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 ...

I bought these in 2 colors when they first came out, but had to exchange for 1 size up. Great cut and very comfy fabric! I will say I have lost 15 pounds and have dropped a size and somehow they still fit. They definitely run a tad small, but they are quite stretchy. So you might be able to get away with your normal size if you don't mind the squeezy feeling.

Way too short. :(

I bought the skyline pants and absolutely loved them, so I thought these would be a slam dunk. They are just sooo short that you could see my underwear if I bent even slightly. They were also way tighter than my pants that were the same size. Sad because they are super attractive otherwise! I think they need to be in a 7" inseam and that would be perfect!

Too short

These are so cute and comfy but they are not a 4 inch inseam they are 3 inches and I feel like my booty is hanging out in these and when I sit down they feel like I have my underwear on. If these were a 5 inch inseam they would be perfect. I feel like the fit was tts.

So flattering and comfortable that I purchased 2 in black! I'm a true size 2/26 with a small waist and size 2 fit me perfectly. I love the little stretch in the material also. Highly recommend!

Comments about Skyline High Rise Tailored 4"" Short

The Skyline High Rise Tailored Short is very comfortable. The material has a nice stretch to it. The construction is great. The pockets are functional and the high waist fits snugly without being too tight. I also like that the shorts have belt loops and look great with a shirt tucked in or out. I ordered in Black and also in White. As far as sizing goes, I would say it is standard Athleta sizing, which runs a bit generous compared to other brands I typically wear.

Great shorts!

Nice shorts. You can dress them up or down. I've worn them on very hot, humid days and they keep me cool and don't wrinkle when I move. They don't ride up either. I have them in black and green. I'm 5'3 and 128 lbs. and I wear a size 6 (which is my standard size). These will be a summer staple for me.
