So, what's the deal with this "Very Demure, Very Mindful" trend? 

You might have seen a TikTok video or two about it, as it's been making news lately and going viral! But what does it actually mean? 

Well, "demure" means being modest and understated, and "mindful" means being aware and thoughtful. Basically, it's about slowing down, appreciating the simple things, and making choices that truly matter.

At work, this translates to showing your true self in a calm and confident way. It can help you feel less stressed and more focused, which is a win-win in our busy world.

Want to create a wardrobe that embodies the "Very Demure, Very Mindful" philosophy? Here's how.

Start by choosing timeless pieces in high-quality fabrics and neutral colours. Think tailored blazers, silk blouses, and well-fitting trouser pants—versatile essentials that can be mixed and matched effortlessly. 

Complete your look with comfortable yet stylish shoes, delicate jewellery, and a designer tote bag for something casual or a sleek top handle purse for a more polished look.

Now let's talk makeup.

Mindful makeup is about enhancing your natural beauty, not hiding it.

Start with a good skincare routine. Use high-quality skincare products, like a moisturising cream or a targeted treatment, such as the Shiseido eye cream, to cleanse, hydrate, and protect your skin. For a youthful boost, try the Shiseido Ultimune Eye Power Infusing Eye Concentrate to diminish dark circles and enhance radiance.

Then, opt for makeup products that highlight your features. A tinted moisturiser or an everyday makeup foundation like the ESTÉE LAUDER Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup SPF10/PA++ can create an even complexion, while a versatile cheek product like the Giorgio Armani blush or the CLINIQUE Cheek Pop adds a hint of natural colour.

Define your eyes with a Shu Uemura eyebrow pencil—known for its precise application and long-lasting wear—and subtle liquid eyeliner like the Revlon ColorStay™ Eyeliner. Finish with a nude lipstick—we recommend the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color—for a touch of understated elegance. And don't forget a complementary nail polish.

Want to tap into an even deeper sense of focus at work? It's time to transform your workstation into a haven of serenity.

Incorporate calming scents with a fragrance diffuser, such as the JO MALONE LONDON English Pear & Freesia Scent Surround™ Diffuser, or scented candles like the MAISON 21G Half Moon Candle Amber Affair. These can help you de-stress and stay present, even when deadlines loom.

When you need a moment of peace, an eye mask can help you recharge during breaks.

For a quick refresh, consider a revitalising body mist. And to elevate your mood, indulge in a captivating perfume for women, like the Chloé Classic EDP or Yves Saint Laurent Libre EDP.

The "Very Demure, Very Mindful" trend is more than just a fashion statement; it's a path towards a calmer, more fulfilling work life.
