Humans all have different silhouettes. Some people have shorter torsos and other people have longer torsos. In the case of Kibbe body types, having a longer or shorter torso will directly influence a person's Kibbe body type.

If you have more questions about the classification of Kibbe body types or Kibbe face types or styles like this one about torso length, you have many posts at the end of this article that will answer many questions.

Having a longer or shorter torso will directly affect how the clothes we wear fit us. And as Kibbe explains, we must respect this length of the elements of our body, whether short or long. That is, we have to wear long clothes the longer our body is, and shorter clothes the shorter it is. But I explain this to you more deeply in my Guide to the 13 Kibbe Styles on my shop.

Long, short and similar Kibbe Torso features

If there is one thing I love, it is giving a simple solution to all the complex doubts related to the subject of Kibbe bodies and style. In the case of Kibbe's long torso or short torso, the solution is simple, as you will find that a short torso implies long legs, and a long torso implies short legs.

What does this mean? This specifically means that if, for example, your torso is short and your legs are long, it means that your limbs are long. Long limbs (legs and arms) classify us in that aspect into the yang masculine body types such as the Kibbe Natural, Dramatic, Soft Dramatic and Dramatic Classic body types.

In the case of a long torso and short legs, it means that we will be in the yin feminine Kibbe body types, such as those of the Gamine family, those of the Romantic family and the Soft Classic.

In the case of legs and a torso of similar length we will then surely be classified into one of the Kibbe Dramatic body types.

But not only the length of the limbs directly influences our Kibbe body type, but also many other characteristics we have to take into account, and that is that we do have long limbs but we are not tall people and our limbs are rounded , and the narrow hips and voluptuous waist among other characteristics, it is most likely that we are a yin feminine body and not a yang masculine body within the Kibbe classification.

What I want to explain to you, and I want you to understand, is that it is not just one parameter, but there are many that we must take into account. In the end it is a set of parameters, which can change your result. You have my calculator to find your Kibbe body type without thinking or making the task difficult for you here.

Remember that regardless of your Kibbe body type, your Kibbe face type may be different as I explain here in this article about Kibbe faces.
