How to ace the mob wife aesthetic minus the fur

There's a new fashion trend circling on social media and it's the mob wife aesthetic. It's not hard to understand the appeal of this trend: it's bold, it's glamorous, and it's unapologetically maximalist, which is perfect for anyone looking to make a statement. The mob wife trend marks a return to the famed glamour and extravagance of the early 2000s but with a modern twist, of course. Celebrities like Sofia Vergara, Dua Lipa, Khloe Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber have all embraced the mob wife trend further inspiring us to give it a whirl.

 

Now fur is one of the major elements of the mob wife trend, but if you're not on board with fur, don't worry! Here's how you can rock this trend minus the fur. 

Bold prints, textures, and leather

Apart from fur, animal prints are a huge part of the mob wife aesthetic mostly because of how fierce they look. You could try a leopard-print skirt in leather or a zebra-striped sweater. You can even mix and match different textures, like a snake-print top with a leather coat. 

Accessorise like a boss

Accessorise like you mean it! Gold hoops, statement necklaces, and bracelets are a must for the mob wife trend. The modern interpretation of the mob wife aesthetic is about sophistication and not just about wearing as much gold as possible. So select pieces that complement your outfit and enhance your confidence.

Be confident

The most important accessory you can wear is confidence. Think Carmela Soprano from The Sopranos, where she turns heads as she strolls into the restaurant, that's the energy we're channelling. The mob wife aesthetic is all about owning your look, walking tall, and exuding power and confidence. 

Choose the right make-up look

Make-up is a great way to add drama and glamour to the mob wife look. Dark, sultry shades that add depth and mystery, bold red lipstick, and a voluminous hairdo for a splash of old Hollywood glamour. Don't be afraid to experiment with bold colours and dramatic lashes either!

Shoes that make a statement

Shoes play a very important part in any outfit and are often overlooked. In this case, opting for bold shoes that make a statement is how you can take your mob wife outfit to the next level. Yes, we’re talking about stilettos, high-knee boots, and chunky platform shoes. These will add an element of power and confidence to your mob wife look, making you look absolutely fabulous.

Balance it 

While everything requires to be bold and beautiful to look like a mob wife, it doesn't always have to be done all at once. For instance, if you're wearing a leopard print sheath dress and have a rich lip shade on, with earthy eyeshadow thrown in, it's perfectly fine to wear just one accessory. Pick elements you want and mix and match.
