I haven't worn shorts in many years. I exist in Brooklyn and Retreat Linen pants all summer to avoid chub rub, sweaty sticky thighs, sunscreen, the constant readjusting, and just generally don't like the way shorts look/feel. But lately I've gotten hot, too hot, so I gave these a try and I love th...em! I don't love the way they look, but that's just me. The shorts feel great--the fit is loose without being baggy. I can move however I like without flashing anyone or having to constantly tug them down. They are light and comfortable. I wear a 10P in the Retreat Linen Pant and medium in these shorts is perfect. (I am short, chunky, and I have a big muscular booty and thighs). I got olive (which has a beautiful subtle stripe texture) and I'd happily purchase more in other colors (navy please?).
I loved the Retreat Linen Collection when I saw it. And I love the idea of an ensemble with a top, shorts, and pants! When I saw it in the store, the collection was made of a very nice fabric but no petite sizes were available. However, the short and pants were both back ordered beyond the 30-day re...turn window for the delivered shirt. When I requested an extension to return the shirt until I had received the companion pieces, I was flatly denied. I wound up returning the shirt. I will probably return the shorts and pants too, rather than repurchasing the shirt. I hope Athleta Customer Service will reconsider its strict policies when its own supply issues created the difficulties for its loyal customers.

I bought this for a trip to the east coast knowing I would be walking around quite a lot. They were lightweight and flattering. Went well with the linen muscle shirt I purchased as well.

This is the second pair I have purchased. Love the relaxed fit and the coolness of this short. The multipole pockets - 2 zippered, are perfect when you don't want to carry a purse. I bought a size S for my 135 lb 5'4" frame

I have these in the pink and black, which fit great. Length is good for an older person (I'm 53 and fit but don't want booty shorts.) I tried the same size in the other colors and they didn't fit AT ALL. Too bad, because I would have bought more!

I love the fit and feel of these. I bought them in XS and they are a perfect fit (5'5", 115). I haven't washed them yet, and hope they don't wrinkle too much or lose their shape.
