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...

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 am 55 yrs old and I prefer a relaxed fit in the waist and a slim fit in the hips. I am between a small and a medium and the small size fits perfectly and comfortably. Sometimes a medium fit looks frumpy in the hips area. I love the cut at Athleta and bought the white and natural color! Can't wait to wear them this Summer!

Lovely shorts-RUN BIG- and white linen short fits well but is on return as they are very sheer- your legs show through. They should have a lining!!!!

PLEASE bring back the extended sizes!!!

I love these shorts. I have them in a 1X and they're perfect. I haven't seen this size available so far this year. I want to buy more! Very disappointing if they are not being offered.

Fabric is Fabulous!

These are the nicest shorts ever as far as the fabric! They are really well made and soft and not too thin. The only thing I would change is the fit because the inseam is way too long. They fit my hips great and my waist but I will be folding them over. I'm going to see how the size large fit. I bought XL because I can never find shorts that are big enough for my legs if they fit my waist.

Love these shorts!!

Love the lightweight fabric, comfy fit and perfect length. Can easily dress up or down. Great for the beach or bbq/picnic. Bought cream and black colors.

These did not come

I ordered these shorts online along with 3 other items. Athleta only sent one item in my order, which was not these shorts. When I tried to contact them about this they were unable to process my merchandise claim. They use another company to handle their merchandise claims. I will not be using online ordering again from Athleta. This is sad because I live far away from the actual store.

White is see through!!

I wanted to love these shorts but the white was so think you could see skin through them. Otherwise they fit nicely but I had to return them.

Way too wide

I wanted to love these shorts, but the fit of was way too wide they were not flattering at all on me. They made me look much bigger than I am, had to return.

Comments about Retreat Linen Mid Rise 4"" Short

Wish they made these in either petite or shorter inseams. I bought the green in small, which fit my waist and hips well but a bit long on my short legs - I'm 5'0". Ill wear them folded up as the color is lovely and the shorts are comfortable.

She loves the color.
