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...em! I don't love the way they look, but that's just me. The shorts feel great--the fit is loose without being baggy. I can move however I like without flashing anyone or having to constantly tug them down. They are light and comfortable. I wear a 10P in the Retreat Linen Pant and medium in these shorts is perfect. (I am short, chunky, and I have a big muscular booty and thighs). I got olive (which has a beautiful subtle stripe texture) and I'd happily purchase more in other colors (navy please?).
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...turn window for the delivered shirt. When I requested an extension to return the shirt until I had received the companion pieces, I was flatly denied. I wound up returning the shirt. I will probably return the shorts and pants too, rather than repurchasing the shirt. I hope Athleta Customer Service will reconsider its strict policies when its own supply issues created the difficulties for its loyal customers.

Best linen shorts. The natural is great. The white is a little too see-through for me so I only have these in natural and black. May be expanding my collection of them this year. They do loosen a bit as you wear them so if you are between sizes I'd recommend sizing down!

Love these shorts. I wanted linen as I will be going somewhere humid so want material that will breathe. The 4" short is perfect for me and I'm 5'3". The color isn't something I normally wear but it's really nice. I ordered Medium which is my size - I would have preferred it be a tad larger but it does fit and the Large would have been too big I think.

Love these shorts. They have become a staple In my wardrobe, and I've purchased over ten of them in various colors. They are the perfect length, not too long and not too short. I generally lay them flat to dry to preserve them, and they are going great after several washes. I am 112lbs and 5'3" and the xxs fits perfectly.
