About Kibbe Body Types
Helping you discover your unique style essence through the Kibbe body typing system — built by a software engineer, for everyone.
Zohaib Hassan
Software Engineer
Zohaib Hassan is a Software Engineer based in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, with over 3 years of professional experience developing enterprise web applications. His expertise spans frontend architecture, scalable component systems, data-driven user interfaces, and end-to-end product design. After discovering the Kibbe body typing system and experiencing firsthand how understanding your body type can transform the way you approach fashion, Zohaib built this platform to make the system accessible to a wider audience. Every aspect of the site — from the interactive quiz algorithm to the parametric body-type illustrations and the comprehensive styling guides — was designed and developed by him. Kibbe Body Types is an independent, solo-built project that reflects Zohaib's commitment to combining technical craftsmanship with genuine user value.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make the Kibbe body typing system accessible, understandable, and actionable for everyone. We believe that understanding your natural proportions and yin-yang balance is one of the most powerful tools you can have for building a personal style that truly fits.
This site exists to bridge the gap between David Kibbe's original methodology and the modern fashion landscape. Whether you're a complete beginner or already familiar with the system, we provide clear, structured guidance to help you identify your type and apply its principles to your wardrobe.
We are not affiliated with David Kibbe or his official brand. This is an independent educational resource built to help people explore the system.
Our Methodology
All content on Kibbe Body Types is grounded in David Kibbe's original system as described in his book Metamorphosis(1987), cross-referenced with the extensive community knowledge developed in the decades since its publication. The 13-type classification system, the yin-yang spectrum, and the styling recommendations all trace back to Kibbe's framework.
Our interactive quiz uses a multi-factor assessment approach based on the key determinants of Kibbe typing: bone structure, body proportions, flesh characteristics, facial features, and overall essence. Each of the 7 quiz questions targets a specific dimension of the Kibbe system, and the scoring algorithm weights responses across all 13 types to identify your best match.
Body-type guides, styling recommendations, and blog articles are written based on established Kibbe principles. While we strive for accuracy, body typing is inherently subjective and the Kibbe system is an interpretive framework, not a hard science. We encourage users to treat the results as a starting point for exploration, not a rigid label.

Why We Built This
The Kibbe system is one of the most detailed, nuanced body typing frameworks available — but it's also notoriously difficult to get started with. The original book is out of print, and most online resources are scattered across forums and blogs with no consistent structure.
We built Kibbe Body Types to solve this: a single, well-organized platform where you can take a structured quiz, explore detailed guides for all 13 types, and start applying the system to your wardrobe — without having to piece together information from dozens of different sources.
The entire site — quiz algorithm, body-type illustrations, styling guides, and blog content — was built by a single developer who wanted to make this system more accessible. It's a labor of love, not a commercial venture.
