The Mob Wife Aesthetic Is In, With Women Beginning To Embrace Bolder, Louder, And Even A Bit Messier Looks
Some of the most recent fashion trends and aesthetics have been focused on simplicity and minimalism. For instance, last year, the ‘clean girl’ aesthetic was very popular and focused on looking your best while keeping things more neutral and soft.
However, with the start of 2024, women are beginning to embrace a louder, bolder fashion trend – the ‘mob wife aesthetic.’
Perhaps it’s the hit mobster television show “The Sopranos” turning 25-years-old this year or a sudden yearning for the boldest looks of the 2000s, but dressing like you’re “married to the mob” is in right now.
Mob wife fashion is best paired with a mob wife’s confident and loud attitude. This year, women are ready to be bold, unapologetic, and even messy as they make their way through life with confidence and great style.
If you’re ready to channel your inner Carmella Soprano or Drita D’Avanzo, here are some elements of the ‘mob wife aesthetic’ that you should be sure to include in your beauty routine and wardrobe
A vintage fur or faux fur coat
In many shows and movies, it became apparent that one of a mob wife’s most favorite gifts to receive is a priceless fur coat. However, you don’t have to go against your morals and support the fur industry to rock the look. Shop for vintage pieces sold at secondhand or thrift stores, or check out some realistic faux fur coats online.
A red lip
Sometimes, nothing makes you feel more on top of your game than wearing a timeless and bold red lip. People tend to shy away from red lips because they make people stand out, but it’s time to recognize that they make people stand out in a good way.

Shop for a new red lip and lip liner to add to your makeup collection, and you’ll feel like a boss in no time.
A French tip or acrylic manicure
Trust me; you’ll have difficulty finding a show or movie portraying a mob wife without a bomb manicure or long nails. Carmella Soprano from “The Sopranos” is infamous for her long and exquisite French tip nails that make her hand gestures even greater.
If you love the look of long nails and can use them in your daily activities, hit up the salon and get yourself a great set.
Volumized hair
While you don’t have to rock Snooki’s iconic “poof” from the early 2010s, one factor in the mob wife aesthetic is great, volumized hair. Don’t settle for flat hair; begin practicing hairstyles that will lift your hair. Many mob wives believe in the phrase, “The higher the hair, the closer to heaven.”
Animal print
Putting yourselves in several different kinds of animal print fabrics and patterns would likely be overkill. However, don’t be afraid to throw on a leopard print top occasionally to channel your inner diva.
There you have it: a few key elements that will help you nail the mob wife aesthetic. It’s a fun way to channel some bold and gritty characters minus the crime.
