“Creative, girly, unique”
There is something charmingly nostalgic about The Old Soul, a style that feels timeless and filled with quiet wonder. This Essence Blend embodies a soft, whimsical nature, like a character from a forgotten fairy tale who finds beauty in the simple and sentimental. With the playful curiosity of Gamine, the delicate sweetness of Ingenue, and the ethereal charm of Angelic, this aesthetic is a fusion of vintage innocence and artistic emotionality.
Imagine someone living in a cozy cabin, surrounded by books, handmade trinkets, and the warmth of tradition, but with a hint of otherworldly dreaminess. Whether through soft fabrics, lace details, delicate florals, or flowing silhouettes with an air of nostalgia, The Old Soul is filled with a sense of magic, like a story waiting to be told.
The essences of Gamine, Ingenue, and Angelic, are fundamental to creating the unique aesthetic of “The Old Soul.” Each of these essences brings specific qualities that, when fused, form a totally balanced style.
But also, you should know that this style is not static! Rather, it changes and adapts according to each person’s Kibbe type, so the mixture of essences together with your Kibbe will allow you to look and express yourself through fashion, in a unique way.
Depending on your Kibbe type, you will know if your look will maintain elegance and simplicity, but perhaps with more dramatic lines? Focusing on the delicacy in the details? Or why not with a more flirtatious and playful touch?
As you can see, this fusion of essences and their adaptation to each Kibbe type allows the style of The Old Soul to feel effortlessly nostalgic, delicate, and unique. It celebrates the individuality of each person while maintaining a common thread of vintage charm, whimsical softness, and enchanting beauty.

Gamine
Ingenue + Angelic
=
The Gamine Old Soul
(when Gamine is the main essence)
When Gamine is the main essence in The Old Soul Aesthetic, the style becomes playful, nostalgic, and full of unexpected details. Cropped and structured silhouettes characterize it, but always with a touch of sweetness, such as Peter Pan collars, puffed sleeves, or vintage buttons.
Garments can include short, retro-inspired dresses, strappy skirts, bow-tied blouses, and knitted sweaters with rustic yet charming textures. Colors tend to be soft and nostalgic, with a palette of powdery pastels, creams, and warm browns, evoking the feeling of an old photograph. Fabrics such as linen, embroidered cotton, and velvet bring a sense of warmth and authenticity.
To suit each Kibbe Type, lines, and structures can be adjusted: Gamines can play with stark contrasts and small, detailed pieces, Romantics can soften the style and add more delicacy, while Dramatics can incorporate sharp elements such as blazers or garments with angular details.

Ingenue
Gamine + Angelic
=
The Ingenue Old Soul
(when Ingenue is the main essence)
When Ingenue is the main essence in The Old Soul, the style becomes a reflection of sweetness, nostalgia, and ethereal charm. It is made up of garments with soft, rounded lines, with romantic details such as lace collars, delicate ruffles, and puffed sleeves. Midi dresses with marked waists, flared skirts and knitted sweaters with delicate textures create a cozy and timeless aesthetic.
The color palette is soft and natural, with creams, lavenders, dusty roses, and moss greens, evoking the warmth of a cabin in the woods. Fabrics such as embroidered linen, chiffon, and cotton bring lightness and a vintage feel.
If you have a Ying Kibbe, keep things flowing and delicately detailed, Gamines can incorporate small contrasts or more structured cuts, and Dramatics can add a touch of mystery with long vertical silhouettes and interesting prints.

Angelic
Ingenue + Gamine
=
The Angelic Old Soul
(when Angelic is the main essence)
Finally, when Angelic is the principal essence, the style takes on an ethereal, almost mystical feel, with garments that seem straight out of an ancient tale or a dream. Silhouettes are flowing, with long, airy dresses, light capes, and fabrics that float with movement. Delicate details such as subtle sheers, hand-crafted embroidery, and intricate lace bring a sense of nostalgia and magic.
The color palette is made up of soft, heavenly tones such as ivories, faded lavenders, sage greens, and hazy blues, evoking light filtered through trees or the sunshine glow. Fabrics such as tulle, muslin, and worn velvet bring a dreamlike, antique feel.
Regardless of your Kibbe Type, this style embodies the spirit of an old soul with a celestial touch, someone who seems to have inhabited many eras and who radiates a soft, timeless, almost magical beauty.
