With the approaching launch of his fifth studio album Shawn, the musician Shawn Mendes—who, currently, has been sporting some scruffy facial hair and a head of curls to rival Michelangelo’s David—appears to be occupying an earthier airplane. After taking a while off touring round his final file, Mendes is again on the highway. Which is to say, he’s hitting the pleasant skies.
Arriving at New York Metropolis’s John F. Kennedy Worldwide Airport on Wednesday, Mendes wore a dialed-down journey ensemble: a reversible chocolate-brown/black zip-up hoodie over a white ribbed tank, with darkish blue Helmut Lang carpenter denims and flat-soled black leather-based footwear. (One of many singer’s journey companions additionally opted for a hoodie, although his was within the polar-opposite shade of Cheetos-Puffs orange.) He carried a knapsack and a well-worn acoustic guitar case, a.okay.a. the heartthrob-iest accent of all.

During the last a number of weeks, Mendes has worn quite a lot of tank tops (ribbed A-tanks, muscle tees, cut-off shirts) throughout his latest spate of stay reveals selling Shawn, which is due out in November. In response to a latest dialog between Mendes and fellow style-minded singer-songwriter John Mayer for Interview, the lived-in coziness of Mendes’s present wardrobe foreshadows the sound of his upcoming LP.
“I really like the best way you’re positioning this music on social media, the place it’s black and white. The album feels very clear and smooth,” Mayer informed Mendes. “It’s like what you’re carrying. It’s a white T-shirt and grey sweatpants. The aesthetic of what you’re posting is so true to the music, it blows me away.”
