Thoughts on yin yang, DYT and Kibbe (draft)

Update 8/7/15: I now focus more on McJimsey than Kibbe and believe in a lot more fluidity of style than this tight of correlations. http://expressingyourtruthcloset.blogspot.com/2015/04/styles-related-to-secondaries.html

 (balanced yin/yang, with undercurrent of Romantic)
  • Dramatic Classic "Tailored Chic" (more angular) 4/3?
  • Classic "Sophisticated Lady" (perfect symmetry and yin) 4/1?
  • Soft Classic "Graceful Lady" (has an undercurrent of romantic) 4/2?


Yang edge of Yin/Yang=

  • Gamine "Piquant Chic" (petite yin bone structure, angular body) 1/4?
  • Soft Gamine "Spitfire Chic" (undercurrent of Romantic, yin size and fleshy body, angular face) 1/2?

Extreme Yang=correlates to Dramatic
does this relate to T3?
Dramatic "Regal Lady" 
(chiseled features)


Soft Dramatic "Diva Chic" 
(more angular)

  • Dramatic "Regal Lady" (chiseled features) 3/1
  • Soft Dramatic "Diva Chic" (more angular) 3/2
  • Dramatic Classic 3/4 (also 4/3 above)?


Here's how the Yin/Yang scale works:

 The extreme Yang edge of the Yin/Yang scale is the Dramatic (extreme, sharp Yang), characterized by a straight body type; extremely sharp bone structure; and very straight, narrow, facial features (small eyes, narrow lips, sharp nose and jawline, and prominent cheekbones with taut flesh).

The extreme Yin edge of the Yin/Yang scale is the Romantic (extreme, soft Yin), characterized by a very soft and curvy body type, with a more rounded bone structure (which tends to be slightly wide or full) and very rounded. Lush facial features (large eyes; luscious lips; a soft, slightly full nose and jawline; and fleshy cheeks.

The pure balance between the Yin and Yang extremes is the Classic, characterized by a symmetrical body type, with a tapered, even bone structure (neither overly sharp nor overly full), and very regular evenly spaced, facial features (symmetrical eyes, straight lips, a finely chiseled nose and jawline--but not sharply--and moderate cheekbones.)

The more moderate Yang side of the Yin/Yang scale, falling between the extreme, sharp Yang of the Dramatic and the balance of the Classic, is the Natural, characterized by straight and slightly muscular body type; and angular, but slightly broad bone structure; and angular, slightly wide facial features that tend to be blunt-edged (wide-spaced eyes; strong, straight lips; a blunt or slightly wide nose and jawline; and moderately angular cheekbones that then toward width.)

 The final major spot on the Yin/Yang scale is the combination of opposites that represents the Gamine. Yin in size (petite), Yin in facial features (full and rounded), but Yang in body type (straight and narrow) and in bone structure (sharp and narrow). The Gamine is equal parts Yin and Yang, always maintaining a natural contradiction that is the basis for her physical makeup.
