In a world where trends come and go like the changing tides of the ocean, deciphering what’s worth hopping on can be a daunting task. Trainer Rachael Hite navigates the latest viral TikTok craze, the “demure” trend, and provides insightful guidance on whether real estate agents should follow suit.
- The Rise of “Demure”
In a sea of monotony, have you noticed the shift towards “demure” traits? Quietly cool, composed, and stylishly modest seem to be the new norm on social media. The trend has swept through platforms like TikTok, with big names like Jennifer Lopez and Vice President Kamala Harris joining in. But why has “demure” become the talk of the town? What exactly is a micro-trend, and is it something you should embrace on your social media? - Deciphering the “Demure” Trend
To understand the underlying essence of the “demure” trend, it’s crucial to delve into its origins. Stemming from trans TikTok influencer Jools Lebron, who emphasized the need for being “demure” in professional settings, the trend began as a nod to the struggles faced by the trans community. Initially veiled in modesty, it soon morphed into a blend of sarcasm and satire, poking fun at societal expectations and norms. -
Evaluating the Trend: A Fail-Safe System
As with any trend, evaluating its relevance to your brand is essential. Coach Rachael Hite lays down three golden rules for gauging the worth of jumping on a trend bandwagon:
- Research and grasp the context of the trend thoroughly.
- Align the trend with your brand’s mission and goals.
- Ensure you can explain the trend without hesitation, even to your grandma.
This particular trend, with its hint of professionalism and humor, can serve as a playful addition to your marketing strategy if it resonates with your brand identity.
In a world where appearances often dictate perceptions, the “demure” trend challenges societal norms, blending seriousness with wit in a refreshing manner. Whether you choose to embrace it or not, the ever-evolving realm of micro-trends promises something new at every turn. So go ahead, toe the line of demureness, or break free from the mold – the choice is yours to make in this whimsical world of trends.
