Breaking down TikTok's new "Mob Wife Aesthetic"

Updated: May 9

















2023 was all about being healthy, fresh and having an sporty look. The so-called

Clean girls dominated the year on all social media platforms. For everyone who

wanted to be more than that, the time has come. 2024 is replacing the clean look

with a sexier, flashier and more dominating vibe. Forget normal, and start being

your own version of Gloria Delgado-Pritchett from The Modern Family, and most

prominent Edie Falco from Sopranos.

In addition to red lips, wicked eye make-up, eye-catching bling and leopard print,

fur is also part of a real gangster woman's wardrobe. Ideally, this should be

bought second-hand.

This is also recommended by the matching Tiktok soundtrack,

to which many young women present their mafia outfits. Nevertheless,

the fur trend is unexpected, as until 2020 celebrities had stripped bare for the

"Better naked than in fur" campaign by the animal rights organization "Peta".

It's recommended to use vegan alternatives to complete your look.


The Mob Wife aesthetic is all about glamour, and if you can afford it, then nothing

is better then Versace, who is serving this style since the 90's.



But how did the Mob Wife aesthetic start trending?

Like many fashion trends this one also is based on it's own pop culture. Since

quite some time we are fascinated with the Mafia and their powerful aesthetic.

Movies like The Sopranos, Goodfellas, The Godfather, have not only created an

hype back then being released, but are still classics with an huge influence.

Talking about influence, no one can deny that Peaky Blinders has popularized

the old Mafia vibe again. The cold character of Thomas Shelby, played by

Cillian Murphy, has influenced the scene like only Tony Soprano was able to do.

Therefore it's not shocking to see that people start to bring the old style back to

mainstream. Although these movies and shows are highly male-dominated, these

particular aesthetic seekers envision the women in more contrast with the screen

script with an extravagant taste. Mob wives like Carmela Soprano always enjoyed

much popularity.

























However, being an modern Mob wife on Social Media doesn't require the man

for the dirty work like presented in movies and shows. Instead it's the wives who

now become the bosses. Be strong and show your extravaganza wherever you

go is the new motto. The Mob Wife aesthetic is not only our favorite fashion trend

of the year but also a new way to represent your class with a scent of toughness.

All you need is a bit of fur, at best vegan.
