Different colors shrink different amounts

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...

Love the pants, sizing is infuriating

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...

I usually wear a Large but these would not go up my thighs. I gave the large away and got an xl, which was a way better fit. Im 5'4 and 210 pounds

Sky is darker in person and returned. Wish pants were lower rise and did not have the ankle slits. Runs a side big, order down. Washes well with fewer wrinkles than other lighter linen pants. These are a bit thick but still comfortable. Don't like the rough tooth zippers on pockets. Prefer the style several years back. 5'6" 123lb fluctuate between XXS and XS

I ordered the undyed in a petite small because I wanted to avoid hemming the pants since the regular inseam is so long. I'm 5'5 130 lbs and usually wear size medium pants, and the petite length is great for a summer pant as it hits at the ankle. I would suggest ordering down a size. The longer length would have dragged. So comfy and cute!

Run loooong!

I love these pants, they are so soft and flowy but run extremely long. I'm 140, 5'5" and ordered the small in the regular length. I'm debating getting them hemmed since it looks like they are now sold out in the petite length but may ultimately return. Too bad, but they would definitely drag under my feet as is.

Fun fit and slimming. Size down

Comments about Retreat Linen High Rise Wide Leg Pant

Love the color, fit and the flow. The high rise made it comfortable with the stretch that's just right. Size down because it's linen. I purchased the green

I love these pants so much that I own them in 3 colors. They are a casual yet elegant and flattering fit. Can be dressed up or down. I always get asked where they are from when I wear them.

I have worn these pants a few times and bought them exactly 2 months ago. I wore them to walk my dog around the neighborhood. Both inner thighs have holes (bigger than a quarter) already. Never buying from Athleta again as their quality has clearly changed from what it used to be.

They seem roomier than previous years but I like them. They are long. I have long legs and rarely are pants too long on me but these are almost too long. I'll hem them if I need to. I'm very had previous years versions for nearly 3 years and they still look great. Size down.

Sad these pants aren't holding up!

I LOVE these pants but within two months of purchasing the seams are already coming undone on inside and outside of waistband. I've only worn them a handful of times. The fit and style are great. Got two other pairs in different colors. Was really hoping they would last, now worried my other pairs wouldn't last either. Very sad.

Flattering but absurdly long

I love these and they fit perfectly except for the fact that they are preposterously long and drag under my heels even in thick soled shoes. Keep in mind I am 5'8" so I'm not exactly petite! But I like them enough that I paid to have them hemmed. I got a large, have fairly thick thighs and wide hips, little bit of belly but a narrower waist and they are very flattering.
