Sky Color Not As it Appears on Site

Love the fit and quality of the shorts, does run a touch big, but I don't like tight shorts so not a problem for me. I ordered my normal size small. My issue with them (removing one star) is the color. I purchased several sky colored tops to try and create a monochrome set. The color shown in the pi...

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...

I picked these when I made the puchase online and received a totally different color. I'll definitely exchange them in the store. Dissapointment.

These shorts are made of very comfortable material. However, I don't have a thigh gap and because of that, these shorts ride up quite a bit while walking. I like these shorts for lounge days, but if you're doing something more active, I would opt for a different pairs.

I'm between size XS and SM but went with the small so it was less snug in my thighs (a little loose in the waist because of that!) but these are super comfy

Love these in every way. Flattering and just the right length. I purchased the dark brown to add a different color to my wardrobe.

Sky color nothing like photo

The sky color should be a pretty mint green and the color in person is an ugly faded blue. Looks nothing like the photos online or the rest of the sky color line.

These shorts are great! I like the length and the zipper pockets. They wrinkle quickly, but that's just how linen is and I choose to embrace the wrinkles. The waistband is wide and stretchy so you have control over how tight they are. I have wide hips and thick thighs and the XL was still plenty roomy for me. Would definitely buy more.

I own these in two colors because I love them so much! Lightweight, good quality material, perfect for a hot summer day. I especially love the sky color for summer. It's very beachy and fun.
