STAFF STYLE FT. THE NEW PUMA PALERMOS

In the black PUMA Palermos, £75, Topshop denim maxi and moto jacket. 

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 a a pop of colour 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 coloured one feels a bit unexpected.

Sporting a Topshop co-ord, bomber jacket 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 these 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 🫠

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 to the time of year!

We see that in this look for sure 🕷️ Can you talk us through it?

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 (like 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 are your thoughts on the Palermos? 

The new colours feel super-fresh and playful, and the design is really easy to style. I also had no issue hitting 10k steps in them!

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!

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 is 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 <3

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, maybe even a Riri-inspired fluffy hat – or pink Palermos!
