Morphology
permastubble + style
The phrase is largely compositional: 'permastubble' can be parsed as a blend of 'perma-' (permanent) + 'stubble' and 'style' denotes a fashion, so the overall meaning 'a consistently maintained short stubbly beard look' is recoverable by decomposition. However, 'permastubble' is a non-standard nonce blend and relies on recognizing the prefix and the less frequent word 'stubble', so many B1 learners who only know the listed constituents might not immediately infer the exact sense.
Etymology
Permastubble style comes from the parts perma (meaning 'permanent' or 'always') and stubble (the short beard hair you get after a few days). Picture someone who keeps that short, even stubble all the time, so it means 'a deliberately kept short, even beard look'.
