The Criminally Underrated Fashion Style of The Sopranos

Let's delve into the criminally underrated fashion style of HBO's iconic series, The Sopranos, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. In this video, I'm exploring the wardrobe choices of Tony Soprano, the enigmatic mob boss portrayed by James Gandolfini, dissecting the personal style and character journey that unfold through his fashion sense. From Tony's distinct yet understated attire to Furio Giunta's flamboyant Italian flair and Christopher Moltisanti's symbolic color palette, each character's wardrobe tells a story within the larger narrative of the series created by David Chase. As we uncover the significance of Tony's bathrobe, Furio's Versace silk shirts, and Christopher's shifting hues of blue and red, we discover the intricate layers of identity, loyalty, and inner conflict woven into The Sopranos' fabric. With honorable mentions of memorable fashion moments throughout the series, from Artie's stud earring, to A.J.'s Marilyn Manson t-shirts, I invite you to join the conversation and share your favorite fashion highlights from the show. Thank you for watching, and don't forget to subscribe for more content exploring the intersection of style, storytelling, and culture xx

[@sterlingarcher74]

Furio wearing clothing inspired by the goddess Medusa makes sense when you consider his muse, Carmela. In mythology, staring at Medusa kills you by turning you to stone. And in the show, his life is put in danger simply by expressing his desire towards her.

I agree but johnny sack might have him beat in overall style ....plus chris got the maserati off johnny

[@Maya-md9yt]

Love literally everything you post ❤ my dad had the most trash fashion growing up and was a big boss at microsoft. Like he wore shorts and flip flops with baggy short sleeve button downs everyday even though we lived in Seattle… he knew his fashion was trash and it was his statement to the world in a punk rock way. I totally see Tony’s wardrobe as his own power play demonstrating that fads and cultural values can not influence him, he’s fully in control. My dad only changed his fashion when he got a job in Amsterdam and was relentlessly bullied by fashionable Europeans lol

[@KasiaSopniewska]

Hahaha, yes, we Europeans sometimes care way too much about looking stylish. But I love your story and totally get the analogy. Tony is so powerful, respected, and feared that he can literally show up in his white bathrobe, and still, everyone will listen to his commands.

[@michaelbarry7018]

I'll take the heat for it but Ralphie is the best dressed guy in the show

He thinks he’s Sir Walter Raleigh

[@Yamin1348]

Tony's fashion sense was very sleak, but also impressive to me with how they wardrobed him to look intimidating despite the knowledge that he was gaining weight every season, you know, he didn't look like Vito or something. Christopher's had some noticebale 90s italian fashion fits but to me and i'm surprised you didn't mentioned him (maybe because he was killed off early and isn't memorable) Ralph's had some of the best looks with his winter esq fits. His fits were obviously expensive probably go with how he is as a character. He just looked cool though.

[@blacksky3089]

I really like the suit combinations the characters have in the show i never wear suits but they make me want to find my own style with some

[@Eye_Que1725]

You should do a video on Boardwalk Empire. The show did a fantastic job of using clothes and color to show characters’ positions and emotions throughout the show. (Such as Jimmy wearing blue when feeling powerful and brown when feeling vulnerable, Nucky’s suit rotation getting smaller and darker as he gets deeper into crime & Gyp’s clothes projecting his insecurities). Plus it’s a really great show and the clothes look AMAZING.

[@nora-bee]

Honest to god, Boardwalk Empire has best wardrobe of any show ever. Nucky's early suit/overcoat combo looked so stylish and comfy 😂

[@jacob_yancosky]

I found a website that sells shirts Tony wore through out the series . I get like half a dozen compliments Every time I rock one.

Glad this video was made, fashion really adds up to the characters

[@m4x899]

Chrissy’s fits are definitely my favourite. Especially the ones with tight collar shirts and the suit jackets going with them. I really like the special occasion type clothing for some reason.

What a great video!!!! That’s was awesome! Please do a part 2

[@heroedeleyenda05]

This video is perfectly timed. I went to the mall last week. and the sopranos fashion style is unironically in style today. its like THE look this year, every mainstream store had those type of shirts. starting from the older ganster's late 60s/early 70s revival-ish shirts that they wear, to chris' Y2k shirts from the early seasons. you dont believe me? go to your local mall and im all for it! I even made it my goal this year to slim down so that those silk-ish shirts look better on me. Ive always loved that gangster aestetic that are shared in both sopranos and goodfellas. and this year I can finally dress like that without looking like im going to a themed party.

[@bennythelenny9171]

My senior year of high school, I found myself particularly inspired by Mikey Palmice, aka Mr. GQ. So I asked for a gold chain with a St. Michael pendant along with a gold watch for my birthday. I also stocked up on mock turtlenecks to wear with a leather jacket and blazer. It was probably my peak fashion.

if you'd like to look at any other shows for their wardrobe i'd suggest Justified! the people who handle wardrobe for the show do a wonderful job. in the third season for the main villain they gave him different pocket squares for as many suits as they could, various colors and ways of tucking them in. but everyone's well dressed in ways that make sense for their character.
