To make the effect even more visible, let's look at Katrina when she's wearing her essences: Part of the reason why ingenue clothing doesn't work on Katrina is because she is tall with incredibly long legs.
She also doesn't have angelic facial features. The classic style essence is the balance between masculinity and femininity also known as the formal, traditional essence balancing yin and yang.. Well, this does look slightly odd. Can you pull them off without looking clownish?
The gamine style essence is a bold one. Let's take a look at another signature style of the classic style essence: simple dresses with minimal jewellery. Regardless of the shape, their facial features almost always remain delicate and childlike even in adulthood. Well, this is not quite the same effect that we got on Zoe. Plain textures may look boring on this style essence, particularly if the shape of the garment does not follow dramatic principles. This is not quite the same effect that we got on Sofia.

A signature style of the gamine essence is patterns and fits traditionally associated with boys' clothing. They are often drawn to cute things.
Now let's see what boyish clothing does to someone who does not have the gamine style essence.
Consequently, individuals with the classic style essence tend to create an overall visual impression of timeless elegance and formality.
Unusual and creative patterns are one of the hallmarks of the dramatic style essence. Part of the reason angelic clothing does nothing for Kristen is because her body is not long and narrow but quite compact. Well, this is not quite the same effect that we got on Aja. Dark lace can be incorporated for instance as sleeves or as a whole garment. Shorter dresses and jackets, short skirts, and shorts are all better suited than long and narrow designs.
Again, stiff shapes are out of place on this style essence.
This doesn't necessarily read as big breasts and overly wide hips - although it certainly can - but simply as a soft roundness as opposed to a very straight, angular body type. ButTzuyu has more of a girly appearance, whereas Emma's is more boyish.

Kim doesn't look very put together in these outfits, she looks a bit sloppy.
The angelic style essence looks best in the colours of the cosmos and mythical places - think purple, sea blue and green, creams, taupes as well as gold and silver etc.
Delicate and flimsy designs won't work on this type because they often have prominent physical features, which are much more flattered by equally prominent accessories.
Kate looks elegant, but Jennifer Aniston looks stiff and uncomfortable in this kind of style.
To achieve this look in clothing, Ingenues look best when they incorporate the following clothing styles into their outfits: The gamine style essence is a petite essence. We get more of the adult-trapped-in-children's-clothing vibe.
Individuals with the dramatic style essence tend to have a straight, sharp-edged, and angular body type, as it is this straightness of the body parts that makes dramatic clothing look amazing on them.

Where other types would look like they're trying too hard in such a style, a Romantic portrays glamour and sensuality.
On Jourdan, this style is complementing and highly flattering, but on Kristen, this look is just disappointing.
Thanks to their sturdy body types, Naturals would also not be easily overwhelmed by great amounts of clothes in the way a petite body type would.
Layering is also possible with accessories. To complement the elegant designs of the classic styles, premium fabrics are a must. The natural style essence looks great in natural materials, such as wool, straw and linen. Something that is closely related to comfort is layering. Kate looks very natural and comfortable. Notice how the ladies in the following examples all have playful appearances and a hint of innocence in their faces.
Androgyny is a mix of both feminine and masculine characteristics. Their features communicate an easy-going, approachable nature. They are seemingly more elegant and formal compared to others.

If you can carry off a boyish outfit without looking slightly ridiculous, there's a good chance you have some gamine essence in you. Can you pull them off without looking clownish?

And so should its fabrics.
Cheap materials are not appreciated here.

Kim, in contrast, again doesn't look like she's made an effort. Let's take a look at Tzuyu and Emma Watson.
