Bestie, you took the style quiz — you clicked, you debated between “soft curls” and “sleek bob,” you wondered if you could pick roses and ruffles — and BOOM. The result is in:
You’re Romantic. Like, the Romantic. As in soft, elegant, ultra-feminine, main-character-in-a-Victorian-love-story type of vibe. Honestly? Iconic.
Take our free Kibbe Body Type Quiz to find out your exact type in under 2 minutes!
So let’s break it down. What does it actually mean to be the Romantic style type (besides “I was born to wear lace”)? And more importantly, how do you build a wardrobe that says, “Yes, I came to seduce the world, but gently.”
What Is the Romantic Style Type?
In the land of Kibbe and classic style archetypes, Romantic means you have a curvy, feminine body with delicate bones, soft flesh, and an alluring, graceful energy. Think: hourglass figure, round cheeks, full lips, sparkly eyes, and a walk that just glides.
You might have been told to “tone it down” growing up because you looked “too much.” But here? We say turn it up. You are not too much. You are perfectly lush, feminine, and glowing.
Romantic Style Guide: Dressing the Dream
Here’s how to dress like the ethereal, feminine force you are. This is your Romantic style playbook, so save it, pin it, print it — tattoo it (okay maybe not that far).
1. Soft Silhouettes Only
Flowy dresses, body-hugging curves, draped fabric — anything that follows your natural shape. You’re not here for square blazers or boxy cuts. You’re the reason bias-cut skirts exist.
2. Fabrics That Flirt
Silk, satin, chiffon, lace, soft knits — you want fabrics that move when you do. Basically, if it could be worn by a Disney princess or a Parisian poet’s muse, it’s probably for you.
3. Details Matter (and Yours Should Be Soft & Pretty)
We’re talking ruffles, bows, florals, ruching, draping, sweetheart necklines, puff sleeves. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s “too much.” They’re just not ready for this level of grace.
4. Color Me Rosy
Your best shades are rich, romantic, and soft: think blush pink, wine red, lavender, cream, dusty rose, deep teal. Anything that sounds like a candle scent = yes.
What NOT to Wear (With Love)
Let’s just say, not every trend was made for you — and that’s okay!
- Harsh minimalism? Nope. You’re not a geometric sculpture. You’re a poem in motion.
- Oversized streetwear? Cute on TikTok teens, tragic on you. (It swallows your softness!)
- Boxy tailoring? Girl. You deserve better than looking like a rectangle.
Hair & Makeup Vibes
Go soft, glowy, and romantic.
Loose curls, vintage waves, soft buns with a few tendrils falling out (on purpose).
Makeup? Dewy blush, fluttery lashes, softly defined brows, glossy lips — basically, if it looks like you might start writing love letters at any moment, you’re nailing it.
A Quote for You, Romantic Queen
“Elegance is the only beauty that never fades.” – Audrey Hepburn
And let’s be honest — elegance practically pours out of you. You just need clothes that honor it.
Now That You Know You’re Romantic…
Please, please stop buying “cool-girl minimalist” pieces and wondering why you feel like a sad potato. You were born to wear floral wrap dresses, velvet heels, silk scarves, and anything that makes you feel like you might be kissed in a garden.
This is your sign to create a wardrobe that says:
“I’m soft, I’m powerful, I’m captivating — and yes, I absolutely wear perfume to the grocery store.”
What’s one outfit that makes you feel like you should be drinking tea in a sunroom, waiting for a handwritten letter?
