That Girl (Draft)
[edit]The "That Girl" aesthetic consists of an individual who takes care of themselves and puts an emphasis on wellness in all aspects of their lives (mental health, fitness, nutrition, interpersonal relations, etc.) It is most often targeted to women, although not exclusive to women.
History
[edit]The social media trend “That Girl” first originated on TikTok in 2021, by user Angelxadvice who shared their objectives for the new year; eating more fruit and vegetables, as well as reading more books[1]. It was only in Spring of 2021 that the term gained popularity, and became the norm for fitness, wellness influencers a like. Content regarding this aesthetic is seen on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Pinterest through various formats including short form videos, extended vlogs, curated Pinterest boards, etc.
The vlog component is especially popular, as it can demonstrate the ideal day of a “That Girl”, bringing in the “day in my life” compellation videos. It can also focus on a specific part of the day, either with a detailed morning routine, night routine or fitness routine.
Morning Routine
[edit]“That Girl” morning routine begins at the crack of dawn, with routines typically beginning at 5 AM. The reason behind this philosophy being that waking up early allows for more personal time before day-to-day obligations (school, work). Favored activities practiced in the morning include; affirmations, meditation, journaling, stretching, exercise and consuming a healthy well-balanced breakfast.
Fitness Routine
[edit]Popular forms of fitness within this trend are often sports that can be practiced alone, or in pairs. Yoga, Pilates, Walking (see Hot Girl Walk[2]) and running, were first associated to the trend in 2021. Swimming, Tennis, Pickleball were later added to the trend in 2024, popularized by the film Challengers (2024) and the Paris 2024 Olympics. For those who practice Yoga and Pilates, That Girl practitioners are encouraged to partake in classes at their local Yoga or Pilates studios or watch fitness content via YouTube with creators like Move with Nicole, Blogilates, Yoga with Adrienne, Edyn Loves Life, Yoga with Bird.
