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.
