If you’re a chronically online girlie like me, you’ve probably seen or heard of the mob wife aesthetic by now. It’s completely taken over my TikTok For You page. When you think of a mob wife, what image appears in your head? Is it of a woman in a large fur coat and sunglasses, who’s rocking a red lip moment? Because that’s what this fashion trend is all about. Gold jewelry, leather fabrics, chic bags, and all-black outfits are the key to TikTok’s skyrocketing mob wife aesthetic.
Instagram account @databutmakeitfashion, which analyzes fashion trends, confirmed that mob wife is overtaking 2023’s clean girl aesthetic, and fast. In an Instagram post, @databutmakeitfashion said the clean girl aesthetic is decreasing 16% in popularity every day, with a coinciding chart that shows the mob wife aesthetic quickly increasing in popularity. The hashtag #mobwife has already accumulated over 170 million views on TikTok. It’s clear mob wife is making its mark in a big way. Carmela Soprano would be proud. Want to partake in one of 2024’s biggest trends? I’ve compiled a list of items that will help you achieve the mob wife look.

Corset tops elevate any and every outfit. The fact that this one has faux feathers gives it that extra bit of extravagance that the mob wife trend calls for.
