What Is the Natural Style Essence?
The Natural Essence in the Kitchener Style Essence system is all about relaxed strength, approachability, and a grounded presence. People with this essence exude a casual, free-spirited energy that feels unforced and quietly confident. Their beauty is effortless and earthy—less about polish, more about authenticity.
If you’ve ever been told you look best in minimal makeup, unstructured silhouettes, or textured fabrics like linen and denim, you may have a Natural essence
Remember, in the Kitchener system, most people are a blend, so Natural may be one of your dominant or supporting style essences. For example, I’m a blend of 3 essences: Classic, Natural and Romantic

How to Dress the Natural Style Essence?
Dressing for your Natural Essence is about choosing comfort with intention. Think “off-duty model” or “stylish traveler”—someone who looks great without trying too hard.
Tops
- Oversized shirts, relaxed cotton tees, chambray button-downs
- Earth-toned sweaters, chunky knitwear, utility jackets
Bottoms
- Straight-leg jeans, cargo pants, wide-leg linen trousers
- Denim skirts, flowy maxi skirts, soft tailoring
Shoes
- Leather sandals, sneakers, desert boots, ankle boots
- Woven flats or casual loafers
Accessories
- Canvas tote bags, leather backpacks, oversized scarves
- Jewelry in matte metal, wood, or natural stones
Natural Style Essence: Dos and Don’ts
Dos
1. Do choose relaxed silhouettes
Opt for clothing that flows naturally with your body—think oversized shirts, relaxed blazers, and wide-leg pants.
2. Do wear natural, textured fabrics
Fabrics like linen, cotton, denim, and raw silk enhance your grounded, organic beauty.
3. Do keep accessories earthy and minimal
Go for leather totes, wooden bangles, and handmade-looking jewelry—nothing too shiny or delicate.
4. Do embrace tousled, effortless hairstyles
Loose waves, soft buns, and textured ponytails match your essence better than heavily styled looks.
5. Do keep your makeup minimal and sun-kissed
A little bronzer, natural brows, and tinted lip balm go a long way.
6. Do opt for earth tones and muted colors
Shades like olive, sand, rust, and taupe reflect your essence’s grounded and approachable vibe.
7. Do prioritize comfort with intention
Your style thrives when you look effortlessly cool and feel at ease in what you’re wearing.
Don’ts
1. Don’t wear stiff, overly structured garments
Avoid boxy tailoring or tight silhouettes that restrict movement or look too “polished.”
2. Don’t over-accessorize
Flashy jewelry or too many pieces at once can feel inauthentic to your essence.
3. Don’t choose overly feminine or frilly styles
Ruffles, lace, and dainty details may clash with your grounded, casual energy.
4. Don’t overdo makeup
Bold contouring, bright lips, or heavy eyeshadow can overpower your natural glow.
5. Don’t wear glossy or synthetic-looking fabrics
Shiny satin, tulle, or metallics feel disconnected from the raw, earthy texture that suits you best.
6. Don’t follow trends blindly
Stick to timeless, rugged, or relaxed styles that feel lived-in rather than trendy and artificial.
Natural Essence Makeup & Hair
Makeup should feel minimal and sun-kissed:
- Tinted moisturizer, cream blush, soft brows
- Avoid heavy contouring or glittery finishes
Hair looks best when it’s natural in texture —loose waves, messy buns, or a simple ponytail. Highlights and balayage work well to enhance that lived-in, earthy vibe.
Celebrities with Natural Style Essence
Some well-known figures with Natural Essence include:
- Jennifer Aniston – classic natural ease and low-key beauty
- Julia Roberts – friendly charm with minimal styling
- Zendaya (in her more casual looks) – effortless cool with edge

Nathalie and her team worked tirelessly to address my every concern, redesign and refit my custom piece until we arrived at the perfect black tie jumpsuit for a maid of honor outfit. I am really impressed at how wonderful the outfit turned out and look forward to wearing it
Working with Natalia opened my eyes to the strongest features of my beauty. Previously, I had worked with make-up artists who were unable to explain its complexity to me. I am a difficult type because my colouring and Kibbe type are different from my essence. Finding the best way to deal with this is a challenge and requires great professionalism. Thank you, Natalia. I highly recommend this place to everyone as the only and best in this field. Cami
Analyse très intéressante, ça m’a permis de mieux comprendre pourquoi certaines tenues marchent et d’autres… pas du tout !
Nathalie a répondu à mes questions avec bienveillance, je suis ravie de la prestation.
Very interesting analysis that helped me understand why some outfit work while other flop !
Nathalie answered my questions with kindness, i’m very happy with the analysis .
I wish I had known about dressarte before. A real game changer for your style and wardrobe. Saves you time and money and is such a great experience.
Nathalie was exceptional. She exhibited a strong sense of ownership and accountability. The service was excellent. The communication was second to none despite the time difference. She kept me in the loop every step of the way. Even when there appeared to be challenges I would normally declare unsurmountable, she’d offer a great solution within the hour or even way less. It was amazing. The team was highly dedicated to delivering the best quality veil on time, despite the stringent timeline. My veil was perfect. I unreservedly recommend.
