I needed some basic lounge shorts for summer, and these fit the bill. I don’t know what makes them "yoga” shorts, specifically. They’re just lightweight knit drawstring shorts with pockets. I am a size 18 (apple shape) and the XXL are a little snug in the waist. I can wear them, but I would have preferred the next larger size, I think. The wash instructions say to hang dry, but I can’t see why this fabric wouldn’t be fine in the dryer. Maybe they will probably hold up longer if they don’t go in See full review
