When building your activewear wardrobe, choosing the right shorts can make all the difference in your performance and comfort. But what exactly sets <a href="https://thehalara.com/collections/shorts-1" target="_self">running shorts</a> apart from <a href="https://thehalara.com/products/super-high-waisted-back-pocket-2-in-1-side-pocket-yoga-shorts-longer-length" target="_self">yoga shorts</a>? At Halara, we specialize in performance activewear designed for every movement, and we’re here to break down the key differences—plus help you find your perfect pair from our bestselling Summer Shorts Collection.
 
 
<h2>Fabric &amp; Breathability: Designed for Different Sweat Levels</h2>
<h3>Running Shorts:</h3>
Ultra-lightweight &amp; moisture-wicking – Keeps you dry during high-intensity movement Mesh panels or ventilation – Maximizes airflow for heat regulation, keeping your cool 
<h3>Yoga Shorts:</h3>
Buttery-soft &amp; stretchy – Allows full range of motion for yoga poses Sweat-absorbent yet breathable – Prevents clinging during slow flows 
<h2>Length &amp; Fit: Movement vs. Modesty</h2>
<h3>Running Shorts:</h3>
2.5–5" inseams – Shorter for unrestricted leg movement Loose or lined compression fit – Reduces friction during strides 
<h3>Yoga Shorts:</h3>
4–7" inseams – Longer for coverage in inversions&nbsp;
Snug but not compressive – Stays put during bends and stretches 
<h2>Waistband &amp; Features: Function-Specific Designs</h2>
<h3>Running Shorts:</h3>
Elastic + drawstring – Secure fit during impact Side pockets – For keys/gels (some with zippers) 
<h3>Yoga Shorts:</h3>
Wide, seamless waistbands – Reduces pressure on the abdomen Minimalist design – Lay-flat flat ideal for mat work
