strutters

Those who swagger

Strutters are people who strut—who walk with an exaggerated, self-important gait meant to display confidence or superiority.

The term often carries a mocking edge, suggesting the swagger is unearned or excessive: The strutters in their designer clothes acted like they owned the place.
