Boys Lie, a fashion brand "founded by two best friends from the ashes of their breakups," released a surprise drop earlier in June to pay homage to the LGBTQ+ community. In celebration of Pride Month, Boys Lie debuted the Smitten Set . This cozy, loungewear drop featured a bold and romantic graphic that makes a strong statement, both in terms of fashion and the social context. Through this surprise release, the fashion company showcases its commitment to promoting social and self-acceptance within the LGBTQ+ community. As part of this drop, Boys Lie pledged to donate 20% of the proceeds from the Smitten Set throughout June to The Trevor Project, a well-known, non-profit organization dedicated to preventing suicide among LGBTQ+ youth.
