Google Trends:

  • Over the past year, searches started at 52 and dropped to 37 — a 29% decline.

  • Surges happened around October and January, likely driven by cold-weather fashion and awards season styling.

  • The biggest drops also followed those spikes — classic trend fatigue.

The mob wife look isn’t going anywhere…it’s just hibernating until fall. Expect a resurgence in October with the return of faux fur, layered lace, and moody gold accessories.

Buy low now, because when fall hits, the mob wives will rise again.
