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.

I love these! I feel like they do run a bit larger - I am 5'7.5", about 145 - 150 lbs, and the small was great (especially after wearing them for awhile, they definitely relax a bit). These actually sat just at or above my belly button, so I think they could almost be high rise. LOVE THEM!!!!

Well made linen short, not too long, not too short. I'm 5'1" 105lbs, an xxs is just right for me. Got it in a sale in late summer, planned to wear it for a few summers. Haven't washed it yet, hopefully it holds it's shape in the washer!

These are by far the best shorts I've ever purchased. I bought them in 4 colors. I recently started learning about the dangers of synthetic fabrics and decided to purchase these because they are 100% linen. I wear them walking my dogs and they are very comfortable and breathable. I also love the zipper pockets. I'm able to store my phone and etc. None of my other shorts have zipper pockets and my phone would always fall out, so these are a game changer! Highly recommend.

I like them. They're a little long for what I usually wear. Wish they were two inches shorter but keeping them for travel wear in Thailand.
