Irish actor Paul Mescal, known for his breakout role in Normal People and a distinct sense of style, is once again using his wardrobe for a good cause. Mescal has launched a collection of his iconic outfits for sale to raise funds for Pieta, an Irish suicide prevention charity.
Mescal has made waves in the fashion world before, whether it was the chain his character wore in Normal People or the tiny shorts he was photographed wearing while running through London and Dublin. Now, his focus is on cardigans—a staple of his wardrobe during his Gladiator II press tour.
Pieces on sale include a custom hand-painted silk knit jumper by Scottish designer BW Marks, a red AV Vattev lace-up cardigan, and an Extreme Cashmere crewneck jumper. Prices range from £210 for the cardigan to £800 for Jimmy Choo leather boots, with all proceeds going to Pieta.
According to his stylist Felicity Kay, Mescal has a deep connection to vintage and pre-loved fashion, often rewearing styled items or incorporating pieces from his own wardrobe. His latest collection reflects this ethos, including a blue-and-white vintage T-shirt among other standout garments.
The collection is expected to raise £3,545 if sold at full price. It will be available through the Vinted account felicitykaystudio starting December 16.
While many fans admire Mescal’s fashion choices, some remain divided. His fitted red cardigan, worn on The Graham Norton Show, sparked discussion online. Social media users joked about its snug fit, while some Reddit users criticized the look as "horrible" or "broken."
This isn’t the first time Mescal has leveraged his fashion fame for charity. In 2020, he sold the silver chain his Normal People character Connell Waldron famously wore, raising €70,340 for Pieta. The chain even inspired an Instagram account, @connelschain, which amassed over 130,000 followers.
Mescal’s latest charity initiative underscores his commitment to giving back while staying true to his unique style. With his vintage-inspired collection hitting the virtual shelves soon, fans have another chance to own a piece of his wardrobe and support a meaningful cause.
