HOW I DESIGNED SHORTS
HOW I DESIGNED 'TRUE MUSCLE FIT' SHORTS
By Harry Simonis, Founder - @Harrysimonis
Summer is around the corner! And all that hard work in the gym means you probably have larger hamstrings and quads but a smaller waist.
Guys, I've been there. I know what itโs like to be one of the few who actually donโt skip leg day and thatโs why I struggled to find clothes that actually fit me. Iโd have to size up to get it over my quads then end up with a really baggy waist that Iโd have to tie around with a belt. It looked awful.
And THAT is why I created TAILORED ATHLETE!

Having started with โTrue Muscle Fitโ Shirts and Jeans, when it came to the warmer months, I knew designing shorts that complemented the athletic physique was a must!
Just like our Premium Stretch Jeans, the brief was simple: a well made, super comfortable, stretchy garment that actually fits and doesnโt feel like itโs going to rip the moment you lift your leg or bend down.
We spent months on the design, selecting the right fabrics, ensuring the right amount of tapering for a โTrue Muscle fitโ!
And this is what we achievedโฆ.
A founding principle of TAโs products is that we aim to solve the problems Athletes usually experience when it comes to buying clothing, and for that reason, there should always be at least 2 reasons to purchase TA over another brand.
THE LENGTH
We always found the length to be one of the main issues with existing shorts; either too short, and therefore restrictive and looking like something from the 1970s, or too long, leaving you looking really short and not showing off your legs at all.
Because of this, I designed our shorts to fit perfectly above the knee, with the perfect inseam length whilst still providing extra room in the seat and thigh!

CRAFTSMANSHIP
Combined with reinforced seams, we purposely designed them in this way to prevent crotch tears. Wear worry free!
STRETCHย
Secondly, it wouldnโt be TA without STRETCH fabrics. There is nothing like having the freedom of motion and mobility to be able to move in your clothing whilst looking amazing and feeling confident! Rest assured, from a family BBQ to a weekend hike, a pair of TA shorts are designed to perform no matter the occasion.
VERSATILITY
Versatility was another consideration, particularly with our 365 Shorts. Our 365 Collection means you can dress up or down, no matter where you are. I recommend pairing them with trainers and a T-shirt for casual summer days or loafers and a Bamboo Short Sleeve Shirt for date night. It's the ultimate smart and casual summer piece.
