VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) are used to logically segment a LAN into smaller broadcast domains. A VLAN is a layer 2 (data link layer) broadcast domain that is created by switches. It is basically a way of organizing a large number of computers into smaller logical networks.
Subnets are a layer 3 (network layer) broadcast domain. They are used to divide a network into smaller segments or subnets. Subnetting breaks down a network into subnetworks, or subnets, each of which is an IP network with its own unique address. Subnetting allows for more efficient use of a single IP address range.
