I LOVE these (and I hate shorts)

I haven't worn shorts in many years. I exist in Brooklyn and Retreat Linen pants all summer to avoid chub rub, sweaty sticky thighs, sunscreen, the constant readjusting, and just generally don't like the way shorts look/feel. But lately I've gotten hot, too hot, so I gave these a try and I love th...em! I don't love the way they look, but that's just me. The shorts feel great--the fit is loose without being baggy. I can move however I like without flashing anyone or having to constantly tug them down. They are light and comfortable. I wear a 10P in the Retreat Linen Pant and medium in these shorts is perfect. (I am short, chunky, and I have a big muscular booty and thighs). I got olive (which has a beautiful subtle stripe texture) and I'd happily purchase more in other colors (navy please?).

Nice Short Diminished by Supplu Issues

I loved the Retreat Linen Collection when I saw it. And I love the idea of an ensemble with a top, shorts, and pants! When I saw it in the store, the collection was made of a very nice fabric but no petite sizes were available. However, the short and pants were both back ordered beyond the 30-day re...turn window for the delivered shirt. When I requested an extension to return the shirt until I had received the companion pieces, I was flatly denied. I wound up returning the shirt. I will probably return the shorts and pants too, rather than repurchasing the shirt. I hope Athleta Customer Service will reconsider its strict policies when its own supply issues created the difficulties for its loyal customers.

I'm short and curvy so not very easy to find shorts that look good. These shorts are amazing! Fabric is also very easy to care for doesn't wrinkle as much with air dry compared to other linen fabrics I've tried in the past. #sweepstakes

Comments about Retreat Linen Mid Rise Short

I am not one to choose shorts to wear. But these caught my eye. I tried on the white and they were way too see through. So I tried the black pair and they were perfect. We are headed to Arizona soon and I think they will be perfect. Comfortable. Love the pockets. 5'4", 106# bought XS.
