Physical Features of a Natural

Strong, broad bone structure with athletic build and moderate height. Broad shoulders, slightly broad hips, and balanced proportions. Strong facial features with broad jawline, large nose, strong cheekbones, evenly spaced eyes, and soft rounded cheeks.

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.

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 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.

Silhouette Description

You need a relaxed, straight outline that flows naturally. When looking at your sketch, the eye travels in a balanced, easy manner. Neither extreme width nor extreme narrowness - a moderate, blunt-edged silhouette.

Key Shapes

  • Balanced proportions between upper and lower body
  • Moderate breadth - not extreme width or narrowness
  • Blunt bone structure without extreme width
  • Relaxed vertical that is not severe
  • Balanced ease in the overall line

Fabric Flow

The imaginary fabric falls in a relaxed, balanced manner. Not pushing out dramatically at curves, not extremely narrow - finding a natural middle ground with blunt edges.

Modern Method: Sketching and Cloth Flow is the most modern method of discovering your Kibbe Image Identity, as written by David Kibbe in his Power of Style (2024) book. Learn more about the sketching approach

Silhouette

Laid-back with slightly angular frame and flowing lines.

Fabrics

Soft structures like cotton or lightweight wool that drape without clinging.

Patterns

Soft-edged geometrics or asymmetric shapes, avoiding busy tiny patterns.

Details

Minimalist and relaxed with functional elements like pockets or soft seams.

T-Shirts

Go for classic, well-fitted tees in natural fabrics like cotton or blends. Simple, clean designs work best—solid colors or subtle graphics. Aim for a comfortable, relaxed fit that isn't too tight or too loose.

Shirts

Choose casual button-downs or soft blouses in natural fabrics like cotton or chambray. Look for clean, simple cuts with a comfortable fit—not too structured, not too slouchy.

Sweaters

Opt for classic, comfortable knits with a balanced fit. Think crew necks, V-necks, or soft cardigans in natural fibers like cotton or wool blends. Avoid overly chunky or overly fitted styles.

Colors & Makeup

Your Colors Depend on Your Season

While your hair cut is determined by your Image Identity (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.
