A TikTok aesthetic and identity that emerged around 2022–23, in which young women — usually millennials and older Gen-Z — lean into office culture as a positive lifestyle: tailored blazers, oat-milk lattes, perfectly colour-coded Outlook calendars, productivity systems, and earnest "day in my life as a corporate girlie" vlogs. The trend is partly nostalgic (echoes of 1990s working-women movies), partly aspirational (a generation locked out of housing finding stability in the structure of office life), and partly ironic. Corporate girlie is generally read as the cheerful, pro-work counterpoint to lazy girl job and snail girl era, even though many creators play in both worlds.
A slow-living aesthetic that took off on TikTok in late 2023, in which young women publicly slow everything down — long morning routines, cooking from scratch, working part-time, going to bed early — as an explicit rejection of hustle culture and the "girlboss" archetype that preceded it. The phrase was popularised by creator Sienna Ludbey, who framed her own pivot away from a high-pressure career as entering her "snail girl era". It overlaps with cottagecore, soft-life and that-girl trends, but the snail-girl framing is more specifically anti-work: the slowness is the point, and the snail emoji often signs the posts.
The TikTok archetype of the hyper-optimized young woman: 6am green juice, meditation, run, pilates, journaling, clean skincare, color-coded planner. Aspirational and exhausting.
A type of role — coined and popularised by TikTok creator Gabrielle Judge in spring 2023 — that is fully remote, low-stakes, easy to perform, pays well enough to live on, and ends cleanly at the end of the workday. Lazy girl jobs are typically mid-level individual-contributor positions in operations, customer success, marketing or admin: meaningful enough to take pride in, but with no on-call, no team to manage and no expectation of after-hours work. The framing is explicitly post-girlboss — Judge's pitch is that women shouldn't have to grind themselves into burnout to be considered serious — and went viral in late 2023 with millions of "what's your lazy girl job?" replies.
My lazy girl job pays £55k, I'm logged off by 4pm, and I've never once been asked to "circle back" on a weekend.
