. Our 3D sketch line process reveals the unique bone structure and flesh distribution that defines the Flamboyant Natural silhouette.
Our Process: We use advanced 3D body scanning technology combined with AI-powered line tracing to create accurate sketch lines. This helps our system accurately measure your proportions and visualize if your dominant element contains vertical or curve, as well as your additional elements, that combined, create your Kibbe type.

3D Body Mesh
Using advanced 3D body scanning, we generate a precise mesh model that captures the exact body geometry and proportions.
Sketch Lines
The mesh is traced into clean contour lines that highlight the key features: shoulder slope, waist definition, and hip curves.
Silhouette Description
You need a relaxed, straight outline that is long and unbroken, with breadth through the upper back/shoulder area. When one is looking at you, the eye will travel in one bold sweep moving downward. Any flow/drape should move downward, not out.
Key Shapes
- •Broad shoulder/upper torso area
- •Upper body wider than lower proportionally
- •Strong vertical direction despite the width
- •Bold, blunt bone structure visible in outline
- •Relaxed, unconstructed silhouette

Fabric Flow
The imaginary fabric hangs down with noticeable breadth at the shoulders/upper back. The width is at the top, with the line moving straight down from there.

What Flamboyant Naturals Should Wear
Silhouette
Long and slightly oversized with loose, easygoing fit.
Fabrics
Textured, natural materials like linen or tweed for rugged and casual feel.
Patterns
Large, asymmetrical or earthy patterns—plaids or geometrics with natural edge.
Details
Simple and unfussy with rugged finishes and textured elements.
T-Shirts
Choose relaxed, oversized tees with a slightly slouchy fit. Look for natural fabrics like cotton or linen, and don't be afraid of bold prints, graphics, or earthy tones.
Shirts
Go for loose, flowing button-downs or tunics with minimal structure. Look for natural fabrics like linen or chambray, and embrace relaxed, slightly oversized fits with rolled sleeves or open collars.
Sweaters
Opt for chunky, oversized knits with a relaxed, natural vibe. Think slouchy cardigans, open-weave textures, or boxy fits. Natural fibers like wool or cotton blends work beautifully.

Beauty Guide for Flamboyant Naturals
Hair
Loading...
Cut Style
Strong outline with unconstructed, free-flowing movement. Bold but relaxed—think effortlessly tousled with natural texture.
Face Frame
Strong outline with loose, natural movement. Your face frame should feel free and uncontrived, not stiff or overly styled.
Finish
Loose, tousled, and uncontrived. Embrace your natural texture and movement—beach waves, air-dried texture, relaxed volume.
Tips
Avoid overly polished, sleek styles or fussy, intricate styling. Your hair should look like you just came back from an adventure.
Colors & Makeup
Your Colors Depend on Your Season
While your hair cut is determined by your Image Identity (Flamboyant Natural), your makeup colors and hair color are determined by your Season—Winter, Summer, Autumn, or Spring. Your Season is based on your natural coloring (skin, hair, and eye colors), not your body type.
