If this sounds confusing, the tips below should give you a good foundation as to how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f5e0e0\">Before reading further though, please know that the following tips are merely guidelines, not rules.&nbsp;They\u2019ll provide you examples but ultimately, you can bend or break them as long as you\u2019re honoring the Yin-Yang balance of a Soft Natural <strong>(soft Yang or Natural with Yin or Romantic undercurrent)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f5e0e0\"><strong>Do NOT<\/strong>&nbsp;focus on each piece of the outfit but on the&nbsp;<strong>outfit\u2019s&nbsp;overall look.&nbsp;<\/strong>Remember, the approach needs to be holistic.&nbsp;Your torso is connected to your lower body and vice versa, as with your clothing to your makeup and accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without further ado, here are some tips on how to dress a Soft Natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.&nbsp;Honor your Natural side first, then Romantic second.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s one thing you need to remember when dressing a Soft Natural, it\u2019s this:&nbsp;<strong>Natural first, Romantic second<\/strong>. As long as you follow this principle every time you shop and put together an outfit, you\u2019ll never get lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, you are a&nbsp;Natural (soft Yang)&nbsp;<strong>more&nbsp;<\/strong>than a&nbsp;Romantic (extreme Yin).&nbsp;Meaning, for your silhouette to look harmonious,&nbsp;you first have to highlight your broadness and bluntness <strong>above all else<\/strong>&nbsp;then only add your Romantic side as an afterthought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The following tips should help you accomplish this. But to make sense of the following descriptions, it\u2019s important that you first understand what\u2019s Yin and what\u2019s Yang.&nbsp;This article should show you visual examples:&nbsp;<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/answearable.com\/yin-vs-yang-examples-of-kibbe-body-types\/\" target=\"_blank\">Yin vs Yang Examples of Kibbe Body Types<\/a><\/strong>. Otherwise, read on.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Accommodate your shoulders.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a aria-label=\"Pure Natural (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/answearable.com\/how-to-dress-a-natural-kibbe-body-type\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Pure Naturals<\/a> and <a aria-label=\"Flamboyant Natural (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/answearable.com\/how-to-dress-a-flamboyant-natural-kibbe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Flamboyant Naturals<\/a> have broad, blunt, and prominent shoulders. The same goes for you, Soft Natural. Although your shoulders may be slightly softened by your Yin undercurrent, it&#8217;s imperative that the outfits you wear always accommodate the unmistakable width of your shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How exactly do you accommodate your shoulders? You can do so by simply wearing pieces that do <strong>NOT<\/strong> restrict or hide the expanse of your shoulders. Meaning, wide, loose, and open necklines are perfect for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<center> <a id=\"0MP5Vu7cQRN9wd27zb2q7w\" class=\"gie-slideshow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/858028822\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'0MP5Vu7cQRN9wd27zb2q7w',sig:'iAR4ECIODAct8RzcYbsSO1IDSYTjcARbQXkq-6_S0UQ=',w:'417px',h:'594px',items:'858028822,108625842,84342299,467688376,1200044327',caption: false ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src=\"\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\" async=\"\"><\/script> <\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>Does this mean you can&#8217;t wear tight and closed necklines? <strong>No<\/strong>. You absolutely can, as long as the stretch and shape allow sufficient space for your shoulders to showcase themselves as among the main highlights of your figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might think this is counterproductive. You&#8217;re probably told many times that broad shoulders are masculine (and ugly) while narrow shoulders are feminine (and pretty). But this is simply not the case for all broad-shouldered women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you wear an outfit meant to &#8220;downplay&#8221; your shoulders, your proportion becomes forced and unnatural, leading to an unflattering look. Remember those times when you know something is amiss with your outfit but for the life of you, you can&#8217;t figure out what? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only when you highlight your shoulders will you look graceful without even trying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kibbe is all about showing what Mother nature gave you. Only when you start hiding your true shape will you start to revolutionize your clothing. If you&#8217;re unconvinced, try it yourself and see the huge difference that you should&#8217;ve seen a long time ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Keep your silhouette soft, flowing, and unconstructed.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the part where you honor your Yin undercurrent. <strong>Pay attention to the edges of your outfit \u2014 your shoulders, neckline, waist, hemline<\/strong>. This is especially important for a Soft Natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you should keep your shoulders prominent and broad to honor your soft Yang, you must keep their edges soft and rounded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<center> <a id=\"PZ4LYJqYRKt8I4syx107gw\" class=\"gie-slideshow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/460221364\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'PZ4LYJqYRKt8I4syx107gw',sig:'UmESPhtfNZi_vnHXtCn0VfUUU_n3XMvzaN2-LTkQPW8=',w:'391px',h:'594px',items:'460221364,119393136,185584960,105363068,105363125',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src=\"\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\" async=\"\"><\/script><\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>When wearing tailored pieces, go for ones with soft and blunt-edged shoulders and stay away from sharp-edged ones.

You look your best when they&#8217;re prominent and rounded. Your hairstyle should be soft, free, and <strong>loosely layered<\/strong>, creating a slightly tousled and softly sensual look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Keep your waist defined.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While Flamboyant Naturals can rock an outfit with or without waist definition, it isn&#8217;t the case for Soft Naturals. Because your undercurrent is Yin, you must ensure that waist definition is always part of the equation. Loose-fitting pieces devoid of waist definition tend to look matronly on you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center> <a id=\"5iFDn4bQRl9ZdkhQnZCFkw\" class=\"gie-slideshow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/833815634\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'5iFDn4bQRl9ZdkhQnZCFkw',sig:'BliFlQRZCUvJioAfZdIn5SkAeHRb-HCWitF--0PxNeQ=',w:'395px',h:'594px',items:'833815634,110004074,453887729,111151105,1176437583',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src=\"\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\" async=\"\"><\/script> <\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, a more relaxed and loosely-defined waist looks better than a tightly-cinched one. You could rock a slightly blousy effect at the waist, with the top draped over the waistline, or a slightly dropped waist as long as the silhouette is fluid. Still, know that you can switch back and forth between loose and fitted depending on your outfit&#8217;s overall look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Separates look gorgeous on you.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An obvious use of separates looks flattering on you. Jackets should be unconstructed, soft, and always showing the waist (but not necessarily emphasizing it as a Romantic line would.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for skirts with soft outlines, either full or flared that are flat in the hip area. Straight skirts that are lightweight, draped, or slightly tapered are also great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center> <a id=\"nLFTK45pTuFxlkLmDNwQoQ\" class=\"gie-slideshow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/512136892\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'nLFTK45pTuFxlkLmDNwQoQ',sig:'nfxrBY5PT3Fny6koVG8KtPvz-g9Mtu8m7e9FwumFrFI=',w:'381px',h:'594px',items:'512136892,504198414',caption: false ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src=\"\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\" async=\"\"><\/script> <\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>Pants, on the other hand, should be lightweight and slightly draped, with a bit of soft-detail or ornate trim (gathers, shirring, soft pleats).

The shinier the fabric, the less detail there should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Opt for soft and flowing prints and patterns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best prints for a Soft Natural are softly rounded shapes that are abstract and flowing. They could be watercolor-blended or vibrant, as long as they are slightly irregular and soft-edged. Size could be moderate to slightly large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center> <a id=\"8EhucBfSTjpv9R6T2IMgtQ\" class=\"gie-slideshow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1148842699\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'8EhucBfSTjpv9R6T2IMgtQ',sig:'iH-7ntw30WT9CeyPIkDAh_8e790aoZTMKgFU3GbV180=',w:'475px',h:'594px',items:'1148842699,461722541,1138010956,906276016,1181388872',caption: false ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src=\"\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\" async=\"\"><\/script><\/center>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Soft_Naturals_should_avoid\"><\/span>What Soft Naturals should avoid<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing what to avoid is as crucial as knowing what to wear.&nbsp;Hence the following guidelines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>stiff belts<\/li><li>overly fitted silhouette <\/li><li>symmetrical silhouette<\/li><li>crisply structured bags<\/li><li>cropped bolero jackets <\/li><li>animated, perky details <\/li><li>sharp, severe silhouette<\/li><li>small, symmetrical prints<\/li><li>stiff, flat, or flimsy fabrics <\/li><li>wide, shapeless silhouette<\/li><li>severe, angular geometrics<\/li><li>overly fitted and fussy detail<\/li><li>dull, monochromatic schemes<\/li><li>extremely angular accessories  <\/li><li>crisped, fitted, and sleek styles<\/li><li>long, straight, pencil-slim skirts <\/li><li>heavy pieces that hide the body <\/li><li>sharply\/ severely tailored pieces<\/li><li>overly intricate and ornate prints<\/li><li>overly fitted skirts with excess trim<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, avoid anything that is too Yang (sharp and angular) or too Yin (ornate and fitted) or anything that goes against your broad and blunt bone structure.&nbsp;Your ultimate goal as a Soft Natural is to match your primary soft Yang bones (Natural) while honoring your Yin (Romantic) undercurrent in small doses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_a_Soft_Natural_doesnt_wear_her_lines\"><\/span>When a Soft Natural doesn\u2019t wear her lines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<center> <a id=\"N6axfCqtTDtZlQIeZGZC9A\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1182182831\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'N6axfCqtTDtZlQIeZGZC9A',sig:'mNc9KG834lUEQ8Kvd11UytsRalC5kfJcQqWUbzjpEWg=',w:'427px',h:'594px',items:'1182182831',caption: false ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src=\"\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\" async=\"\"><\/script> <\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we have Kim Basinger wearing a suit. I&#8217;m sure you would agree that this outfit isn&#8217;t her personal best for the sole reason that the suit is too boxy and shapeless to honor her Yin.

Unfortunately for her, the dress is too ornate, full of gathers, and the neckline straight and sharp. The Romantic elements are present but the Natural is nowhere to be found. This dress would look great on a Romantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Note_when_styling_a_Soft_Natural\"><\/span>Note when styling a Soft Natural<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Know that clothes alone&nbsp;<strong>do NOT<\/strong>&nbsp;have a Kibbe type.&nbsp;Therefore, avoid Kibbe-typing a piece of clothing based on its appearance when unworn or worn by other women other than yourself. This practice limits the great outfits you could have worn!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Just because an outfit looks great on a Soft Natural doesn\u2019t mean it wouldn\u2019t look great on other Kibbe types&nbsp;<strong>and vice versa<\/strong>. For instance, contrary to popular belief, bodycon dresses aren\u2019t only exclusive to Romantics, nor is Bohemian only exclusive to Naturals.&nbsp;Any body type can actually wear a Bohemian and a bodycon dress and look great.&nbsp;They would just look different from one another but with the right fabric and customization, any body type can pull off most designs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Meaning, don\u2019t be scared to explore and experiment.&nbsp;The system was made not to box you in but to liberate you so you can present your unique expression to the world.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The goal is to know the principles first then marry those principles to your own taste instead of following a one-size-fits-all rule.&nbsp;For even two Soft Naturals could look different from each other, not to mention have completely different tastes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>As with dressing any body type,&nbsp;<strong>do not focus on each piece of the outfit.&nbsp;Instead, focus mainly on the overall feel and look of the outfit<\/strong>. For a Soft Natural, it\u2019s being mainly being prominent, broad, and blunt with small doses of Romantic to complement your Yin aspect.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What now?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Need a shopping guide for Soft Natural?
