Tapered Shorts: Zuva Edition 2024

Tapered shorts have been with us since the very beginning which has embodied the energy of contemporary design for the Zuva brand. Inspired by a form-fitting look and feel, the tapered creation is a way of styling both activewear and athleisure. 

What makes them so unique? 

With a focus on fitment, the unique element of the shorts comes primarily from the aesthetic of how the shape around your quads, enhancing your overall aesthetic - meaning they accentuate how your body looks. 

Why are they popular

Nearly five years since we released the original design of the shorts back in 2018 under a different name (iLIFT). From this era we have continued to sell the men’s tapered shorts to a wide audience, whom to this day are still continuing to re-order pairs. 

So what really makes them popular? Well, it’s a combination of being the only design that holds a particular style and shape to being the only pair of shorts you cannot buy in traditional retail stores. 

Here’s a few reviews to let you in on what some customers think of them:
