The PUMA Chrome Roads capsule was created for that on-the-go lifestyle. Drawing inspiration from the ingenuity of youth culture, the collection features techy and futuristic designs with an uncomplicated precision that translates well to the everyday commute. Using some of our favourite items from the collection, we put together a look that looks forward to the future of fashion.
The Shoes
The capsule’s palette of reflective black and grey with orange details is echoed in its footwear. A combination of technical materials with practical lightweight elements emphasize versatility and durability, as highlighted in the PWRFrameOP-1. Showcasing a mixture of shiny and matte fabrics with utilitarian detailing, it’s a futuristic shoe ready to be worn today.
The Outfit
Youth culture is at the forefront of modern fashion and the new conceptions from the latest line embrace just that. Carve new paths that crisscross into the future with an assortment of utilitarian apparel pieces including classic t-shirts and hoodies plus techy zip-off pants and a water-repellent shell jacket.
We gravitated towards the thoughtful tee in black with its intricate and minimalistic front branding. Slung over top comes the comfy grey hoodie with a deliberate outline. Also picked from the line, this sportstyle essential has matching branding on the backside and a characteristic cut that assures its place as a daily staple in your wardrobe. Paired here with retro-chic orange joggers that show drawstring legged detailing and a rich hue that matches the elements of orange splashing throughout.
Then, dubbed this year’s winter style hack, this utility vest was snatched from the capsule and persists as the perfectly on-trend statement piece. There is a rise of technical wear in the fashion world and this vest, made of packable and lightweight material, is both functional and ultra fashionable. Plus, it offers a multitude of pocket options ready to store the modern man’s essentials.
We’re also seeing a lot of slouchier silhouettes this season as comfort continues to reign king. Oversized outerwear leaves lots of room to get creative with the pieces worn underneath, allowing you to play with depth through varying textures and tones. So baggy hoodies and boxy puffer jackets are a winning combo, really bolstering your ability to layer whilst maximizing warmth and style. This quilted black down jacket with contrasting and intricate detailing complements the high-tech features of the collection, but the water-repellent shell jacket from the Chrome Roads line could have also finished the look nicely.
The Accessories
Continue the theme with accessories that are minimal yet purposeful. A functional shoulder bag matches the grey/black/orange palette established in the rest of the look, while an always-cool cashmere beanie in black tops off the elevated everyday vibe and adds an interesting textural touch. A shadowy polycarbonate watch is high-end while still being lowkey; a black belt with a unique silver buckle closure aligns with the innovative use of tools such as buckles and zippers, shown in the capsule. Finally, square glasses with a mild gold rim are an it-accessory that round off the outfit with a kind of old school meets new school feel.
