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.

These shorts are a nice fabric and beautiful, crisp white. I can't wait for the Northeast to warm up!

They are comfortable and keep me cool during warmer days, I'm also able to dress them up or dress more casual depending on day plans.

They have good details, like zippers on the pockets so they don't flare open and have a sleeker profile. Nice seams to give them a bit of polish, and the linen should be good in the heat.

I am obsessed with these shorts. I have Pine, but will be getting at least black and white also. Perfect fit, sturdy, thick, stylish, love the pocket zips. Just everything about them is amazing.

I love these shorts! I have several of the pant version of these, and when I saw there were shorts, too, I immediately hopped on buying them. I love the zipper pockets - they're subtle and functional. It's especially nice for travel - I can curl up and not worry about my headphones or wallet falling out of my pockets.

These are great shorts. I've washed them (hung to dry) and need to steam out some of the wrinkles to see how the overall wear looks. I purchased them in Breaker and Pine. I have black and grey from last season. I do think some of the lighter colors would be a little more see-through. #sweepstakes

I have been trying to find linen shorts that fit and look good without breaking the bank and these are perfect. Material is soft and the inseam is perfect. The mid rise waist is great for a short torso, I not a fan of high rise waists.
