Mob Wife Trend
The ‘Mob wife’ trend refers to a fashion style inspired by the wives of mafia members, characterized by a bold and strong styling.

Key items of this trend include fur coats, animal prints, gold jewelry, leather pants, and sunglasses. Notable brands that align with this trend include Schiaparelli, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, and Gucci, known for their glamorous and confident image. The ‘Mob wife’ trend aims to project an image of a business-savvy, self-assured persona, emphasizing energy and aura over the cost of clothing.
The background of the ‘Mob wife’ aesthetics can be traced to a viral TikTok by Kayla Trivieri, who declared the arrival of the ‘Mob wife’ era, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the TV series “The Sopranos”, a story about the mafia. However, Trivieri attributed the trend to what she observed on the streets of New York.
This trend starkly contrasts with existing trends like the minimalist “Clean Girl” and the girlish “Barbie core” & “Ballet core”, offering a stronger, sexier, and more mature feel compared to the youthful Y2K trend.
Styling tips for the ‘Mob wife’ trend focus on a strong and bold style, with oversized fur coats as a key item.
1)Key points include actively using leather or fur materials, like oversized fur coats and long leather boots that reach the knee.
