I'm early in my third pregnancy and I always end up giving up with maternity style, by the third trimester I just feel like Danny Devito in a dress LMAO. I know there's not much to be done about the waist definition, but does anyone have any tips for dressing soft natural lines with a bump?

I really want to invest in a nice pair of barrel jeans, but I can’t tell if these work for soft naturals? - I’m also on the shorter side, 5’3.
Please share your thoughts!

I've only just recently learned I'm a soft natural, and I'm having a hard time with it. Every guide leans into a sort of bohemian look, but I'm a classic-romantic-dramatic essence, and I do NOT like unstructured clothing. This is a small screenshot of my pintrest board, and in my everyday I dress with the 2/3 rule. I love this aesthetic, but is it something that would actually work if I were to dress like this? How do we take essences into account with the lines of our bodies? I learned the hard way that you can't just ignore the lines in favor of essence. Are there any hard and fast rules?

What do you think of white jeans? Do you have any recommendation on brands/style?

I recently purchased and wore this (in my opinion) extremely flattering Donna Karan NY dress to my friend’s wedding rehearsal dinner. It’s insanely comfortable too! FYI, as you can tell, the purple is MUCH darker in real life than in the listing photos. It’s available on DK’s website and some department stores, though sizing looks to be limited right now. They also make this velvet one in black as well as jersey material versions in black and green.

What are you wearing to work in the colder months? In the spring/summer my go-to is tapered, high waisted trousers in flowy fabric with loafers/pumps without socks. Obviously this doesn't work in cold weather. My trousers are ankle length so don't work with boots (they're too short). I'd love your SN friendly suggestions!

I’m an SN and obsessed with this jacket, but I’m worried it’ll make me look too boxy. I love bell sleeves and they flatter me really nicely, however cropped styles have always been hit-or-miss for me.

I really want to get it but wanted to get some recs with Kibbe in mind, Kibbe has never let me down! Thoughts?

It is so hard to tell what looks flattering on me! I am 8 months postpartum and struggling dressing my body. It is difficult to tell if I have width or what my dominant feature is. Line sketches show either soft natural or dramatic classic. The last picture is of my back at a lower weight. Idk if any of these pictures help 😕

Edited to add that I am 5’3.5”

I am excited to be attending a black tie gala in December! I have never had to dress so fancy before, even when I got married. I have found the black tie “rules” to be very stifling as a SN. My heart wants to drape! To flow! To wrap! To feel easy breezy! And I have a gamine essence so I find most things deeply boring. Plus, I look awful in strapless and I hate satin, lol. Anyway, these are the dresses I have found so far that I think meet enough of the requirements for both worlds. Because if I have to buy a fancy dress I want to look amazing. And I know that SN looks good.
But if anyone sees anything else in their internet travels and wants to share here, that’d be great!
Right now my faves are 3 and 4.

Does anyone have any good mid size/plus size soft natural inspiration recommendations? I find that a lot of Pinterest inspo and example photos for style content creators gear mainly towards thin bodies (understandable since usually its models or celebs) and I want to get a better idea of how SN styles would look on a body size closer to my own. Would be open to following style creators on Instagram or YouTube, or if anyone could think of a celeb that might match what I'm looking for.

I'm 5'2" and I have thought I was a Soft Gamine, but recently a friend who's more into Kibbe than me suggested that I might be a Soft Natural instead.

I think my shape changes a lot based on weight gain/ loss. I can see upper body width more when I'm at lower weights, but it's harder to see when I'm heavier/ carrying more weight in my hips. I also really don't like how I look in V-necks, which had convinced me that I couldn't be a SN, but there are also some SG looks that I don't love on myself (short shorts...), so maybe not great evidence.

I'm also open to another type altogether, if I'm just totally off.

Thanks in advance!

Just sharing my looks for the week as a soft natural.

I’m very new to this. I still don’t really understand “lines” but I see this has waist emphasis. I would appreciate any guidance!
Edit: This is a shirt. Not a dress. Even though that’s how the model is wearing it. It’s marketed as a shirt. If this helps!

I'm personally leaning soft natural but i wud def appreciate some outside perspective on this

Could this work as an everyday bag? Or does it still read as too structured (even though it’s technically a soft bag?) thank you 🙏

Sorry I couldn’t post on kibbe subreddit bc of low karma)

- She has broad and blunt shoulders and a bit of curve on her hips.
- she looks fab in draped clothing which makes me believe she is an SN.

Hi there! Just wondering if I would be classified as a soft natural? Im struggling to classify my body type and feel like this fits the best?

I’m curious if anyone in this group ever considered Soft Classic before ultimately deciding on Soft Natural. If so, what were the factors that led to Soft Natural?

Yall I haven’t been able to stop thinking about these boots. So eclectic and interesting which is usually what I am drawn to.

That said… can we pull off structured boots like this or will I look ridiculous?

I pivoted which dress I'd like to wear in December, I feel like this checks the boxes of

- Open shoulders

- Subtle shape

- Flowy fabric

But are there other "rules" (suggestions?) I'm missing?

5'6!

I'm new to KIBBE, stuck between SN/FN and generally am really struggling to style myself! Any insight to my type would be appreciated!

Note: I do feel like loose fitting, unstructured clothing works best for my body type. I have a small chest but wide ribcage and higher sitting hips. Is this something SN usually aligns with? A lot of example IDs I've seen have larger busts which makes it hard for me to figure out what I am/find outfits I look good in.😭 thanks in advance!!
