Fame wasn’t the only reason all eyes were on Paul Mescal at the spring 2025 men’s shows; his tiny shorts had something to do with it too. The actor, who is known to sport short-shorts on his runs, set aside athleisure in favor of a more fashionable pair when dressing for Sabato De Sarno’s Gucci show. Channeling a modern day version of Tom Ford in Risky Business, Mescal wore his striped, boxer-style shorts with a logo button-down, socks, and loafers. He wasn’t alone in showing off some leg, either; scroll below to see how showgoers in Florence and Milan worked the trend.
