The ‘mob wife’ trend takes over after quiet luxury — and it’s easier on the wallet
- SUMMARY
The trend of stealth wealth, characterized by understated luxury, is out.
Instead, a more expressive style inspired by the “mob wife” aesthetic is gaining popularity, particularly among young adults.
Bold accessories like gold hoop earrings, leopard print jackets, and vintage fur are key elements of this trend.
The appeal of this “mob wife” style lies in its ability to make a statement and reflect one’s personality.
Moreover, the rise of thrifting and the affordability of achieving this look through secondhand shopping make it accessible to many.
While keeping up with fashion trends can be expensive, experts suggest investing in versatile and timeless pieces that can be updated over time.
