The framework
13 types across 5 families.
David Kibbe’s system reads your natural balance of Yin (soft, rounded) and Yang (sharp, elongated). KibbeStyle places you precisely — then shows you how to dress for it.
Dramatic
Yang-dominant — long, sharp, and striking, built on a narrow, angular frame.
Natural
Yang softened by ease — broad, blunt bone structure with a relaxed, free spirit.
Classic
Balanced Yin and Yang — symmetrical, moderate, and effortlessly refined.
Gamine
A spirited blend of opposites — petite, with sharp and soft features in vivid contrast.
Romantic
Yin-dominant — soft, rounded, and lush, with delicate features and curves.
Privacy first

Most “AI” style apps upload your photos to a server. KibbeStyle doesn’t. Our optional photo analysis runs entirely on your device using Apple’s on-device vision — there’s no upload, no cloud processing, and no account required to get your result.

Questions
Kibbe body types, answered.
What is a Kibbe body type?
A Kibbe body type describes the natural balance of Yin (soft, rounded, delicate) and Yang (sharp, elongated, bold) in your bone structure, flesh and facial features. David Kibbe’s system sorts that balance into 13 image identities across 5 families, each with its own flattering lines, fabrics and silhouettes.
How do I find my Kibbe body type?
Take a calibrated test that reads your balance of Yin and Yang across bone structure, body and face. The Kibbe Body Type app maps you across all 13 types and can add optional, fully on-device photo analysis for extra accuracy — your photos never leave your phone.
How many Kibbe body types are there?
There are 13 Kibbe body types grouped into 5 families: Dramatic, Natural, Classic, Gamine and Romantic. They range from the most Yang (Dramatic) to the most Yin (Romantic), with blended types in between.
Is the Kibbe body type test free?
Yes. The test and your basic result are always free with no surprise paywall. Optional extras — private on-device photo analysis and deep style guides — are available if you want to go further.
Is Kibbe based on weight or body shape?
No. Kibbe is about your overall Yin/Yang essence — your bone structure and proportion — not your weight, height or dress size. Two people of very different sizes can share the same Kibbe type.
How is Kibbe different from other body-type systems?
Most systems (hourglass, pear, apple) only describe where you carry weight. Kibbe reads your whole vertical line and bone structure, which is why it gives styling advice that actually works — it tells you which lines and silhouettes harmonise with your frame.
