10 Things Shawn Mendes Can't Live Without | GQ

this is like how many guitars I have way too many for for how many how long I've been collecting guitars I have like 35 or 40 guitars which is a lot of guitars for like only three four years of collecting what's up GQ I'm Shawn Mendes and these are my essentials out of order I have this Kevin Murphy hair piece that I use this stuff is basically what I've been using since I had hair basically I switch between a couple this is my favorite use your hair gets used to paste after a while and then you have to switch it up but this is the one that works the best for me and smells the best I think you know got to have the hair looking good for photos and moving on Tom Ford sunglasses this is the first time I've ever traveled with the case I was very happy with myself today I always scratch them and if you scratch these it's just like it's pointless to have them these ones I've been through too many it's not cool I keep losing them but they're cool I just like how they fit they're really nice quality sunglasses and it feels like you're looking through some like special lens even though I'm sure they're no different than any others fair I used to wear other sunglasses but in the last couple years has kind of been Tom Ford for me I get super attached to like items whether it's sunglasses or you know watch our shoes or something and then it's it's really randomly I'll just switched my entire thing someone would be like wearing a pair of sunglasses and I'll try them on and then I'll be on that for like two years I'm super strict about the the lens coloring I hate it when it's like a dark lens it has to be like the sepia lens you make the world look a little nicer yeah this is a Louie Vuitton wallet it actually has my initials as you can see oh now you're gonna have to blur out all my credit card information the story of this is actually pretty cool it was one of my best friend's weddings I actually wrote him and his wife's first dance song and I performed it while they danced at the wedding and then kind of as a present and a thank you they got me this awesome wallet so that's pretty good luck for me my friends from home are pretty good they would actually rather not hear me sing because they've heard me sing my entire life but definitely you know with newer friends there's a lot of hey man you wanna sing that song you wanna pick up the guitar but it's cool I like to it's fun I figured this would be kind of interesting to bring to you guys so these are called Quinton isotonix actually Calvin Harris put me on these I went to a studio and he had these in this like this glass bowl and he was like dude try them they're really good for you and basically what it is is it's a placebo I'm trying to read what they're saying in the back so it's like purified like seawater it sounds so stupid it's like purified seawater and minerals in here that's supposed to keep you really healthy but basically it's just fun because it's glass you break one end [Music] drink it and then you put it back and then I drink like four a day if I die this is the reason or if I live forever this is also the reason so if you want to be a super placebo freak like me and think this is making you very healthy go for it Quinta nice and calming the fan got me there's a leather-bound book and this is a quite new thing that I've been doing just like at the end of the day writing down you know what I want in life and then also writing down what I'm grateful for I think it's cool to kind of take time and and just spend some time thinking about those types of things so it's definitely essential for me whether or not I'm writing it every day it just feels good to be able to when you want to write down your thoughts if I remember correctly I got it in Europe when I was in Europe because I think I started doing this when I was in Germany a fan got this from me I wish I knew her name whoever you are thank you I use it I figured bring in the genes cuz I have about 10,000 pairs of black skinny jeans because it's whatever onstage and it's what I wear 24/7 these are the pair of our 13 jeans the classic distressed look goes with everything man what you need of these ones like 80 pairs of black pants I know there's some people who like don't wash jeans at all but I don't know that's what you're supposed to do I have no idea really I feel it makes you did this look saggy if you want to keep these skinny you gotta wash them and an Armani shirt they're probably the most comfortable long-sleeve or even t-shirts you can wear and they're perfect for me because long days of traveling on the plane it feels like I'm just wearing a nice comfy shirt so I'm obsessed with them to look good too I have this ring I got this in Japan is from a store called sympathy of soul I was trying to find something that was very special I get very attached to jewellery I think that it holds a lot of you know lucky value and I can't take it off now I think that it's all my luck it's two Leafs oh you know what it is a feather is take it back it's two feathers [Music] this is one of my absolute favorite items and I'm very proud and very happy that I have it this is my ap it's like my first real kind of watch collectors watch I wear it pretty much every day now I'm obsessed with it I wasn't a watch guy for a long time until I met John Mayer and he's definitely he's probably the most watch guy I've ever met and he actually was the one who told me to get this guy so yeah I started collecting watches about a year ago and I'm definitely really into them they look awesome I wear boots for like a year until they're like really really messed up and then I switch them I think these are st. Laurel I'm pretty specific with my boots I'm never really wearing running shoes outside of going to the gym so the boots got to be comfortable and they got to look nice and I really like these ones I actually just scratched them yesterday I'm not happy about that this case has been through basically all the tours with me you can tell because of all of the fragile stickers from all of the airports I used to try sneaking them onto the planes but they're really big and people get frustrated so yeah I check them this case is a great case though I bet I tore with this case everywhere I go got this little thing here that has all my info on it so I can't lose it classic guitar case [Music] this is a 1959 Martin I got this actually at a guitar Center in Hollywood believe it or not I just love it because it's very easy to play if I don't have a guitar on me I would go insane because if I have an idea and I can't get it down I feel like I'm losing my best idea so I kind of just decided like bring it everywhere you go probably low soon right now yeah I'm obsessed with it actually my favorite thing about this guitar is how dead it is which for recording an album is kind of perfect I got this like the week before I started writing the album so it's kind of fading a little bit for me I find it has a very calming thing to do especially like when I'm on social media for a really long time and I'm like what am i doing right now I just pick up the guitar keep me entertained for hours [Music] you
