Skimpy Swim For The Win
You are probably thinking… 'Is it really socially acceptable to wear a pair of budgie smugglers on my weekend trip to the beach? Don’t I have to be a pro swimmer to own a pair?'
The answer is no! These men's briefs are designed to be worn anywhere and everywhere. And for everybody - all ages, shapes and sizes. Feeling confident in your skin, and being yourself is the real trend this summer! With our range of different styles and matching prints, there's a cool trunk for everyone. Why not make it a family affair? Grab a pair of Funky Trunks this summer and match with the kids!
Rock What You've Got!
We are all about body positivity, embracing yourself and rocking your swim just the way you are. It’s 2023. There's no judgement here. Enjoy yourself, have a laugh and take yourself less seriously! But don't say we didn't warn you....once you pop on a pair you won't want to take them off.
Celebrity figures we love, such as Sam Smith and Christian Hull are also jumping onto the budgie smuggler trend this summer and are leading the way within the body positivity movement, showing the world how to truly rock a pair. And with not a single worry in the world! Christian Hull explains how ashamed he once felt in his own skin, but now he's not afraid. Sam Smith’s confidence in his briefs empowered Christian and inspired him. We hope that these two figures, acting as a force for positive change can inspire you too, and prove how ordinary people and every body type can look good in budgies.
Three important rules we think you should take note of if you want to budgie: Embrace your body (no, abs are not a prerequisite) Have no fear, wear them in confidence Don’t compare yourself to others!
