Being "demure" is a new trend taking over TikTok, and the new lifestyle craze has people being more mindful about the way they present themselves.
Based on what some content creators are saying, living a demure lifestyle means living modestly — and the word has gone viral, as more than 122,000 videos on TikTok include the hashtag, #demure.

The term "demure" means "reserved" and "modest," according to Merriam-Webster.
TikTok users weighed in on the viral personality trend — with many saying they love using the word.

In another TikTok video, Lebron explains how to act demure when at the airport.
"You see how I walk through the airport? I don’t do a lot like these other girls. I get to my gate, and I get on the plane. I’m very cutesy, right, demure."
Other creators gave more examples of how someone can be demure.
Campbell Puckett, a content creator based in Georgia, shared her take on the trend in a TikTok video that reached more than three million views.
In the video, Puckett is shown slicing an almond croissant with a fork and knife — saying the way she’s doing it is "demure."
"You see how I eat this? I’m very modest. I’m very demure. I’m very cutesy," she said, adding, "I’m not messy. I don’t like crumbs."
Zach Jelks, a content creator who posts under the handle @undos on TikTok, also explained demure to his six million followers. One video in particular reached more than three million views after Jelks discussed a demure Chipotle order.
"Do you see how my Chipotle bowl looks edible? Do you see how you can see the contents of the bowl?" he asked.
After explaining that he doesn’t ask for sour cream on the side instead of on top of his bowl, and that he only purchased a small bag of chips, Jelks said that this is an example of being demure.
