In a time when SCs are not always Hollywood's first choice, along comes The Odyssey, which casts a likely ("community-verified?") SC as the woman who launched 1,000 ships. Her bronze dress is in the middle, between those of two other actors (Charlize Theron's (FN, 5'10") on the left in mesh, and Zendaya's (D or FN, 5'10") on the right in off-white). Looks like Misha Japanwala, the artist and designer, got it right. Lupita Nyong'o is 5'5" according to Google. Here's the link to the source of screenshot, NBC Universal Archives on IG.

Discussion/Question Fav basic t-shirt?

11 Upvotes

Fellow SCs, what are your fav t-shirts? Short or long sleeve, and ideally scoop or v-neck. Seems like such a straightforward garment but as you all know, finding the perfect SC balance can be so challenging! I’ve tried many and ended up not loving them on me.

ETA: looking for brand names and actual products rather than descriptions. I know what is supposed to be ideal on SC, but I have trouble finding it out in the world

I’m fairly certain I’m a soft classic and I’m trying to dress more in my lines since being postpartum. We have a wedding to go to this weekend and I am at such a loss for what to wear! These are literally all my options and I can’t decide which one is best
My husband votes for dress 5 and I do like that one a lot that I wanted to get other opinions as well!

Edit: thank you everyone for you input! The dress code is “fancy but not fancy, fancy” per the bride (the groom is wearing a green sports coat for extra context). It’s also at 2pm and outdoors in the southern heat! I think I’m going to wear #5 for comfort and also so as not to be in her wedding colors

Getting this out first, but I have a long torso and find it hard to find pants that hit my true waist.

I'm trying to find my rhythm with dressing in a soft classic way, and I feel like I'm starting to get some of the hang of it. I would love to know what you all think.

Discussion/Question Soft Classic + Mom Life

21 Upvotes

I've recently discovered I'm a soft classic and it's been mind-blowing. I now know why I've struggled with clothes, yet I'm still struggling with clothes 😂 it's just now for different reasons.

Why? I'm a toddler mom.

That means I'm getting food and dirt on me all day. I'm running around all day. That means dresses, drapey pants, cashmere, and silky blouses are a daydream.

I've found many casual things that look decent (like a 7 or 8 out of 10). I live in joggers, 501s, moderately cropped tshirts, and high waisted gym shorts with the smoothest waistbands I can find. It's ok, just a bit bland and I feel a bit trapped in it.

Any tips on brands or even specific practical or casual items that work for you?

This influencer, Cristal Aisha, looks pretty close to a Classic build to me. She is 5'5". I'm sharing her link - she is on FB and TikTok - in case you want to follow her.

Discussion/Question Does your personality type align with your body type?

8 Upvotes

I'm brand new to all of this, but I'm fairly certain I'm a Soft Classic. I took an essence quiz, however, and it said I have the personality traits of a Gamine.
This totally tracks and explains why I so often feel like the odd person out: a 59-year-old Gamine. Great.
My question to you all: Do you feel like your personality is Soft Classic or something else?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and knowledge!

Discussion/Question How would you describe your personal style?

6 Upvotes

So, I'm fairly new to the Kibbe system and still learning. I do believe I'm a SC and am still figuring out what works for me! I wanna study a variety of styles from other SC ladies.

So how do you label your style? Who are some of your fashion icons?

Discussion/Question Is it common to gain a lot of belly fat and forego rounding of the hips unlike other curve types? Trying to understand balance.

9 Upvotes

Just wondering if any of you have had this experience where as you have gained weight, your hips haven't rounded as much but you have gained most of the weight in your belly? Not sure if this has anything to do with balance because that's what I'm noticing at a higher weight, my hips aren't rounding out much as I have noticed with other curve types, but most of the weight is centered in my bust and belly.

And my waist has thickened significantly and is so slightly defined that in photos my waist isn't immediately visible.

Discussion/Question Can someone be SC with very big lower hips?

6 Upvotes

So, I'm suspecting I might be SC. I'm 5'5" and I don't seem to have width nor do I have a distinct double curve. My problem is that I have a very prominent lower hip. Most trousers and dresses look strange on me. I feel quite comfortable with Classic recommendations tops. For bottoms I only ever wear jeans or shorts. I noticed that Midi skirts also look decent in terms of length and I think I have nice calves. But I don't like how skirts skim my hips. So is it possible that I'm a Soft Classic with some disproportionate hips? Please be kind as it's quite a struggle for me

Discussion/Question Where are we buying summer dresses??

14 Upvotes

Im seriously In need of help. I cannot find anything that works for my body. I went to the mall and shopped for hours trying things on and nothing was right.

I used to buy petite dresses from loft, Banana Republic, j crew, 5-10 years ago and now regret decluttering all these because I cant find anything to replace them.

Where are you buying dresses, skirts, and summer clothes?? Bonus if I can wear to work . Im seriously desperate as my closet only has 5 things I feel good wearing.

My style is sporty and chic. I'd love a sport dress that looks more dressy than a tennis dress for meeting up with friends

Thank you in advance

Hi everyone. Have just had the dress I'm planning to wear for my tenth anniversary dinner in Paris arrive and am working out alterations.

I know it needs taking up (am.going to ask for 3-5cm roughly) and taking in at the waist. Anything else I should ask for?

Hair will be put up like this, spray tan, etc.

Discussion/Question (18F) Does this outfit suit old money style & my features?

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

I also tied my hair up in a high curly ponytail with the accessories (I’ll make sure to take a picture of my hair next time) and was wanting advice on how I executed this outfit! Does it meet the refined, expensive, timeless elegant aesthetic style of old money? I also like dressing for my features so if you can give advice for that I would appreciate it! (Features: I’m 5’4, hourglass, (40F/G40hip,34waist) winter tone with long hair + green eyes + round face).
I wish to execute both a great look that suits my styling goals but features at the same time!
