Why you must own a yoga shorts

Having the right yoga clothes is essential. Deceptively simple yoga outfits - there are some pitfalls to avoid. Clothes can affect performance in positive and negative ways. The type of yoga pants you choose will largely depend on the type of yoga you like to practice.

Let's say you're taking a really gentle yoga class, or maybe an outdoor yoga event, with the sun shining in the park or on the beach. You might want to wear a pair of shorts and save the long leggings for the day!

After all, yoga is all about getting in touch with your body and rooting yourself in a calming way—shorts are sometimes the best option for that.

Why choose yoga shorts

On the one hand, you have those baggy, flowy shorts, which tend to be super lightweight and make you feel like you're one with nature. Nothing says "good vibes" like some trendy high waist biking yoga shorts that give you plenty of room to move around.

Yes, the fabric might get in your way in some complex poses, but for the typical yoga geek who won't get dizzy in class, these shorts are great shorts to keep in a drawer. Plus, they look perfect for a simple stroll in the park or a trip to the beach. Very versatile!

On the other hand, skinny shorts seem to be a more practical option when building a sportswear wardrobe. They fit snugly against the skin, don't get in your way, and even offer some compression to give you a performance advantage.

They may not be as fun or flowy to wear, but if your goal is to be at your best in all your workouts (including yoga), tight shorts are the way to go.
