I bought these last year in 2 colors (black and raphanus pink) in a size M. I've lost weight so bought new pairs this year. I ordered the black, undyed, pink sand and cerise all in Small Regular and Small Tall (I have long legs for my height). The Regular length was just barely long enough and si...nce I knew they might shrink some I kept the black, undyed and pink sand in the Small tall and washed and dried them. I didn't notice any real shrinkage in the waist, or the volume of the butt or the legs. But I did notice shrinkage in the length on all of them. The black barely shrunk and the undyed shrunk a lot. In fact the undyed shrunk enough that they were only ever so slightly longer than the unwashed/undried Small regulars. The pink sand shrunk somewhere between the black and the undyed. Otherwise I found these comparable to the 2 pairs I got last year. The pink sand worked best with nude undies. The undyed seemed a bit less see-through (my denim blue undies were only slightly noticeable) and the black were obviously fine. I'm not a fan of the split opening in the legs at the bottom. Last year I had my dry cleaner add some clear plastic snaps so that I could keep the split closed or opened depending upon what I wanted at the moment. I never kept the split open so this year I am having the dry cleaner just completely sew up the split. As many before me have noted, Athlete pants seem so run big. I'm 5'7" and 140 lbs. I was 165-170 lbs last year when I bought the mediums, which fit great at the time. But given the weight loss I knew I had to size down to a small this year.
I love these pants. They wash and wear well. They don't shrink with washing and don't stretch out during the day with wear but the inconsistency in sizing was mind boggling!!! I tried on a pair of XS in the stores and they fit great. Decided not to buy that day and bought them online at the next sal...e. The XS pants that were delivered to my house were not even close to the ones I tried on in store -huge, baggy, wayyyyy too long. I returned that pair in store and tried on a different pair of XS (in a different color than the first pair I tried on in store originally). They fit perfectly, exactly how I remembered the first pair fitting. They didn't have the color I wanted in stores that day, so placed an online order. Again the XS smalls delivered to my house were huge! Not at all like the pair I tried on in the stores (twice!). Long story short, it took trying seven pair of pants in the same size to find 2 pair in different colors that actually fit. In the end, I love the pants.

The undyed color fits me well, especially because zippered pockets mean they don't gap open and create an unflattering silhouette. I tried on three of the brown in the same size but somehow they are all just too small and create stretch whiskers across the crotch. ??? Excited to wear these! For reference, 5'5" 146lb, curvy, purchased a size 6.

The quality of these are terrible. All I did was wash them and wear them once -- already pilling, threads are coming loose, the fabric is snagging! The fabric is also on the thinner side and kinda paper-y. I'm 5' 2" and the petite length is also still too long. Love the actual style and fit, but for the price, the quality is just not there.m

I've been wearing the Retreat Linen High Rise Wide Leg Pant for a number of years. They hold up well, run true to size and can be worn for a variety of events. I loved the mint hue/color depicted on my laptop and iPhone and purchased them. Unfortunately, it looks NOTHING like the images shown on Athleta's webiste. It's a muted blue with white. And the drawstring tie is bright white so the contrast stands out loudly. Not a good look. Looking back, other reviewers have commented the same sentiments. Wished I had paid attention. I'll return at the store and choose something else in person.

I'm really a size XL but on petite they only had L. I gave it a try and surprisingly it fit very well and comfortable. I bought the blue with lines and they are amazing!

These are great quality pants. Stylish cut. I bought my normal size medium which I am also a medium according to Athleta's size chart. The pants fit great when I first out them on. After wearing a few hours they stretched out a lot and were much more like a large. I wish I had bought the small, but I don't know about how much linen stretches out.

I live these pants and have them in black and brown. Fit perfect but the white is so so sheer you can see everything. Sadly have to return.

Tried one pair on in one color and were too big, tried another color and were too tight. Need to change to mid rise not high rise.

I wanted to love these pants but the sizing is off. The size S was too loose and the XS was a little too tight. I'm not sure why the sizing has been off lately. The material is nice, but the waist band is a little thick. The pants are see through as well

I'm so bummed about these pants because they are the best silhouette, the most flattering, actually long enough on my tall frame, feel great in the summer...but the thighs started pilling badly on the first wear and completely busted open (I'm talking 4 inch holes) within a few weeks of normal wear and delicate washing/air drying. I'm tempted to repurchase because they're otherwise the perfect pant, and I did get a refund for the ones that ripped, but I have another pair of these that has the same pilling issue, so I think it will just happen again. Athleta, please improve the fabric and I will buy these for the rest of my life! Fit-wise, I am hourglass-shaped so I normally need to buy from curvy lines so pants will fit both my waist and hips, but these actually worked perfectly for me without having to size up for more hip room. The linen relaxes for a more breezy fit, but not in a sloppy way.
