TikTok's first viral trend of 2024 is decades old. Yep, I'm talking about the mob wife aesthetic or mob wife winter. Calling back to the trends of the '80s and '90s, East Coast Italian mob wives from TV references like HBO's The Sopranos, and maximalist animal-print pieces from opulent runways, such as Yves Saint Laurent's S/S 86 runway show—this trend has taken the internet by storm with over 127 million views on TikTok. Our favorite fashion data accounts, like @databutmakeitfashion, have documented the internet's switch from 2023's oh-so-popular clean-girl aesthetic to all things mob wives. To get the look, you're going to need sheer or fishnet tights, animal-print pieces, vintage-looking gold jewelry, and, of course, a big fur or faux-fur coat.
I rounded up 28 mob wife ready pieces to make getting the look even easier. You can thank me later.
