STYLING
STAFF STYLE FT. THE NEW PUMA PALERMOS
By Alice Doleman, 20 October 2023
🇮🇹 ATTENZIONE, hypebeasts 🇮🇹 there's a new It shoe in town: the absolutely stunning PUMA Palermos. Inspired by the Sicilian city🍝, the archive 80s design comes in five fresh colourways, with whether a minimalist silhouette that works with any look. To prove that the styling ops are truly infinito, we asked four ASOSers to try them out AND tell us their top tips for nailing transitional style 📸
EVY, [SHE/HER], ENTRY BUYERS ADMINISTRATOR
In the black PUMA Palermos, £75, Topshop denim maxi and moto jacket [see similar].
Hey Evy, the outfit is *everything*. What was your inspo for this look?
My look was inspired by some of the cool trends I saw at Copenhagen Fashion Week. I love the balletcore-meets-football-revival look – some feminine touches mixed with more traditionally masculine tones and materials ✨
Love. And what were your thoughts on the PUMA Palermos after a wear?
These are some of the comfiest trainers I've worn, but they still look so sleek! I love a pair of trainers I can style with lots of different looks in my wardrobe and these definitely fit that brief.
So true, and they're available in so many colours, too 💟 What’s your top tip for bringing colour into your autumn/winter wardrobe?
I love to bring a pop of colour in via my shoes! It’s an easy way to bring a fun vibe to your outfit without having to invest in lots of different items. Or, I'd recommend having fun with jackets or coats. These pieces are normally more basic and neutral colours, so a bright colour feels a bit unexpected.

Showing us how to add a pop of pink (and green) into a 'fit ft. PUMA Palermos, £75, ASOS DESIGN jeans, COLLUSION gilet and lace hoodie.
Hey Luke 👋, can you talk us through your A/W style?
It varies a lot, but generally, I love using the colder months as an excuse to dress in vintage tracksuits and denim layering. I also like to play with a more grungey style in the winter, it feels spookier and fitting for the time of year!
We see that in this look for sure 🕷️ Can you talk us through it plz?
I wanted to take inspo from the SS24 runways and mix hardware, prints and lace with contrasting colours. I’ve really been enjoying seeing pattern and texture clashes with loads of unique layering (hence my choice of two belts). It feels chaotic but in an intentionally grungey way. I chose a mix of women’s and men’s pieces, too, because it felt nice to play with femininity and masculinity.
You ate 🍽️ Now, what were your thoughts on the Palermos?
The new colours feel super-fresh and playful! And overall, the design is really easy to style. I had no issue hitting 10k steps in these!
How else would you style the Palermos this season? 👟
I’d like to style them in a sportier way. Maybe with loungewear? Maybe a cute matching tracksuit for a little Y2K moment? Something nostalgic!

BIMBOLA, [SHE/HER], SENIOR ASSISTANT BUYER
Sporting a Topshop co-ord, bomber jacket [similar Topman pick linked] and bag, and the green PUMA Palermos, £75.
We can't wait to hear what you thought about the Palermos! Spill plz... ☕️
I absolutely love the sleek, playful design of these trainers. The colour levels are perfect for those cosy autumn outfits and they're comfy, too 🍁
Agreed! How else are you planning on styling the Palermos this autumn/winter?
I can't wait to wear this with a knitted maxi dress and trench coat. Talk about an elite transitional outfit!
Do you have your eyes on any other ASOS or PUMA picks currently?
To be honest, I’m SO ready for my winter coat!! I’ve had my eyes on this ASOS DESIGN top collar boyfriend coat in mushroom…so I’m just waiting for payday lol 🫠

Giving off-duty vibes in clean PUMA Palermos, £75, chocolate Topshop jeans (similar linked) and a fluffy knit (similar linked here).
Hey Sophie. The shoes are inspired by Palermo, so let's talk Italy! What inspires you about the country?
This is so boring but the food. Oh wait – and the films, fashion, places, architecture, art... the list goes on. I can defs see why PUMA found inspiration there 🫶
You're right, it's too hard to choose 😭 Back to the Palermos, what did you think of them?
Very into them. I love all the colourways (green was my second choice) but this white pair are so clean and fresh, and I know I'll be able to pick anything out of my wardrobe and it's all gonna ✨make sense✨. Case in point: I've mixed autumnal tones with them and love how it all looks. Also – everyone's said this, but they're super-comfy. After a spray of Crep Protect, these babies aren't leaving my feet.
Nor should they!! Last up, what's your top tip for nailing transitional style? ❄️
Don't shy away from colour. It's so easy to reach for all-black outfits (and I love them), but that's everyone's go-to during winter and it can get a little overplayed. So, defs mix things up with a pop of colour somewhere – could be your bag, scarf... or pink Palermos!
