Jodhpurs are commonly mistaken for riding breeches, although they are not the same. Jodhpurs are specifically made for the sport of polo. In addition, breeches are usually shorter than jodhpurs, as riding breeches are normally worn together with tall boots, and jodhpurs are not. Jodhpurs are most commonly worn in more informal environments; whereas breeches are considered a more formal style of pants.
