Julia Fox already has a spot in the “no-pants trend” hall of fame. Her commitment to serving looks in an “underwear as outerwear” kind of way is rivaled perhaps only by Hailey Bieber and the Jenner sisters. Yet, her latest take on the fad came with a surprising bit of gender play. The consummate New Yorker was spotted at a Los Angeles gas station in an outfit that had a few highlights (a smart blazer, a tee that read “high class white trash,” and both bag and shoes done up in fuzz), but the real eye catcher was her bottom layer: just a simple pair of gray men’s boxer briefs. You know, the kind you can buy in a three pack. Fox’s version was from one of her favorite brands: Diesel, of course.
Fox, whose friend Tommy Dorfman told us was basically a “performance artist,” was really hitting home on her “high class white trash” thesis statement with the gas station photo opp, but compared to her previous experiments with no-pants dressing, this one was basically unisex. Which begs the question… are we ready for the possibility of the no pants trend on men? Fox seems to be daring the guys to join her and showing them the way.
Right on cue, Shawn Mendes took to Instagram to tell us “…maybe?” Or at least to remind us that a certain trend of pantsless dressing for men exists, in the comfort of their own homes (perhaps after a long day of work while watching the game). While Julia was wearing boxer briefs and a blazer, Mendes, posting about the importance of attuning oneself with nature, uploaded a photo of himself in the transitional weather ’fit of boxer briefs and a knit sweater (though seemingly far from the public eye).
For more serious evidence, we might look to the runway.
