Sumary of Budgie smugglers are back – and more brief than ever:
- When I was growing up in the 1980s and ’90s, such revealing swimwear was social death unless you were training for the 1500 metres freestyle.
- But fashion-forward men’s swimwear has become shorter and tighter than ever.
- Short shorts, like these swim briefs by Commas, are having a moment.
- Loading “Swimwear cuts are definitely changing, and guys are keen to show off more thigh … But it’s not in a seedy way,” says Richard Jarman, founder and creative director of Sydney swimwear label Commas.
- The four-year-old brand is gaining plenty of buzz on the global stage, showing at this year’s Milan Fashion Week Digital alongside Gucci, Prada and Fendi.
