What to Buy From Nordstrom If Your Vibe Is Mob Wife But Your Budget Is $200
Ready or not, the "mob wife aesthetic” has entered the chat. Whether you follow celebrity style or love to scroll TikTok, you’ve undoubtedly heard the term floating around as of late. And while for many, the hot take is that there are already thousands (if not millions) of people who have been dressing in this actually quite-classic style for decades, I can see how someone whose everyday vibes may be a little different could suddenly be intrigued, if not obsessed.
I mean, it is clearly chic and a refreshingly bold departure from some of the other trending "eras” that have come before it. So with that, you know I had to dive in. Below, you’ll find my picks for someone looking to enter their mob wife era on a budget. And—because why not—I kept all my picks from our beloved Nordstrom since I know that’s where we all love to shop anyway. Whether you're looking to channel your inner Carmela Soprano or Adriana La Cerva, simply keep scrolling for everything you’d need to get the look.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
