      Tony had a fantastic array of shirts - two tones, Hawaiians and funky, almost Picasso-esque checks, but nothing beats his iconic bathrobe in my opinion

    It's an incredibly diverse form of fashion tht highlights the early 2000s, but it's easy to see how Carmela would never wear what Adriana does, and Adriana would never wear Carmela's wardrobe either. The show was incredibly good at having the female characters stand on their own, even in their appearance, no matter the similarities. One of the keys to a great cinematic masterpiece is the wardrobe

    • @KasiaSopniewska
      @KasiaSopniewska  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      You're so right! I also love that both Dr. Melfi and Carmela wear tailored suits, but their color palettes are so different: Carmela is all about her pretty pastels and Jennifer almost exclusively wears neutral beiges, greys, and blacks.

    It’s funny because in retrospect Ariana’s style is considered stylish (similar to the main character in the Nanny) but at the time, these characters were specifically styled to look lowerclass and new money. A lot of their style staples (low rise pants, prints, heavy lip liner, etc) were meant to visually convey that they are new to money as a lot of these trends were still associated with hip hop artists and streetwear. These styles are now all lumped together as being iconically 90s but they were very clear low status symbols at the time, similar to high color wigs, nail art, and clear heels which used to be relegated to “ghetto” black girls but have now been adopted as mainstream late 2010s fashion touchstones

    the Adriana outfit I love the most is when she wears green and white while standing outside of the airport with Chris in a neck brace. it's the most simple but it's one of her most hilarious moments. (the Roberto cavalli tiger dress is her most stunning tho I need that in my closet)

  • @katana2k
    @katana2k 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +19

    I thought Carmella's personal appearance reflected her character and motivations, not necessarily the trends of the time. In the earlier seasons, she was happy to indulge in the lifestyle provided by Tony, but as the show went on, she moved away from that indulgence, spending less money on hair, makeup and nails. As the possibility of life without Tony became more real, she became more practical in her choices, and economical in her personal life. She is seen less playing tennis and more studying for her real estate license, less getting her nails done and more squirrelling money into bank accounts and investments. I thought she got her haircut because short hair is easier to manage.

    How do I explain that I want to dress like Adriana, not in a trend-worshipping terminally TikTok-using “mob wife” way, but like someone who dresses as extravagantly and flamboyantly as they want and doesn’t care what anyone thinks and is effortlessly cool about it?

    This was excellent, I love your videos. I grew up watching this show, but secretly because my parents would have flipped with all the violence and profanity.
    I always like Medow, the mob princess of the show. I loved Carmela's outfits, her big rings and bracelets. My mom was more of Liz Claiborne/Chanel bag type mom. Very 90s conservative. I once bought her a cheetah print top and she never wore it 😂
    I was obsessed with everything leopard and cheetah at 16-20 (Guess clothes were my staples) and my parents forbidden me to wear certain clothes to family events.
    I didn't dress as revealing as Adrianna's attire. But if you have to wear a plaid skirt, blazer and tie everyday for school for a decade you go a little crazy on dress down day.

    • @KL-uv3ts
      @KL-uv3ts 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      Just my opinion, but: I think the way The Sopranos was overlooked for its fashion had more to do with classism than SATC -- SATC was seen as experimental and daring, but that hinged on how its mains were bohemian artists, high-powered Manhattanites, or WASP princesses. But the characters of the Sopranos were nouveau riche from New Jersey, deemed crude and vulgar even in designer. The popularity of the mob wife aesthetic now has a least a little to do with how "guido" style went from endlessly mocked to emulated in the 2010s, but coming out of 90s minimalism the fashion scene didn't respect animal prints or sparkles or bold jewelry. Even SATC took a few years to get really colorful.
