Social media is an ever-changing world where a new trend becomes all the rage every couple of days. In this ever-evolving world, a new trend has come up where it's all about a 'very demure, very mindful' look, specifically when you are in the workplace. Let's dive into how this trend started and how to actually nail this look in the modern way.
Started by TikTok user Jools Lebron when she posted a video describing her polished office-makeup look as 'very demure, very mindful'. The catchy phrase was then quickly picked up by social media users to create memes and other hilarious content over the internet. However, some Indian users hilariously called it an Americanised version of the desi 'So beautiful, so elegant, just looking like a wow' trend that had the country in its grip, a couple of months ago.

With the trend now making over to India and rapidly spreading like wildfire, it has suddenly become cool to look 'demure'. Becoming the latest buzzword, the trend in its essence actually talks about being 'respectful' and 'mindful' in your everyday situations, starting with how you look when you get ready for work. Here are 5 ways you too can jump on the bandwagon and nail this trend.
The trend is about being 'modest' in the way you dress, so skip the wild patterns or bright contrasting colours and opt for classic staples that fit you well and complement each other. Basically, go back to the classics of what we actually wore to work before Gen Z came into the workforce with their high-fashion wardrobe.
When doing your makeup, go for a more natural makeup look. A 'clean girl' makeup style that embraces a no-makeup look with subtle, barely there makeup, and fresh and dewy skin that enhances your natural beauty is the way to go if you are looking for ways to look 'demure'.
The accessories that you choose to pair with your attire become the highlight of your look. If looking demure is your purpose go for minimal accessories with your outfit. Pearls and simple gold or silver-toned jewels along with the timeless watch are all you need when accessorising your work outfit!
Quiet luxury is a pared-back look with timeless and elegant pieces that go beyond what's trending. Don't go for clothes with loud logos or in-your-face branding and opt for some classic patterns and prints such as florals, polka dots, stripes, and plaid, that scream 'luxury' but in an understood way.
More than anything else, the trend focuses on being respectful at work by dressing up in a way that does not demand too much attention. So don't opt for skimpy clothes that are too revealing or show an appropriate amount of skin. Most importantly, follow proper etiquette and the rules set forth by your organisation regarding what to wear and how to dress.
