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 love the fit and length of these shorts. They are just a bit baggy and work perfectly for me. I have a few colors and would like to get more.

I usually stay away from linen in the past because it wrinkles! The shorts are a beautiful lime green and don't show the wrinkles! The 4 inch shirt is perfect for me !

I loved my pair of the Retreat Linen High Rise Wide Leg Pants, so I decided to give these a try and I LOVE them just as much as the pants. They fit perfectly - for reference, the pants I have are a Petite Large - so I ordered these in large (I'm 5'3" and 165 pounds) - the ONLY thing I wish is that they were a tad longer, but that's really only a problem when I sit down. Also, I need to point out one of my favorite features - pockets with ZIPPERS!

These shorts are very comfortable yet feel dressier than a regular short. I like them so much I'm thinking about getting them in another color.

This is my second pair. I bought them in black first and liked them so much I got the undyed color too. These shorts are comfortable. I like the material and the length. I like that the linen fabric can make them seem more dressy, but they are still comfortable and casual too.

Linen shorts…dress up a bit with summer sandals & linen shirt for vacation time! Love the zipper pockets for tucking in some pocket money. The linen holds up after all day wear😎
