If you've scrolled on TikTok at any point in the past few months, you've surely come across the trend of mob wife outfits. The newest trending fashion aesthetic is "mob wife style", a style that consists of leather, fur and animal print—making it perfect for a bachelorette outfit theme. While other events leading up the wedding such as the bridal shower and rehearsal dinner are meant to be a bit more, ahem, family friendly, the bachelorette party is when you can have a little fun with your style and lean into all of the bachelorette party trends.
The complete opposite of the "clean girl aesthetic" on TikTok, mob wife style is all about going over the top. From glamorous fabrics to gaudy prints and colors, the mob wife style is meant to emulate a lavishness and opulence seen in the clothing worn by popular mob wives in film and television.
What is the Mob Wife Aesthetic?
To put it simply, the mob wife aesthetic is all about over the top glamor met with a bit of gaudiness and nineties edge. Think Carmela Soprano or Fran Fine. The more fur, cheetah print and pops of red, the better.
