2022 was all about embodying the coastal grandmother look; quiet luxury dominated 2023; and now 2024 is already shaping up to be the year of the mob wife aesthetic.

In the off chance you haven't been on social media recently, TikTokers have declared that minimalism is out and bold glamour a la a '90s mafia wife in. What's involved this time, you ask? Ankle-grazing fur coats, leopard prints, all-black everything, leather to the max, chunky gold jewelry, and smokey makeup and bold red lip to tie your look together. So think: anything you'd imagine Carmela Soprano to wear.

The trend has been catching on like wildfire since the beginning of the year, with millions of views populating our feeds every day. Maybe it's because of the recent Sopranos 25th anniversary or maybe it's simply because it's an aesthetic that doesn't require shopping for an entirely new wardrobe—whatever the reason may be, we're here for it. And now, even famous It-girls like Dua Lipa, Hailey Bieber, and Kendall Jenner are being dubbed the face of the edgy look all thanks to their recent outfit choices.

Intrigued? Ahead, a very T&C take on incorporating a touch of mob wife into your look this winter.

Teddy Bear Icon Coat

Rule No. 1 of mastering the mob wife look: investing in an oversized fur coat. We couldn't think of a better designer to turn to for that than Max Mara.

Faux-Fur Coat

A glamorous, fuzzy brown coat is a surefire way to make an impact this winter.

Faux-Fur Leopard-Print Coat

No mob wife look is complete without a bit of leopard, right? Not only will this style keep you warm and toasty, but it'll also have you looking put-together wherever you're headed.

Liza Faux Fur Jacket

Or perhaps you fancy something a bit lighter? Perfect for a glam winter white moment.

Veda Dalia Relaxed-Fit Leather Blazer

Black leather is essential. Might we suggest a relaxed blazer that can be dressed up or down with ease?

Annina Recycled Leather Trousers

That aforementioned leather blazer looks great solo, but just imagine how cool it'll look with these leather pants? I rest my case.

Felda Dress

A peplum dress combined with a leopard print? It's like it was made just for the mob wife trend.

Tara Side Drape Gown

Have a dressy occasion on the schedule? Throw this form-fitting, asymmetrical style on with a pair of chunky gold jewelry, and bada bing bada boom! You'll be a vision of a mob wife.

24k Gold Electroplate Oval Link Chain Necklace

Speaking of chunky gold jewelry, a statement chain necklace is the quintessential accessory for nailing the aesthetic.

Sleeveless Calf-Length Dress in Shiny Satin

Sure, all-things black is the mob wife way of life, but it's 2024, and a rich brown hue can be just as striking. We love this satiny sleeveless dress from Dolce & Gabbana.

Cami Boot Black

Want to take your look to new heights? A heeled, knee-high leather boot is always the answer.

Mini Antigona Bag

Let's get one thing straight: you can't embody the aesthetic without a designer purse, capeesh? Consider a black coc-embossed style courtesy of Givenchy.

Florence Earrings

"The chunkier the jewelry, the better" is the name of the game.

Josey Tights

Leopard printed tights can take an LBD to the next level. In other words, you need it.

Wildior S3U 55MM Geometric Sunglasses

An oversized pair of sunnies is the perfect finishing touch to every mob wife look.

Sardine Small Intrecciato Leather Shoulder Bag

Who says you can't incorporate color into your ensemble? A rich shade, such as burgundy, can make your look pop.
