Shawn Mendes: Minimalist Menswear with a Soft Edge

By: Paulina Guajardo

Shawn Mendes is no stranger to attention, but lately, his style has been speaking louder than ever—without raising its voice. In 2025, Shawn has fully embraced a minimalist menswear aesthetic that’s clean, soft, and a little unexpected. At Paris Fashion Week this season, he turned heads not with something loud or wild—but with subtle, thoughtful simplicity.

At the Loewe Fall/Winter 2024–2025 show, Shawn arrived shirtless under a sage green hooded parka, paired with high-waisted tailored trousers and a delicate silver chain. The outfit was understated but carefully constructed—each element intentionally chosen to communicate calm confidence. He finished the look with slicked-back hair and his signature smolder, turning minimalist into magnetic.

What makes Shawn’s current style so captivating is how stripped back it is. Instead of flashy designer logos or maximalist layers, he’s leaning into soft tailoring, muted colors, and luxe-but-laid-back pieces that reflect an evolution from pop heartthrob to quiet icon. It’s clear that he’s dressing for comfort and self-assurance rather than applause—and ironically, that’s what makes his style so applause-worthy.

Off the runway, Mendes keeps the vibe going with soft knits, earth-tone button-downs, and relaxed slacks. Think: California coastal meets European tailoring. It’s the kind of style that feels both aspirational and achievable—something fans can recreate with a few solid wardrobe staples.

In a moment when men’s fashion often swerves into extremes (either too flashy or too plain), Shawn Mendes is finding a stylish middle ground. And by doing so, he’s redefining what modern masculinity in fashion can look like: grounded, elegant, and quietly bold.
