Today I want to talk to you about the clothes and accessories that you should not wear under any circumstances when following your Kibbe style. You know that respecting certain features in your wardrobe is essential to stay consistent with your Kibbe style. Failure to do so can result in a look that does not align with your essence.

Inappropriate Clothing

Here are some examples of clothing that may contradict the principles of the Gamine style:

  1. Too voluminous clothing: Clothing that Adding a lot of volume, like oversized coats or palazzo pants, can hide the natural body structure that the Gamine needs to highlight.
  2. Clothes with overly simple and shapeless cuts: The Gamine benefits from structured and defined cuts; cuts that are too basic or straight can look boring and lacking in personality.
  3. Large, expansive prints: Large prints can overload the typical petite figure of a Gamine, while small ones and sharp ones are more favorable.
  4. Long and fluid garments: Dresses or skirts that fall below the knee can visually drag and detract from the dynamism of the Gamine look.
  5. Heavy, thick fabrics: Materials such as thick wool may be too heavy for the delicacy required by the Gamine style.
  6. Highly ornate clothing: Although the Gamine can handle playful details, excessive embellishments can be overwhelming and distract from the whole.
  7. Unstructured Blouses or Shirts: Pieces without a clear outline may not align with the precise and adapted aesthetics of the Gamine.

Inappropriate Accessories

Accessories must be carefully selected to complement the playful and structured style of the Gamine:

  1. Very large or heavy jewelry: Large pieces can dominate the figure and take away from the subtlety that the Gamine celebrates.
  2. Large, bulky bags: A bag that is too large can throw off the ideal proportion for a Gamine, opting instead for something proportional to its scale.
  3. Shoes with excessive decorations: Too much detail or decorations on the shoes can be distracting of the overall cohesion of the outfit.
  4. Wide, ostentatious belts: A wide belt can cut the silhouette inappropriately, especially on a Gamine body.
  5. Large, robust watches: Watches should be more delicate so as not to compete with the scale of the Gamine.
  6. Overly elaborate hair accessories: Large headpieces or highly ornate can appear disproportionate compared to the clean, sharp lines of the Gamine style.
  7. Large frame sunglasses: Large frames can overwhelm the face, while styles smaller and more geometric are ideal.
