The Most Lethal Mafia Fits Ever

The costume department was issued $1 million for the Casino wardrobe. It’s not surprising, given that Ace was based on the real-life character that was Frank Lawrence ‘Lefty’ Rosenthal, who reportedly stunted looks even more neck-cranking than De Niro! 

Madone! 

Tony Soprano, The Sopranos (1999 – 2007) 
Billowing bowling shirts, luxe bathrobes, Gucci loafers and pendulous Rolex, Tony Soprano’s wardrobe across The Sopranos six seasons is still killer. Everybody’s favourite melancholic mobster, Tony’s sense of style was certainly not as sodden as his mood, the New Jersey mob boss concealing his ever-expanding waistline with luxe silk shirts and khaki chinos. 

An elevated expression of the New Jersey ‘everyman’ style, Tony Soprano’s garbs still retain a cult following within the Internet’s style-savvy enclaves, countless IG accounts and op-ed’s a testament to the boss’s enduring legacy. 

Henry Hill, Goodfellas (1990) 
Another Martin Scorsese mobster tour de force, Goodfellas follows the story of notorious gangster Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) and his uncompromising rise to the top. Hill serves as the sartorial and narrative lynchpin to Scorsese’s depiction of NYC’s mean streets, the Italian-Irish Brooklynite offering us a snapshot of the borough in the 1960s and 1970s. Spearpoint collars, ivory silk sports jackets and alligator tassel loafers serve to aesthetically reinforce Hill’s rise to power, the intrepid 70s look recently enjoying a resurgence among style circles in 2021.
