Size up

It is definitely smaller than the normal sizing. I tried sizing up two sizes as some people have adjusted, but then you lose the shape of the shorts. They were Just snug at the waist, but not pinching, after one wash and first wear it loosened up. You can tell the fabric is giving to trust the proce...

Size up 2 sizes? No thank you.

Ok, so everything I buy at Athleta is a size 12. Everything always fits to a tee. Imagine my horror when I pulled these out of their package, and COULD NOT EVEN GET THEM ZIPPED UP. I was horrified. Double checked the size to make sure they were a size 12. They were. Got so freaked out that I pulled ...

on my desktop it looks mint green, but on my phone it looks like light/sky blue. Seriously what does "current" even mean? Does anyone know the answer?

Perfect pair of shorts!

Always love anything Athleta! The shorts are cute but not a flattering fit on my body. The leg openings are too big in my opinion.

The shorts you didn't know you needed!

Comments about Skyline High Rise Tailored 4"" Short

Beyond impressed! The length, the fit, the comfort- 10/10! I wasn't looking for them in store so when I saw them I was delighted and surprised. I bought in the green and the white to wear in warmer months with cute blouses! I do think they run a bit on the smaller side. I'm a true 0/25 in most brands and I sized up to a 2. The stretch in the shorts are almost compression so sizing up gives me a bit more room.

These shorts fit like a glove!

These shorts are so comfortable and fit so well! They're the perfect fabric that can lean more or less casual depending on your outfit. I bought them in 2 colors immediately!

Really comfortable, good choice for no waist gap

Comments about Skyline High Rise Tailored 4"" Short

These are so comfortable. I did a ton of walking, some dancing and never had to worry that I was flashing anyone. They didn't have a waist gap even though I decided to get the larger of the 2 sizes I tried. The others fit but I wanted a little more room because we planned to go hiking. Usually I can't size up without a big gap.

The fit was nice but it is made of thin material that is see through. Crazy to pay that much for something that is see through.

Comments about Skyline High Rise Tailored 4"" Short

I am not even joking, I came in the store just to browse and I ended up buying these in every single color they had in stock. They are the MOST FLATTERING shorts I have encountered in 3-5 years at least. They also fit unbelievably comfortably. Knowing it's Athleta, it's not surprising that the material is a lightweight, stretchy fabric that feels great. But to the average person who sees you and doesn't know it's Athleta, the fabric doesn't look athletic at all. It looks more like a cotton-canvas blend. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it before. I recommend going up one size from your normal if you have much of a booty—it's definitely not necessary, but I tried on both sizes and liked the slightly larger one better for the shorts. My normal size worked perfectly for the pants version of these, which I also bought in almost every single color. I can also confirm that these do not shrink OR wrinkle—at least not meaningfully—on cold water in the wash and low/medium heat in the dryer.
