Shawn Mendes debuts new look for 2023 during coffee run in LA

Shawn Mendes showed off his New Year’s short haircut while out for breakfast with friends at Verve Coffee in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The 24-year-old singer looked casual and comfortable in a loose swing sweater with a scarf around his neck.

Shawn wore a fitted white T-Shirt that partially tucked into his black Calvin Klein boxers, blue slacks, and black Birkenstock sandals with white socks.

New ‘do: Shawn Mendes showed off his New Year’s haircut while out for breakfast at Verve Coffee in Los Angeles on Saturday

He had a reusable bottle tucked under his arm as he exited the popular coffee shop.

Fans are most familiar with Shawn’s signature brunette coif which he’s sported since bursting onto the music scene in 2013.

And now 10 years later, the singer appears to be experimenting with an edgier look.

The dramatic haircut appears to be a very recent decision as just last week he rocked his longer hair in a video of himself stripping down to nothing but a tiny pair of black boxers in the snow on the side of a river.

Shawn celebrated Christmas by fully immersing himself in the holiday season wintertime chill. 

Shawn apparently had not apprised some of his friends of his plans ahead of time, as one of them could be heard expressing her amazement.

From behind the camera, a woman in the group marveled: ‘What are you doing?’ as Shawn got undressed ahead of his plunge.

Even he evidently needed a moment to steel himself, as he paused and drew a deep breath before tearing off his sweater and removing his boots.

Shawn then ventured into the water and shouted: ‘Whoo! It’s cold!’ as he lowered himself into the rushing waves to absorb the full experience.

Then as he returned to dry land and put his clothes back on he laughingly confessed to the camera that he could not ‘feel a thing.’ 

‘MERRY CHRISTMAS,’ wrote Shawn in his caption as he posted up his Yuletide video for his staggering 71 million Instagram followers.

The lusted-over pop act, who is used to a bit of cold as he hails from the Toronto suburbs, added a few emoji including the zany face.

Shawn is not the first sex symbol to gift his fans a sizzling ‘polar bear plunge’ video – Hugh Jackman did the same on New Year’s Day 2021.

Postponed: But after just eight shows, Shawn abruptly decided to postpone the tour for three weeks in order to focus on his mental health

Shawn has remained private about his love life since his split from Camila Cabello last November while assuring fans they were ‘best friends.’

An insider alleged to E! News that Shawn ‘initiated’ the breakup talk, leaving Camila initially ‘very upset over the split’ until she ‘agreed’ they ought to separate.

Meanwhile a People source said the romance ‘fizzled’ after the coronavirus lockdowns when their busy work schedules resumed.

Canceled: On July 27, Shawn informed his fans that he’d decided to cancel the tour all together, citing continued struggles with his mental and physical health

‘They had this intense relationship last year and spent months together during the lockdown in Miami. They both seemed very happy and looked like they enjoyed having a break from working,’ dished the insider.

However the dynamic is said to have become ‘different’ with the return of ‘normal life,’ according to the source who spoke to the magazine.

‘They have careers that are taking them in different directions. They went from spending every day together to now not really spending any time together.’

Though he’s taken a step back from music and touring as he continues to work on himself, Shawn recently lent his voice to the title character in the animated film Lyle, Lyle Crocodile.

While promoting the family-friendly flick, he revealed on Good Morning America that he signed on to make a film in the hopes of entertaining children.

Split: Late last year, the Stitches singer split from his girlfriend of two-years, fellow musical artist Camila Cabello; the pair seen in September 2021
