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.

Washed and dried (per the tag instructions) my new black pair, and they faded. Disappointing to say the least. The black is my second pair, also have the natural color. They are comfortable and fit well. I guess black just doesn't wash well.

Wearing linen is the ultimate "feel good" experience. These high waisted pants are elegant, stylish and comfortable. The deep zippered pockets are the cherry on top.

I usually stay away from baggy pants to avoid the dreaded diaper butt. That being said, they aren't too bad for baggy pants. The fabric is lovely. I got black and hopefully they'll wear and clean well. I personally wish there wasn't zippers on the pockets. I don't feel they're needed. They are loose and if you're in between sizes for lathers pants, you may be able to size down. For me, I'm keeping them the size I normally get in this brand.

athleta.gapcanada.caThese pants are wide leg, but look great on a petite frame. I am 5'1 and the xxs fits perfectly. That being said, I do normally wear an xs, so they do run a tad big. The leg just touches the floor. Very comfortable. Pink is a bit see through so keep that in mind. Others have said petite was way too long, but I didn't have this issue. Would have given 5 stars, but took one away as I am not necessarily a fan of the side slits on the leg, but I would still recommend in spite of this.

I know Athleta is for active wear, but why the slit at the ankle. It ruins an otherwise perfect pair of pants

One of my favorite linen pants! I love the length (Tall) option and they have zipper pockets so they make a great travel and every day running errands pant. They can be dressed up or down. I have them in 4 colors. Some colors seem to have thinner fabric and the lighter shades can be a little see through. Buy the pants and strut your stuff it's almost summer!

I was hoping to love these pants. The color is nice, and the fabric is good quality. I also like the zippered pockets. I bought a small petite, which is my usual size. They look ridiculous on. Nothing like in the photo on the model. The bottom of the pant leg has big flaps of fabric which lays in an awkward way. Maybe if you are tall and thin, but not for petites. Sending back.

I am 5'7", 129lbs and I bought a size small. These pants are so enormous it's hilarious. I missed the 30 day window to return them so I guess they are mine. I will try washing and drying them like I saw in the comments.
