I have 3 pairs of these shorts and I just love them. They are comfortable and fit well. I'm going to order more

After one wear, these shirts started to peel. It's a bit ridiculous for the price I paid for them.

I don't mind the winkles the more you wash and wear them the better. I hang to dry and sometimes will fluff in the dryer. I have them in 3 colors. I bought the large even though they are a little big I just tie them tighter. It's hot in Arizona and these are perfect. I'm an active 69 year old and I feel good in these longer shorts

The lighter colors are see through. It makes these super cute, well fitting shorts almost unwearable in public. As I bought them on line and on sale I can't return or exchange, so I feel like my money's gone in the trash. I buy on line from Athleta because I have previously trusted the quality and fit. Alas.

Loved the fit, loved the feel, and loved loved loved the zippered pockets. They are crazy see through though and are a difficult wear in the lighter colors. A lining or double fabric layer would make them an easy grab from the closet

Comments about Retreat Linen Mid Rise 4"" Short

The only linen I wear.

These are definitely high rise, not mid rise, which is an immediate "return" for me. But in addition, these got wrinkled front and back just trying them on. The white is see-through. The black and tan colors are not see-through. In addition, for fit - I prefer a pair of shorts that doesn't make me look like a zoo keeper. There's just something about the wider leg and the way the pockets are placed that put these in the same category as "mom jeans" and less like "carefree summer." Also, I know it's linen, but if I wore these all day like I intended, I'd hate all the wrinkles. I returned all the colors.

I ordered an extra small in white and undyed. The white shorts fit true to size, but the undyed ones were tight. You can see the difference from the photo.

I have black and yellow/lime green. I've worn them on the hottest days and no sweat has shown. This is great. I usually avoid colors in the summer for that reason. Super comfy. You've gotta seam rip the back pockets but the front ones with the zippers are awesome. #sweepstakes

So I love these shorts and have gotten them over the years. So when I got these I wrote my review before wearing them and now that I put them on I'm updating my review. I do still love them but these do run large and seem longer. I was disappointed initially because the Sky color does not look like the picture. It is more light blue in person than the mint green it looks like in pictures. So they used to be sized by numbers and I've always gotten size 4 that fit great. These I got in a size small and they are pretty loose so you may want to size down.
