Physical Features of a Soft Natural
Blunt, slightly broad shoulders with soft rounded flesh and gentle curves. Moderate height with fresh, approachable features. Rounded cheeks, soft jawline, and delicate nose with feminine, natural softness throughout.
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.

Soft 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 Soft 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.

Original Photo
A full-body photo is captured with neutral pose and minimal clothing to accurately assess body proportions.
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 an outline that has breadth through the upper back and then moves around the curve. When one is looking at you, the eye will travel out and then around. Any flow or drape should reveal the curves but not be stiff or too tight. Nothing fussy for you!
Key Shapes
- •Curve + Width combination visible in outline
- •Breadth through upper back/shoulder area
- •Curves at bust and hips push fabric outward
- •Soft, blunt edges (not sharp)
- •Overall impression is soft, relaxed, and curvy
Silhouette Requirements
Primary
Breadth at top moving around curves
Eye Movement
Out and then around
Flow Direction
Reveals curves without restriction
Body Relation
Soft, unconstructed fit that honors width and curves
Fabric Flow
The imaginary fabric shows width at the shoulders/upper back, then curves around the body. The curve is pushed out by bust and hips, creating a flowing S-curve with breadth at top.

What Soft Naturals Should Wear

Slightly unstructured with gentle curves, especially around waist.
Fabrics
Flowing fabrics like silk or lightweight cotton adding yin softness.
Patterns
Relaxed, feminine patterns like soft florals, avoiding harsh geometrics.
Details
Rounded, gentle details like loose draping or rounded edges.
T-Shirts
Choose soft, relaxed tees with a comfortable, slightly loose fit. Look for natural fabrics like cotton or modal, and embrace gentle details like scoop necks or subtle draping.
Shirts
Go for soft, flowing blouses with gentle details—think rolled sleeves, relaxed collars, or subtle ruffles. Natural fabrics like cotton or linen work beautifully, and the fit should be comfortable and easy.

Colors & Makeup
Your Colors Depend on Your Season
