Is that just me, or has dressing like a mafia wife been one of my fantasies?
Alright, I will admit I probably watch crime movies and read those mob wives’ quotes too often, but HEY, girls just wanna have fun.
Sometimes, that means dressing up as a gangster girl with a look that screams “Shut up or I will punch you”.
These days, gangster girl fashion is having a moment these days with all kinds of possible styles.
From a modern sassy look to a boss lady ensemble, I’ve got you covered.
Below, I’ve gathered 11 tips and 41 looks if you wonder how to dress like gangsters and mob wives.
Enjoy and pin some looks for later reference! <3
1. Blazer as the female gangster essentials
If you want to look like a female gangster on a budget, dig out your blazer and just seal the deal.
Featuring its structured cutting, you just look put together instantly.
Of course, to really spice up the look, let’s not choose the ordinary 9-5 black blazer.
Instead, make a statement with an oversized blazer dress and a corset belt.
I personally prefer a classy look.
That said, think cape blazer and double-breasted blazer that makes you look extra poised.
You know, mob wife is busy with all “Big business” and looking smart in the blazer is a must!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #1:
Use nail polish clear coat on fraying thread ends to stop further unraveling until you can properly repair the item!
The truth is, if you love mob wife fashion, there’s a high chance you are one of the stylish girlies. ❤️❤️❤️

2. Boss up the mafia girl look with a pantsuit
So now you want to look more serious? Well, what about going all-in with the pantsuit set?
As the saying goes, “Dress like what you want to be addressed”.
Getting the fitted pantsuit just makes you look like a million dollars.
Together with a nice pair of sunglasses, this is how you are ready to hit the town.
Basically, there are a ton of variations from this look.
Whether that’s the classic pinstripe pantsuit or the sleeveless waistcoat, this just looks equally tasteful.
For me, I prefer to layer up the set with a coordinated maxi coat on top.
That’s a classy and empowering look with a modern twist.
This padded blazer is everything.
Obsessed.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #2:
Prevent button-down shirts from gapping between buttons by using double-sided fashion tape <3
3. Dress womanly for an Italian mafia look
Needless to say, mobster wives are not only fierce but also drop-dead gorgeous.
Speaking of the classic Italian Mafia look, you have to dress womanly but definitely not girly.
Instead of wearing the mini dress and teeny A-line skirt, go for a bold red midi slit dress that exudes a distinctive sense of confidence.
So yes, an elegant midi bodycon dress is a no-brainer.
As for fabric, think silk, satin, and velvet that look both luxurious and feminine.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #3:Rub clear deodorant on the inside hem of pants/skirts to prevent thigh chafing. ❤️
4. Leather and studs for the badass vibes
For the modern gangster look, you just can’t go wrong with the leather and studs.
For an ” I don’t take no as the answer” fierce look, throw yourself faux leather biker jeans, a vintage graphic tee, and studded combat boots and you’ll be all set.
But here’s a quick reminder, never overdo it.
Wearing all leather and studded pieces from head to toe is definitely not a good look.
You just don’t want people to think you are trying so hard.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #4:Use rolled-up magazine pages to maintain boot shape when storing – truly work wonders imo lol
5. When in doubt, go All-black
Symbolizing power, certainty, elegance, and mystery, an all-black ensemble is a new aesthetic for the mafia style.
If you want to look edgy but not boring in black, I’d say play with fabrics and texture to create dimensions.
Say if you are wearing a tweed blacktop, go for other fabrics for the bottom and shoes.
Black culottes and glossy pointy just work wonders for example.
As a petite girl, an all-black look is my ultimate confidence booster. It just makes me look taller and slimmer visually.
You know she is the “Don’t mess with me” type of baddie.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #5:
Stretch tight shoes by wearing them with thick socks and blowing them with a hairdryer!
6. Stay classy in suspender straps
Can you look vintage for a gangster girl look? Sure thing.
Suspender belts are so underrated these days and it’s time to use them to our advantage.
Just so sassy.
If you want a dash of boyish vibes, team it with dress pants just make people can’t help but wonder “Hmmm…who’s that lady?”
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #7:
Whenever I feel bloated, I’ll always use a rubber band to loop through a button hole and around the button for a temporary fix to pants that are too tight!
7. Go wild with the animal prints
If I ever become a mob wife, this would be my outfit of choice really.
Nothing signifies confidence and wildness more than animal prints, isn’t it?
To put the prints in the spotlight, always keep the rest of your outfit simple and clean for a nice balance.
Speaking of a winter killer look, a sleek turtleneck top and leather leggings just bring the best out of the maxi leopard print coats.
Unbeatable.
❤️ Girl’s fashion hack#8: Keep Jewelry Organized While Traveling hackThread necklaces through drinking straws to prevent tangling – simply clasp the necklace and thread the chain through a straw.
8. Swap out the round-toe shoes and pointy heels
Stiletto heels aren’t for everyone but they are meant to be for mafia wives.
7-inch stiletto heels just somehow signal to you who’s the real boss here and truly, empower your style.
If high heels aren’t your thing, at least switch out the cute round-toe shoes and the pointy heels.
After all, who wants to look sweet and approachable as a female gangster?
❤️Girl’s Beauty hack #9:Go for the budget-friendly retinol body cream for a mild but still noticable skin tightening effect!

I’ve been using this jar for 2 years and it works. That being said, if your skin is sensitive so I’m not too sure can you use it.

9. Hats as a classic mob wife look
In the mafia movies like “Godfather” and “Goodfellas”, you can spot fedora hats everywhere.
This is giving peaky blinders vibes.
Fun fact:
Originating from a man’s hat, a fedora hat also symbolizes the women right’s movement.
So if you wonder what a fedora hat says about you, that has to be strong and independent.
So yes, that’s totally gangster vibes.
Amazon shopping tip!
Look for keywords in the description like “darted,” “tailored,” “stretch,” and “contour fit.”
Avoid terms like “boxy,” “oversized,” or “unstructured” unless that is a specific look you’re going for.
10. Feminine yet fierce makeup
Ladies, it’s not the time for innocent make-up and dewy lips.
Put yourself together with dark eyeshadow, bold red lips, and some contouring that makes you look extra sharp and divine.
For the eyebrows, I’d say the slightly upward, arched eyebrows are the best to display the bossy vibes.
Christmas is coming (in 2 months)!! and in case you want to spoil yourself…

11. Finish up your mafia wife look with accessories
To finish up your gangster girl look, bold accessories are key.
Think chunky sparkly necklaces, chokers, and nice watches.
If that’s not enough, give it a boost with tattoos (stickers) and sunglasses!
