"Controversial Swimwear Makes a Comeback, Caution for Beachgoers"

The men's swimming brief, also known as budgie smugglers, is making a comeback in mainstream fashion. Speedo, the original purveyors of the skimpy swimwear, has reported a significant increase in sales and orders across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the US. The resurgence of the swim brief may be attributed to a wider movement towards shorter shorts in men's fashion. Celebrities like Daniel Craig, Tom Daley, and David Beckham have helped raise the cultural cache of the swimwear. Despite its controversial reputation, Speedo argues that the brief is practical, comfortable, and versatile.
