Natural Essence

The Style Essences allow us to know how we want to be perceived so that we can express our personality more authentically. For example, you may belong to the Natural type (Kibbe morphology) but prefer a Dramatic Essence, which will create a blend of the two. You can also combine several Essences.

Don't pay too much attention to the physical descriptions, as there may be several exceptions. Trust your instincts. If this is a new subject for you, I suggest starting with the different Kibbe types.

The Natural Essence is Yang. People who possess it give an impression of naturalness and freshness. Their clothing styles reflect simplicity and comfort. Although it is Yang like the Dramatic Essence, it is more relaxed in contrast to the intensity of the latter.

The Natural Essence is ideal for physiques with long, slender bodies. It's not necessarily a question of being muscular, but simply of having an active appearance, as opposed to a small, delicate figure. The facial features are generally blunt, such as the nose, cheekbones and jawline.

To reflect this essence, you can incorporate the following elements into your outfits.


Unstructured Shapes

The forms that best correspond to this Essence are undefined, irregular and raw.


Casual Cuts

Simple, loose shapes are ideal. The straight or flowing cuts, without too much detail, are perfect.


Layering

People with this Essence are not easily drowned out by layering clothes. They can combine different colours, textures and even multiple jewels.


Natural Materials

Natural, raw materials such as wool, cotton and linen are ideal. The most iconic are jeans.


Natural Colours

The colours of this Essence should reflect nature. So opt for forest greens, muddy browns, earthy reds and sandy beiges.


Natural Patterns

Choose irregularly shaped patterns that reflect nature or bohemian motifs.


Hairstyles and Makeup

The hairstyles should be as natural as possible, in a structured mess. Generally, your natural colour is the one that suits you best. The makeup should be light and soft, highlighting the eyes or lips.
