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 ...

Comments about Skyline High Rise Tailored 4"" Short

I bought these shorts because I needed something comfortable but not sloppy looking. They fit well and look great. I am taking a star off because the care instructions online do not match the tag in the shorts. Online it says that they can be machine dried. The tag says line dry. I am someone who runs every morning and walks every evening (in Florida heat). I generate a lot of laundry and just don't have the time, mental energy or flat spaces to line dry pieces. I also question the quality of items that can't survive the dryer on low heat.

Great material and length! They are a little wide around my thighs but after washing they soften and fit great!

Finally found the perfect fitting shorts🙌

The fit is spot on — not too tight, not too loose, and they hit at just the right length. Super flattering and comfortable enough to wear all day!

If only it was made as described, they would be so cute! Returned due to inaccuracy. Not worth trying a larger size.

Comments about Skyline High Rise Tailored 4"" Short

These may be my favorite shorts of the summer. They feel great, length is good, and you can pair them with a button down or a t-shirt -very versatile! I bought 2 colors and can't wait to wear them. I'm 5'3", 117lbs and usually wear a petite small or 0 in Athleta bottoms. Size 2 in these shorts is perfect for me. I may "need" them in the barrel pant too!
