It's true you can wear just about anything when you do your yoga practice. But the right clothing can actually help your practice by providing comfort and freedom of motion. And it doesn't hurt to be a bit fashionable in, or on the way to, your favorite yoga class. In particular, Womens Yoga Shorts are made especially for yoga. They are designed to allow greater movement without showing off a little too much, as many standard workout or running shorts can. They are an especially good choice if you practice Bikram or hot yoga, because the room is heated to such a high temperature and you'll be sweating a lot! Shorts in yoga class also offer the benefit of allowing your instructor a better view of your hip, knee and ankle alignment, which can be obstructed by longer, looser yoga pants.
All yoga clothing should be very durable, breathe well, wick moisture away and offer great comfort. It should permit great freedom of motion so as not to hinder your practice. Womens Yoga Shorts aim to give good coverage and be snug enough not to "flash." They may be made of cotton blends, with varying amounts of cotton and spandex or some other stretchy material. Some makers of yoga clothing, such as PrAna yoga clothing use organic cotton, hemp, and even bamboo fabric. These are typically looser-fitting, and thus tend to be longer to provide good coverage (though sometimes elastic will be used at the bottom of the legs. Many people find microfiber clothing to be exceptionally comfortable, both because of their texture and because of their exceptional ability to wick perspiration from the skin to the air. Ideally, your short will fit in a way that stay close to the skin while being loose (or stretchy) enough to allow full movement of the body. For example, the Momentum Womens Yoga Shorts is a loose-fitting, 3/4-thigh length short is made from a 4-way stretch cotton-lycra. Pillar Womens Yoga Shorts features an inside bathing suit liner made of coolmax, which provides support and keeps you dry. Shatki Wear makes some shorts that tie on the sides.
