Yoga Wears: a closer look at the Yogabela Porto Short

Part 2 of my journey through the Yogabela clothing catalogue!
Another Yogabela style I recently test drove was the Porto Short.

Here are some basic product deets about this particular women’s shorts style:

  • made of lightweight, supplex (very similar to bathing suit material)
  • comes in 3 sizes, 15 colors
  • doesn’t have an elasticized waist, just a tie-waist
  • 3.5″ inseam


I’ve worn this short a few times and here are my thoughts:

  • über comfy! Because the material is similar to swimsuit material, it feels like you have NOTHING on.  The shorts are weightless and light!
  • EASY to wash! The supplex material makes it very easy to wash — the suds wash out extremely well.  They also dry very quickly! (think bathing suit)

  • I miss an elasticized waistband. I have a love/hate with elastics and shorts.  On one hand, I hate them because too-tight elastic waistbands can create that oh-so-lovely muffin top effect.  ICK.  But on the other hand, because the Porto Shorts DON’T have elastic, I find I have to very securely tie the waist to ensure a snug fit.
  • Shorts for short people. Let’s face it, I’m not a tall gal (5’3″).  My legs are also pretty short in proportion to my torso.  This means that a 3.5″ inseam is a little on the longer side than what I’m used to practicing in.  HOWEVER: for people who like a little extra coverage, these are great!
