I LOVE these (and I hate shorts)

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?).

Nice Short Diminished by Supplu Issues

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.

Great material not super thin like some can be. Very well made. I really like them and can tell they'll last.

Great fit, loose and comfortable, for the hot , humid summer days. Short enough for walking, yet long enough to cover my backside. Linen has come a long way!

Comments about Retreat Linen Mid Rise Short

Like these shorts! I was worried they wouldn't fit because not alot of stretch in linen but they fit great with some room. Im usually a 14 on my lower half so the large fits great!

This is my second pair and I'm replacing a linen set of shorts I got from another store that the hem came apart after the first wash. These are comfortable and stylish

I LOVE the shorts But....

I love these shorts. The fabric, length, and fit are perfect, but there is one flaw that is unfortunate. Since these shorts include a metal aglet, it might increase the chances of it falling off. I'm hoping it's a one-off thing, but I've only worn and washed these shorts twice (I did wash them as directed), and the metal aglet fell off. I have reached out to customer service to determine if this is a recurring defect; however, since the colorway and size I purchased are currently out of stock, I do not feel comfortable sending the shorts back.

These shorts are adorable and comfortable, and have zipper pockets! They do run a little small and are unforgiving. Have not washed them yet. #sweepstakes
