Styling Your New Balance 550s: 5 Fall Outfits

Oct 11, 2023

Just how much do we love the New Balance 550s? As much as we love autumn. For starters, though, the shoes are ridiculously comfy, befitting the New Balance brand. And we love that late ’80s hoops look to balance out modern fits. 

So why not embrace the popularity of the shoes this fall and create New Balance 550 outfits that exude some of that retro goodness with cozy, style-forward looks? 

Here are five New Balance 550 outfit ideas for any gender.

Autumn Leaves & the Remainder of Summer

Want to preserve a bit of the summertime flavor in your fall looks? A green outfit will do the trick. Select the nuanced style of a Sea Salt and Green New Balance 550s and pair it with a mock neck olive sweatshirt, high-rise pants and an autumn-leading snapback hat

Fall outfits are all about cozy textures, so adding soft suede to your sneaks gives you instant style points! Choose a pair of royal blue New Balance 550s to add to your distressed denim pants, graphic tee and Nike Tech fleece fit. Then head to your favorite coffee shop for a warm, seasonal beverage.

Do You Remember the 21st Night of September?

The Earth, Wind and Fire bop is probably on your dad's fall playlists. If you really want to channel dad, why not connect with a shoe he’d definitely wear? Cop the men’s New Balance 550 in white and navy — as any practical Pop would — and complete the look with a cream-colored fleece sweatshirt and a pair of navy adidas Tiro shorts. You’re not a regular dad, after all; you’re a cool dad. Bonus points if you argue with the ref at your kids’ fall soccer game.

Cozy Sweater (or Fleece) Weather

Create an office- or class-casual look with wide-leg jeans, a fitted tee and a trench coat or long, oversized fleece. Pop on a pair of women’s New Balance 550s in a Sea Salt and Verdigris colorway with its retro-style suede and mesh materials. Finish the look with a matte lip, a slicked-back bun and a pair of thick gold hoops or teardrop earrings. Throw your keys, phone and just the essentials into a crossbody.

Bonfire Attire

Go the shacket route for evenings in front of a campfire, bonfire or fireplace. A red and white plaid shacket perfectly lends itself to a men’s New Balance 550 outfit featuring red, black and white shoes, black Nike Tech joggers and a white graphic tee. Make sure you have s’mores ingredients on hand

The 550s are definitely a must-have trending shoe this fall. Find them online and in stores at Hibbett | City Gear!
