Yoga shorts are taking center stage at fashion weeks all over the world! These figure-hugging bottoms featured heavily on spring/summer 2018 catwalks have become rather popular in clothing trends lately because of few reasons. They are comfortable, classy, and chic.

Wearing yoga pants in the summer is not the smartest solution. They can make you sweat where you don’t want to. That’s why yoga shorts work well for exercise as a comfortable garment which is flexible enough to be worn during your yoga class.

Yoga Pants vs. Yoga Shorts

Choosing the right clothing when practicing yoga can make a world of difference in the quality of your exercise. One question that we commonly come across is whether to wear yoga shorts or leggings.

Lightweight yoga pants are suitable for more fluid, relaxed type of yoga such as Hatha or Kundalini, while more fitted yoga pants work best for Vinyasa or Ashtanga yoga. Yoga shorts, on the other hand, are an ideal choice for those who practice hot yoga, Bikram, or simply want to avoid feeling over-heated during the summer season.

What to Look for in Yoga Shorts

Fit

Never compromise on fit. Make sure you always have the most comfortable printed yoga shorts whether you are working out or styling them as a trendy staple. Opt for looser and comfy fit, but tight enough to give you the support and hold everything together.

Climate

While practicing yoga in the mountains or places covered with snow may require wearing longer leggings, living in a sunny town will allow you to rock the yoga shorts trend without a doubt.

Multi-Purposing
