'Sun vs Shawn Mendes'
Mendes' recent post from Mexico had fans expressing concern over his skin's exposure to the sun. OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder advised, "Protek that skin bruhhhh." Another fan empathized, "When you're not diving in freezing water, you're out in the sun without sunscreen. We want to protect you, but you don't want to be protected." Singer Dan Berk joked, "Shawn, do you want me to put sunscreen on you?" Even MTV's official account offered to help, stating, "I'll rub in your aloe if you need me to." Another fan, Seth Bishop, quipped, "Sun vs Shawn Mendes."
Comedian Darcy Michael added his humorous take, saying, "Welp, time to dress myself up as a bottle of aloe," while Juan Espinoza made an unrelated comment, "Bring me nachos, dad."

Another fan commented, "it’s not a Shawn Mendes caption if it’s not slightly confusing."
Mendes promotes crop tops among men
Aside from his sunburn, Shawn is making headlines for his recent comments on men wearing crop tops. The singer, who is collaborating with Tommy Hilfiger, shared his thoughts at the brand's event in London, stating, "I think the crop tops, they're just… they're super beautiful. They look great on men, so don't be afraid to pick them up, guys. They look good."
In an interview with Evening Standard, Shawn further emphasized his point while discussing his and music producer Mike Sabath's choice to wear crop tops from Hilfiger's latest collection. "We put the crop on him and were like - hot. That's it. Like, yes. He would look amazing in anything. I think it's just a representation of what clothing is today, you know, that masculine-feminine thing," he explained.
