Best fitting, flattering versatile shorts

Best. shorts I bought in 20 years. I hate my thighs. I can't stand high rise shorts. I avoid side pockets because they add visual heft. I don't buy shorts because they always leave me feeling self conscious and uncomfortable. But these shorts are perfect everywhere, top to bottom. Incredible fit, fe...

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 ...

Love the high waist, belt loops, pockets, and fabric. The flared out leg openings didn't really work for my body shape but otherwise it's a nice and well made short. I sized up one size #sweepstakes

Cute- but not flattering on me

Super cute- fabric is more stiff and doesn't flatter my shape.

Thick Thigh Approved!

Great comfort and length! Usually I dont wear shorts due to the size of my butt and thighs but these fit great! Got the black and gray.

These shorts have so much potential! If the waist wasn't so high and snug for the hips, and they were actually 4" instead of 3" long, they would be the perfect summer short. I really wanted to love and keep them, but after trying 2 sizes, the fit just didn't work for me. I'm usually a size 6 in Athleta shorts, but the 6 was very tight all-around, and then the 8 was still snug I the waist, but then too much fabric at the leg openings. Hope they can fix the fit issue, though is seems some people really like them.

Nice short

Comments about Skyline High Rise Tailored 4"" Short

I wish the leg holes were a little smaller as they flare out in the back a bit since the material is a bit stiff. But otherwise, very comfy.

Great shorts - size up!

The material is of good quality and the style is flattering but I definitely had to size up one size. I would buy these shorts in more colors.

Great version of the pants

Comments about Skyline High Rise Tailored 4"" Short

I bought these after really liking the pant version and they are super similar. I like the details and listened to the other reviewers that recommended buying a size up (thanks!). I appreciate that they aren't suctioned to my thighs, as I have a more curvy build, so now the test will be on if they rise up too much while walking!

This style of shorts is my favorite. The tailored cut makes them feel polished. I love wearing these because I look more put together. I ended up buying all of the colors available. Dress up a bit with button up or down with tee shirt.
