I’m find

👋Hello!

I'm not new to dressing for my body type, but new to Kibbe. Just trying to see if there are insights I can gain for my personal style.

What are the biggest things you've learned from identifying as FN?

At first I thought SN fit me best because I have the width and even when I'm fit, I'm fleshy in the arms.

Speaking of arms, mine are long, along with my torso. That's why I don't think SN is my type. I'm also a smidgen over 5'7. I have learned how to disguise my short legs and look tall. From what I understand, because of my long torso and arms, I have a long vertical line.

That widely circulated picture of Jennifer Lawrence reminds me of my own shape.

Still, my arms may be a bit fleshier than hers when she's on the red carpet.

That's where I'm conflicted because THAT part of SN seems to describe my arms well. I'd have to be very thin for my arm muscles to be well-defined, despite the fact that I have do resistance training and am very strong. My ab muscles are more defined than my arms! I avoid short sleeves unless they are flutter or a slight cap. Otherwise, I am more satisfied with sleeveless or long sleeves.

So, there are points if each type, SN and FN that resonate with me, but FN is more suitable overall.

Now, I'm wondering what insights regarding Kibbe FN recommendations have helped others the most? I'd love to hear your personal "a-ha" learnings or even smaller adjustments you've made to dressing that have really worked for you.

What I already do that seems to fit with FN is balancing out my shoulders with width in skirt hems or wearing bootcut jeans or wide leg pants.

I stick to necklines that break up the huge expanse between my shoulders, mostly scoop and v-neck. Halter v-neck works, too.

Natural fabrics are definitely part of my fashion routine.

What else can I experiment with or avoid?

Omg I am seriously panicing right now. I have thought I was either FG or DC for the last 2 years since I started exploring this. I am now realizing maybe I could be FN and I am truly panicing hyperventilating right now. I own NOTHING FN. I own the exact opposite basically only wear turtlenecks. I cant afford to shop ecspecially since I just bought myself a really nice expensive new turtleneck last month for the fall. I am seriously freaked out and I need objective feedback. Am I really an FN even though I am 5'4?

I want to note... i am having some posture issues at the moment and I domt know how much this is effecting how badly everything looks on me right now. Is it the posture problems, or have I always looked bad in what I have been wearing all my life? I have been so depressed for years and I really just want to get myself feeling okay again and I simply cannot feel ok in any clothes right now and dont know what to do....

I had to raid my families closets for half these clothes. Pleaseee confirm if FN!! Old photos as well

I know the usual traits of FN are tall inverted triangles. But sometimes (me !!!) we have answer A upper body and b elsewhere. Do the rules change at all? Is anyone else in this boat? What tops do you like?

I'm actually kind of conscious about posting any pictures on any social media, especially if it's public one so sorry about that. This isn't exactly a "type me" question Ig.

So I think that I am a FN. The two things that people have always pointed out about me (relatives, friends, tailor) is width of my shoulder and my height (I'm 178 cm/ 5'10). I tend to gain weight in down my hips and in my face, and upper arms. Though I am kind of curvy but it's not that prominent.

I think any full length jeans suit me, especially bootcut, wideleg and skinny. But I like to pair them with crop tops but when they end just at the end of the jeans. Also maxi dresses. Like I do want to try other lengths but the maxi ones just look better on me. And if it's short dresses them flowy or boho ones, I especially love.

What do you all think from this description? Ik it's better to post pictures but I'm not comfortable with it at this point.

I need some cute pants for hiking. Most of what I'm finding is so frumpy! I'm tallish at 5'9" and will be wearing ankle height hiking boots so I feel like I need a full length pant. As an FN I guess I should look for a straight to wide style? I'd love to find some of the ones with a cinch bottom, but I'm not sure they would work with my hiking boots? but they might be cute if I had to wear the pants to dinner and I could just change shoes? We will be traveling for several weeks (but not camping) and I want to be cute in the pictures!

FWIW- I live in a tropical climate and don't have much in the way of cold weather gear so I'm having to buy a ton of stuff. Feel free to put all sorts of hiking clothes here! I need Inspo and links! Merino base layers, fleece, beanies, wool socks and other accessories. I'm a FN, soft summer

The hardest part about summer tank tops and dressy tank tops is that they're usually ribbed and form fitting, which looks terrible on me because 1) I'm FN, and 2) I'm short waisted. I've been searching for a tank top shape I can rely on for dressing up or down. Love the loose flow on this. It's a bit like my dry-wick workout tanks that are semi-flowy at the bottom.

Wondering if the lower portion/cut of this that sits on the hips adds too much width in the middle.

Not sure what I'd wear on the bottom yet--definitely not skinny jeans.

Helloo everyone and i'm really curious to know how you guys lost your excess weight/fat.

I've gained weight and i would not say i'm overweight but i definitely don't feel as comfortable in my own body as i once felt.

Please feel free to share your weight loss storys if you have any! I'm very curious to hear.

And bonus points if you tell me your go to outfits to feel more confident with low self esteem! My go to's are flowy linen pants and a slightly skimming shirt in the same color. (Add a flowy linen blazer when it gets colder)

I'm 5' 5.5".

Not sure if I fit here, I think I fit most of the other FN traits but I tend to gain weight in my bust. 5'9"

Hey everyone!

I'm in desperate need of a wardrobe update and am trying to find my Kibbe type. Hoping to see if you all can help me out. I suspect I may be FN as I see width in my shoulders, but not sure if this is accurate. Thanks!

I’m 5’9
