“They look great on men. So don’t be afraid to pick them up, guys.”
The star appeared in good spirits as he arrived at the event and greeted eager fans.
Posing for a photo with the man himself, Shawn cosied up to Tommy Hilfiger and offered cameras a peace sign.
Tommy looked equally suave in a double breasted navy blue suit and crisp white shirt.
The new Tommy x Shawn Classics Reborn campaign was shared on Shawn's Instagram account last week.
The Treat You Better singer revealed his toned chest alongside several other models, including Elon Musk's mother, Maye, while showing off several offerings from his new collection with Hilfiger.
The There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back singer described the items in his collection as 'clothing made from discarded fabrics, coloured with memories and reborn into new icons.'
Mendes recently spoke about collaborating with Tommy Hilfiger during an interview with Vogue UK, where he revealed that his mother was a longtime fan of the brand. For Tommy to be accepting of the idea of having my friends and family in the videos was really amazing and I can't thank Tommy enough for that,' he said.
The clothing designer went on to speak to the media outlet about collaborating with the singer.
'We've always worked with icons in pop culture and Shawn is the indisputable icon of this genre and of today,' he said.
Hilfiger added: 'For us, it's important to work with cultural pioneers who can bring a distinct perspective to all of these pieces.
'Otherwise classics can be very boring.' It’s not uncommon for guys to succumb to some sartorial slip-ups every once in a while. Whether it’s an unruly pair of trousers that don’t hang at the right length or a limp and lifeless collar, style errors are unforgivable.
But ill-fitting suits are a completely different kettle of fish. Pop singing sensation Shawn Mendes seems to think differently though, as he stepped out in a suit that takes ‘skinny’ style to a whole new level. Sauntering into the American Music Awards in LA on November the 24th, Mendes rocked a suit that wouldn’t look out of place on a Ken doll.
The suit in question is a custom Paul Smith design – a brand Mendes has worn on previous occasions – with the suit jacket being the focal point of the outfit; although crop top would be a better way of describing it. Despite being shorter than what we’re used to seeing on the red carpet, the Canadian singer – who won the award for best collaboration with Camila Cabello – rocks it with confidence, with the deep purple colour complementing the green shirt collar. Mendes teams the suit with YSL boots to complete the ultra-indie ensemble.
Not everyone is a fan of his latest outing though, with several people on Instagram leaving negative comments. Stylist Lauren Paterni said: “Once again doesn’t fit him well at all,” while another referenced the custom nature of the Paul Smith suit, saying: “How do you get a custom suit and it’s not even your size?”.
