    Great casual shorts

    Love these shorts for a casual but polished look! Like others have mentioned, they do run small. I am a pretty solid 12 or Large, sometimes even Medium, in Athleta bottoms, and a 14 fit perfectly in these. I have fairly muscular thighs that make a lot of shorts that fit me in the waist fit too ti...ght through the thigh, but with a wider leg opening these are just right.

    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 ...out last year's Brooklyn shorts to make sure I didn't unknowingly gain 10 lbs. They still fit perfectly. So thank God for that. But here's the thing…Athleta, why would you even make a pair of shorts so "off" in the sizing when you really seemed to have the whole thing down to a science? Trying to keep us on our toes? No thanks. These were promptly returned. Interesting factoid, the woman who did my return in store totally validated my experience. She had to go up 2 sizes to get a proper fit. I know people say that the size doesn't matter, it's all about the fit … but show me a woman who is willing to size up that much. The mental head game just isn't worth it.

    These shorts are super cute, flattering with great fabric. A definite must have. For me, these were TTS, I got them in a size 4 (I wear a size 4, sometimes 2 with all my Athleta bottoms). For reference, I'm 5' 2" 119lbs, athletic. They fit me very comfortably at the waist with even a little gap. I didn't find them to be too small at all.

    Comments about Skyline High Rise Tailored 4"" Short

    I will be living in these shorts all summer! The cut is perfect for my body. If you have a narrow waist but generous hips and booty, these shorts are for you. I love that the shorts flare out at the hem giving them a A-line silhouette that accommodates muscular thighs. The higher rise makes them perfect with slightly cropped tops. And while they have a clean, tailored look, the fabric has enough give to make them super comfy. As other reviewers have noted, the fit runs a bit small. I'm between a small and a medium these days. I opted for a size 8. I have noticed that, although the inseam is a fairly modest 4", the a-line cut (and my ample bottom) make the shorts seem a little shorter in back.

    Comments about Skyline High Rise Tailored 4"" Short

    Beautiful short, but runs small. I bought my normal size 8 and it was tight in the waist. Have never had that problem at Athleta. My teen daughter who is tiny could have worn that size and have it be a little loose and she's normally a size 2 or 4.

    Comments about Skyline High Rise Tailored 4"" Short

    I gave these shorts a try after reading the reviews about fit issues that indicated the waist was on the small side and legs were on the large size, and I was delighted to find that these proportions perfectly suit my curvier frame! If you struggle with snug legs or waist gaps on shorts, these might be for you, too! The fabric is stretchy, but the cut still looks polished. Love them!

    Run a size larger than typical size but that didn't stop me from buying every color! I LOVE these so much. Can dress up on down and are so comfy. Washed and dried perfectly. Cannot say how much I like these. Hoping another color drops!
