Since the term “mob wife” emerged, it has become an integral part of social media. There seems to be no way around him, but what does it actually mean to look like a mob wife? And how can the expressive look be integrated into our everyday lives?
In the imagination, “Mob Wives” refers to the wives of famous mafia bosses who are dressed extravagantly. Loud, flashy, naughty and, above all, outfits inspired by the 90s – just like we know from the films. (Fake -)Fur jackets, animal print, more eye-catching Jewelry and wildly styled hair are in complete contrast to the clean girl aesthetic, which is characterized by minimalism, or the quiet luxury trend, which makes subtle, valuable statements. Stars and influencers are already enthusiastic about the style of the mob wives and are relying on the self-confident look.
Making mob wives suitable for everyday use: These women over 50 are showing the way
We are not surprised that stars like Kylie Jenner, Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian undoubtedly wear this expressive look.
Of course it’s also suitable for going out – we can wear whatever we want anyway. But if you’re one of those people who like to try out new fashion things, but don’t like it that loud? If you’re tired of the clean girl/quiet luxury, we’ll show you how to make the mob wife trend suitable for everyday use. Actress and “Gossip Girl” star Kelly Rutherford shows us how:

She wears an elegant, toned-down version of the mob wife look and looks stylish, casual, but still special. As a base, the 55-year-old wears classic straight-leg jeans, a basic white T-shirt and casual sneakers – the outfit hardly differs from the clean girl style. She creates the right “mafia look” with her long fur coat and her large sunglasses. She simply wears her hair back.
The most important rule: A simple base
“Emily in Paris” star Philippine Leroy Beaulieu also follows this pattern at Fashion Week in Paris:

The actress also starts her outfit with a simple base. She is wearing a black turtleneck, black skinny jeans and black boots. Her look becomes a “Mob Wife” eye-catcher using the same trick as Kelly Rutherford’s – instead of an equally simple jacket, she chooses an eye-catching fur coat and accessories. In her case, they are black leather gloves that echo the material of the boots.
So it doesn’t take much to bring out your inner “mob wife” without overdoing it. Depending on how eccentric you want to go with the style, you can choose a more lush or simple coat. If you leave out the headgear, sunglasses and statement gold jewelry, you have a great everyday look.
