    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...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?).

    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...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 really live these linen shorts. Comfortable and great length. Washed nicely. Did not get crazy wrinkles in them!

    Comments about Retreat Linen Mid Rise 4"" Short

    I LOVE this color. I wish they had more in this color. Super comfortable shorts. I carry my weight through my thighs and hip. These are comfortable. If you are more slender in these areas- size down. If you are more pear shaped- these are easily true to size. I did almost think to size down, but they fit well in the waist. They are so comfy and easy to wear. I do like the zippered pockets.

    Comments about Retreat Linen Mid Rise Short

    Super comfortable shorts. I carry my weight through my thighs and bottom. These leave ample room. If you are more slender in these areas- size down. If you are more pear shaped- these are easily true to size. I did almost think to size down. But they are so comfy and easy to wear. I do like the zippered pockets.

    These are by far my FAVORITE shorts. I have two pairs of them and I want every color. Love the pockets and that I can zip them. Love love love.

    The shorts are okay. I know the style is baggy, but they're baggier than that... They're not as flattering as I had hoped they would be.

    Comments about Retreat Linen Mid Rise Short

    These are my new favorite warm weather shorts. I have them in 3 colors and find myself wearing them (almost) on a daily basis. They wash great and line dry overnight. I sized up as I like my shorts looser. For reference, I am 5'6", 142 lbs and purchased mediums.

    I just bought these shorts for vacation and they were perfect. Size was the usual size I purchase, M, and they packed very well. I would highly recommend. Can be worn casually or dressed up.
