There are shows we love. Shows we love to hate. Shows that keep us up at night trying to solve. And shows where we’re so jealous of the costuming we have the urge to turn them off.
But very few shows charm us anymore. Only Murders in the Building is one of those rare shows.
Don’t worry. We won’t turn this into a review no one’s paying us to write. But there is something simultaneously nostalgic and entirely new about the OMITB. This is true of everything from the characters to the set designs, and of course, to the clothes.
The clothes have so much character. Color. Layers. Prints. Patterns. Coziness. Luxury. All of it works together to make everything look impeccably styled and exciting. The pieces are undeniably unique but feel grounded in something warm and sentimental.
More importantly, they are so perfect for fall we couldn’t help but dig deep into the closets of The Arconia and bring you our favorite versions our favorite pieces.
And here they are without further ado:

1. THE COCOONING TURTLENECKS
Aritzia
Cashmere Mockneck Sweater
The sweaters are such a huge part of the show that we wait eagerly each week to see what new ones will show up. So where else would we start this article but with the ultimate, cloud-like, cocooning, cream turtleneck?
Price: $124
Banana Repulic Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater
This cashmere turtle is the one we all dream of owning in any color, but Bloody Mabel’s very own red version had us sleuthing the internet for replicas. And here is the absolute best of them.
Price: $250

2. THE PLAID + PRINTED SKIRTS
Boden Flippy Wool Skirt
Wearing a bright color on top with plain black on the bottom can read very The Limited 1992 and actually make us look older. There’s a clever solution in styling a plaid or houndstooth skirt with a vibrant top or sweater. It creates lots of balance and keeps things textured and exciting. Plus, a short or more fitted skirt also helps balance a more oversized or boxy sweater.
Price: $199
J.McLaughlin Suzette Skirt in Glen Plaid
And if short will just never be your thing, it’s hard to question the sophistication of this plaid column skirt.
Price: $198

3. THE STATEMENT COATS
Aritzia
The Emilie Coat Soft Wool Cashmere
Why none of us have a cream coat instead of boring old black and tan one is beyond us.
Price: $350
Universal Standard Callaghan Wool Coat
Mabel’s coat collection is dizzying in no small part because the colors are so thrilling. We were shocked we could find a match for her incredible mustard winter coat. But we have. And the size range is the best we’ve seen.
Price: $368
Boden Edinburgh Swing Coat
We honestly started looking for this coat the minute a similar one showed up on the one and only Olivia Pope in Scandal. It took many seasons of many shows, including OMITB, before we found it. But we have! It’s an investment, but such is often the case with a beautiful, lifetime winter coat.
Price: $459

4. The COZY-CHIC PULLOVERS
& Other Stories Mohair-Blend Puff-Sleeve Jumper
We’d be shocked if this wasn’t already in the sweater drawer of Mabel’s newly reno’d apartment.
Price: $139
Aritzia Wilfred
Sonder Sweater
The coziest of cozy sweaters that comes in many colors we know Mabel would have owned. And too many we currently want.
Price: $118

5. The 70S NODS
Tuckernuck Toffee Suede Bailey Dress
We almost feel like we could write a whole article about this dress. For starters it’s the perfect, “quiet luxury,” skimming fall dress to layer over tights and fitted long-sleeve tees or turtlenecks. But second, there are so many variations of it we love. For example, in addition to this real suede version (which is admittedly an investment), there’s THIS* faux suede that achieves the same mod effect.
Price: $35 for the faux suede, $498 for the real suede
Reformation Taryn Two Piece
We love an outfit that comes ready made. If it’s chilly and you want to fully recreat Mabel’s foolproof fall look, add any black long-sleeve or turtleneck underneath.
Price: $298

6. THE GINGHAM TROUSERS
Sézane Martin Crop Trousers
Black and white pants mean we can wear black or white tops and look 17X more interesting than if we just wore a solid bottom. Add a pop-of-color sweater or shoe for extra oomph.
This pair from Sézane is the spitting image of those worn in the show. However, if you’re afraid of wearing patterns on the bottom, try THIS* pair from Anthropologie which is magic on curves.
Price: $160

7. THE GRANDPA CARDIS
The Sutton Cardigan Sweater by Maeve
Like we said, nostalgia. But wear it with jeans and poof, you’re leading the fashion curve.
Price: $148
Dressed In Lala Get What I Want Grandpa Check Cardigan
The style feels as cool and casual as a million things we wore in the 90s, but the knit makes it feel very high-end.
Price: $92

8. The SINGULAR TrenchES
Karen Millen Colour Block Belted Tailored Trench Coat
Weirdly this coat matches everything, while making anything you wear under it instantly high fashion.
Of course, there are those of us who love the concept but don’t want to go full two-tone. For us, there’s THIS* classic option. And it’s a wildly good price.
Price: $399
Sandro Pleated trench coat with belt
Ok, this is THE exact coat Mabel wore in the show. And since it is perhaps the most lustworthy item on this entire list and it’s STILL available, we had to share it. Yes, it’s quite a splurge, but is there anything else in the world quite like it?
Price: $855
