Trending This Summer: Budgie Smugglers

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 and don’t compare yourself to others!

Why You Should Wear Budgie Smuggle

  •  No more tan lines 
  •  Comfortable and secure
  •  Offers a feeling of freedom
  •  No more accidentally forgetting your phone in your trunks!
  • Ease of movement when swimming (no drag in the water)
  • Plenty of chlorine resistant options

Our Favourite Brands 

Thanks to Australian brands like Funky TrunksSpeedoORTCRip Curl & Zoggs budgie smugglers have made a revival with a whole range of cuts, colours, and patterns. There's a smuggler to suit everybody. Whether a professional swimmer, young adult looking to spice up your beach attire or a cool dad, Swimwear Galore have you covered. 

One of our favourite's, Funky Trunks Australia, are known for their bold, bright and daring designs (hence the name). This brand's focus is on crafting chlorine resistant quality swimwear for athletes, although there is no reason why you can’t get them out at the beach. Rock a pair of budgies following the wise words of Funky Trunks themselves, "Defy conformity and have balls.”  

And of course, we can't forget the OG Speedo! If you're not game enough to rock the bright prints just yet, why not ease into it with a more subtle and muted style from Speedo.... P.S. they have just released a new range of fun, summer prints for those that are game!
