The season of falling leaves, golden landscapes, and warm colors is almost here, giving us an excellent opportunity to refresh our wardrobe with timeless, practical, and cute pieces that will add variety to our looks. Cozy, intense and inspiring, that’s how I like to describe autumn fashion, which I must say, is my favorite of the year! That’s why I’m going to share with you the best must-have items for this autumn, with a special touch based on your personal Kibbe Body Type!

The Kibbe system categorizes different body types to help us understand which styles suit us best, harmoniously adjusting to our natural body shape without forcing us to achieve a “perfect or standard silhouette.” Plus, understanding more about your figure and what clothes suit you best can be really eye-opening! It will help you feel more comfortable and save you a lot of time when deciding what to wear and even help you make more conscious purchases focused on what you really need. This guide will help you choose clothes that really highlight your best features and make you feel incredibly confident and comfortable.

♡ If you still don’t know your Kibbe, I invite you to take the quiz or book a consultation with us. And to make your look even more complete, we will also give you options that adapt to your Kitchener Essence. ♡

Whether you are a Bold Dramatic, a Soft Romantic or a Free Natural, you will discover the key pieces that will make you look spectacular while enjoying the season.

Let’s explore your ideal autumn style together!

dramatic

IF YOU ARE DRAMATIC YOU LOOK GOOD IN SHARP LINES, ANGULAR STRUCTURES AND HAVE AN ELEGANT AND SOPHISTICATED APPEARANCE. We want you to stand out with a refined and modern style, balancing structure and elegance in every detail.

A structured coat with a straight cut is ideal for the Dramatic type. Preferably it should be long, with a minimalist design and straight lines. Solid colors like black, charcoal gray or navy blue are perfect for a sophisticated and timeless look, although certain shades of striking reds or greens will also work.
Wide-leg pants, made of heavy fabrics such as wool or tweed, enhance the Dramatic’s elongated and structured silhouette. This option is great to combine with heels or boots. These pants are a powerful and very practical choice.
A fitted blazer with defined shoulder pads is essential for adding structure and elegance to any outfit, you can choose it in deep or neutral colors that will accentuate your Dramatic Kibbe.
A midi dress with a straight cut and clean lines is a key piece for fall. Use it in structured fabrics that keep you warm but comfortable and opt for neutral or deep tones that are always versatile and sophisticated. Underneath you can wear a t-shirt or a tight sweater.

Accessories are also an extremely important part of autumn looks, for your Kibbe type we suggest using:

Knee-high boots with heels are a must-have for the Dramatic type. Choose them in black leather or suede for an elegant look that complements both dresses and skirts.
A thin belt at the waist is the perfect accessory to define the silhouette!
Wear a structured leather bag, with clean lines and a minimalist design. It is the ideal complement to maintain elegance and coherence in the look.
Gloves are a super chic accessory for this time of year, you can choose tight-fitting vegan leather ones in dark tones like black or burgundy, or why not a super bright color?They would be great with an all black outfit and are an ideal complement to structured coats.
Finally, a silk scarf in a solid color or with an abstract design and defined lines adds a touch of luxury and sophistication. In fact, it is perfect to complement your coat or blazer.

soft dramatic

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, SOFT DRAMATIC IS CHARACTERIZED BY A COMBINATION OF DRAMATIC AND SOFT FEATURES, RESULTING IN A POWERFUL LOOK BUT WITH A DELICATE TOUCH.

A coat that combines a defined structure with soft details, such as a belt or draped collar, is ideal, and jewel tones or deep neutrals, such as burgundy or emerald green, certainly add a touch of sophistication.
Curve-following knit dresses with soft draping or asymmetrical details are perfect for Soft Dramatics. Opt for rich fabrics and intense colours such as wine or deep blue. You can find great options like the Ana Dress from Eleven Six Knits.
For a dramatic yet soft touch, wear a pencil or midi skirt that has a slight slit or subtle ruffle detail at the hem. Choose fabrics such as silk or velvet for a more luxurious look.
Likewise, a blouse or sweater with wide or flared sleeves, will add drama while maintaining a soft, feminine feel. Keep in mind that details such as bows or ruching at the neckline are a plus.

Autumn outfits also require accessories, which is why we recommend the following for your Kibbe type:

For fall, high-heeled ankle boots, with elegant details like gold buckles or a velvet finish, are ideal for the Soft Dramatic Kibbe, adding height and a touch of luxury that complements the soft, dramatic silhouette.
A medium to large structured bag, in leather with ornate details like metallic appliqués or brocade, adds a refined and dramatic focal point to the outfit.
Belts sometimes go unnoticed, but they can be a powerful accessory. A wide belt, made of velvet or satin fabric, that sits at the waist, is perfect for highlighting curves and adding a touch of opulence to the look. A decorative brooch in the center can add extra drama.
A silk scarf with an intricate print or artistic design in rich, deep hues can be the perfect finishing touch. You can wear it around your neck, in your hair, or tied to your bag to add a pop of color and texture.
Long, soft leather gloves in a deep shade such as burgundy or dark green add an air of sophistication and elegance. They are perfect to pair with coats or dresses, giving a luxurious finishing touch to the look.

flamboyant natural

The Flamboyant Natural type is characterized by having a strong and angular bone structure, with a relaxed but powerful style. We want you to stand out in the fall season with a modern, comfortable and effortless style.

An oversized coat with a relaxed structure is perfect for the Flamboyant Natural, especially if you’re looking for textured fabrics, like heavy wool or tweed, and neutral or earthy colors, like camel or olive green, for a casual yet striking look.
Jeans for fall are essential, so I suggest wearing straight or wide-leg jeans, in a dark or classic wash, which add the casual and comfortable touch that characterizes the Flamboyant Natural. They are ideal to combine with thick sweaters or loose shirts.
For a cold day, a thick sweater, preferably in fabrics like wool or cashmere, with a high or turtleneck, adds warmth and texture to the outfit.
An oversized boyfriend-style shirt or a long tunic in soft fabrics like cotton or linen is a comfortable transitional garment between summer and fall, you can choose it in a solid color or with subtle, casual and modern prints. A good example is the Twiggy Boyfriend Shirt from Neu Nomads.

For your must-have accessories we choose boots, a bag, and other lovely pieces, here are the recommendations:

Chelsea boots with thick soles and a sturdy design are ideal for the Flamboyant Natural, especially in dark tones like black or brown, and a leather or suede finish for a look that combines comfort and style.
A bag that matches our looks is always necessary, so why not try a large tote bag, made of textured leather or thick canvas. I suggest looking for a structured design but without too many embellishments.
A wide leather belt, in a natural tone like brown or black, with a simple but strong buckle, is ideal to define the waist without losing the relaxed and natural essence.
Wool or cashmere scarves are really lovely, large and cozy, made of wool or cashmere, in earth tones like camel, beige or moss green, will add warmth and a touch of natural texture to the autumn look.
Finally, a fedora hat in a neutral color will bring a sophisticated and bohemian touch to the look!

pure natural

The Pure Natural type is characterized by having a balanced bone structure with soft lines and a relaxed and fresh appearance.

For fall, a straight-line coat or a trench coat with a simple cut and not too much structure is perfect for Pure Natural. Look for comfortable materials like cotton or wool, in natural colors like beige, olive green or light grey.
Relaxed trousers or straight-cut jeans are essential for this Kibbe, so opt for soft and comfortable fabrics, like cotton or denim, in medium to dark tones for a practical and effortless look.
For those days when you want to feel cozy, a chunky knit sweater with a relaxed silhouette, preferably in neutral or earth tones, will be really comfortable.
A plaid shirt or a long cotton tunic in soft colors is a basic that looks simple, natural, and beautiful, plus it is super easy to combine and perfect for a relaxed and functional fall look.

These must-haves reflect the simplicity, comfort and naturalness of the Pure Natural style, allowing you to maintain a practical and harmonious style during the autumn season!

Flat leather ankle boots or casual sneakers in neutral shades like brown or beige are comfortable and practical for the Pure Natural, blending perfectly into a casual look.
A medium-sized crossbody bag, made of soft leather or sturdy fabric, in a simple and functional design, is perfect for everyday wear. Remember to choose natural shades like camel, moss green or some other color that reminds you of nature.
As I already mentioned, belts can be a very useful accessory. For example, a leather belt in a simple design, with a discreet buckle, is a great accessory for the Pure Natural.
To complete your outfits on windy days, a light scarf, made of cotton or wool, in neutral shades or with a simple pattern, adds warmth without complicating the look. This is a versatile accessory that can be worn in many ways.
Last but not least, a simple knitted beanie or cotton hat will keep you feeling totally warm in a cozy and functional way.

soft natural

This Kibbe looks great in soft lines and pieces with moderate structure, with a relaxed and feminine appearance.

A coat or cardigan with a soft silhouette, that lightly follows the lines of the body, and feminine details like a belt or decorative buttons, is absolutely adorable for the Soft Natural. Look for warm and soft colours like beige, dusty pink or light grey.
Soft trousers, in fabrics like corduroy or cotton, or jeans with a relaxed cut that follow the curves without being too tight, are perfect for your Kibbe, I recommend opting for mid-tones like denim blue, brown or olive green.
You clearly need a sweater for autumn, so a fine knit sweater, with details like a round neck, subtle embroidery or buttons on the cuffs, will be a smart choice that adds a feminine and comfortable touch to the outfit. Soft shades like cream, lavender or peach are ideal. Check out the Becca Cardi from Eleven Six.
In addition to this, a blouse in a flowing fabric, like silk or viscose, with soft details like ruffles, pleats or a bow at the neck, will surely highlight your soft and natural Kibbe. Soft colors or delicate floral prints are a great choice!

These are the accessories that will capture your Soft Natural Kibbe, allowing you to stand out during the fall season with a comfortable, delicate and harmonious style:

First let’s talk about shoes; mid-heeled boots, combining comfort with a feminine touch, are a classic for Soft Natural Kibbe, just consider choosing a design in soft leather or suede, with details such as a subtle buckle or bow, in neutral or pastel tones like this example from DoneGood.
For Soft Natural, a hobo bag, which has a soft structure and a slightly rounded shape, is a good choice, so to be 100% consistent we will look for it in materials such as supple leather or suede, in colours such as taupe, camel or powder pink.
When you feel like something is missing from your look, a thin belt, made of soft leather or fabric, with a small buckle and subtle details, can get you out of a bind.
Whether in pastel tones or with a delicate print, a light scarf or bandana, made of silk or soft wool, will add a touch of colour and softness to the autumn look. It is also perfect to wrap around the neck or use as a hair accessory!
Finally, I can suggest you small, feminine earrings, such as delicate hoops or pearls, trying to express a natural elegance without being overwhelming.

dramatic classic

For the Dramatic Classic type we are looking for a combination of clean and defined lines with an elegant and sophisticated appearance.

First of all, you need a warm garment, and in your case, a coat with a structured and elegant cut, of medium length, is perfect! Look for a design with clean and defined lines, in classic colors such as black, grey or navy blue, for a sophisticated look.
Straight-cut trousers in fabrics such as wool or crepe are ideal to maintain the structure and elegance of the Dramatic Classic Kibbe, in a refined and timeless way.
Next, I can mention a dress which follows the silhouette in a structured way! Always remember to look for garments that look refined and slightly highlight your waist.
Another autumn basic for you is a blouse with a precise cut, preferably in a soft, warm and structured fabric such as cashmere or wool, this garment definitely follows the line of luxury and sophistication.

These are our autumn accessory suggestions:

Pointed-toe pumps are ideal for the Dramatic Classic as they add a sleek and refined structure to the look, especially if you choose materials such as leather or patent leather in classic colours such as black, beige or dark red.
A structured handbag, in smooth leather, in a medium size and with a clean design, is the perfect complement to the Dramatic Classic.
And why not complement your outfits with a belt? A thin leather piece, with a simple but elegant metal buckle, is ideal for defining the waist on dresses or coats, while maintaining the refined structure of the look.
A structured necklace, such as a rigid metal necklace or one with a geometric design, adds a touch of controlled drama to the look. Complement with elegant earrings, such as small hoops or earrings with angular details, to maintain harmony.
And finally the most chic touch! Leather gloves, in a fitted and elegant design, are a must-have for the Dramatic Classic during the autumn. Opt for classic colours such as black, brown or burgundy for a sophisticated and coherent look.

soft classic

To highlight its natural features during the autumn, Soft Classic needs a combination of soft lines and a balanced structure, with an elegant and feminine appearance.

For your Kibbe, a coat with a soft but structured silhouette, that delicately follows the lines of the body, is more than perfect! Look for a mid-length design, with subtle details such as a belt or decorative buttons, in neutral tones such as beige, pearl grey or navy blue.
A skirt, whether pencil or midi, with a retro style, that has a classic structure but with a soft touch, will be a super useful base piece to create many outfits, the fabric can be slightly textured. Shades such as light grey, burgundy or chocolate brown are excellent for autumn. You can find some beautiful examples in Lily Silk´s store.
A blouse that has a classic design but with feminine details, such as a rounded collar or a bow at the neck or tapered sleeves that gathers at the wrists, is a must have. Look for soft fabrics such as silk or crepe, and colours such as ivory, powder pink or sage green.
Finally, straight-cut trousers, in a soft and flowing fabric, are essential for the Soft Classic. Opt for fabrics such as light wool or crepe, in neutral or soft tones such as light grey, beige or slate blue.

Among the best autumn accessories for you are:

One of the top suggestions for you is a pair of mid-heeled shoes, with a rounded toe and a delicate design. Mainly in materials such as soft leather or suede, in classic colours such as nude, pearl grey or burgundy to match the season. Take a look at Vivaia´s designs!
Of course, a bag is an accessory that should not be missing, both for comfort and style. So you can opt for a structured design but with a feminine touch, slightly curved or with subtle details in the stitching.

Jewelry is also an important point when styling our outfits, for you, a delicate necklace, such as a thin chain with a small pendant or a pearl choker, is perfect! Complement it with small and feminine earrings, such as delicate hoops or stud earrings with a touch of shine.

For the Flamboyant Gamine, a short, structured jacket, such as a leather biker or a tweed jacket with eye-catching details, is more than perfect! Look for a design with a slim fit and asymmetrical or metallic details, in colors such as black, red or electric blue.
Capri pants, which end just above the ankle, or cropped corduroy pants are a good choice for this fall. Focus on designs with a modern or bold touch, such as graphic prints, checks or stripes, in vibrant or contrasting shades such as black and white.
