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 love the style and cut of these shorts. They fabric is airy and breathable, but you can dress it up or down. I usually wear a 4 and even the 6 didn't fit me. I had to go up to an 8.

Too short

I really liked the style of the shorts, the fabric and how they fit on my hips, but they were not 4 inch as advertised. Too short and I had to return.

very comfortable

The yellow is beautiful and the white works with everything. They run SMALL!! I wear a medium in Athleta pants and 8 in most pants. I had to get a 12 in these. But I love the way they fit and they look polished.

Size up!!

Loved the material of these and length. I did feel the white was see through but it was still wearable. However these run really small, I usually wear a 6 and even the 8 was too tight, needed a 10 to be comfortable.

Great fit!

Comments about Skyline High Rise Tailored 4"" Short

This short didn't work for me. The material is nice but there wasn't much give in the high waist. Unfortunately I could tell it was going to hurt my back like other high waisted shorts I have that don't stretch much. It causes a kink in my lower-mid back. The leg openings were also a little wide for me. Bummer because they have a lot of nice colors.

Love these shorts, such a great quality stretch fabric and good short length. They are designed well enough to be dressed up a bit but comfortable enough for everyday wear.

Love it!
