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...

Great fit, but …

The fit on these is fantastic—heavy enough to drape just right, and light enough to wear in hot temps. Felt great when I wore them in Europe … until I took them off and realized how badly they'd pilled after one day. Black pair is noticeable but wearable. Brown pair pilled so badly, I'm sure to have a hole in them if I wear them again. I know linen is a fragile fabric, but I expect something at this price point to be better than single use.

I loved the pants; Unfortunately, I did not see the line that said they run small. I will need to return and order a larger size.

Cute, run large

These pants are comfortable and cute for warm days. They do run quite large. I'm 5'7, 140 lbs and typically wear a 6. I ordered these in a small and had to size down to an XS, which I never wear. They also stretch out some with wear. The length is good. Can't speak to how well they'll hold up as they're relatively new and I haven't washed them. H

I love these pants!!!! They are so comfy and breathable for the summer time. They fit me perfectly, makes my waist look small and my butt look great, but loose and flowy along the legs. I would maybe have done a Medium for a flowier look, but I don't like too much extra fabric.

Undyed color fits my hips, but not brown?

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.

NOT WORTH THE PRICE

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

Color SKY is BLUE not Mint as shown

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.

The color is so pretty, really wanted to make it work! Crotch too long, length too long.. tried the petite but too short, and tried XS but too small in the waist! Really pretty color, sizing is just off

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!
