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.

"This shorts fits really well. The linen fabric is lovely and comfortable. I'm very happy with my purchase. However, the delivery was complicated, with a lot of back and forth.

Why do we do this to women's bottoms? There is a pocket there, there is fabric added for a pocket that would hold things, but the hole is sewn shut. Asinine.

Love the way these fit. They are comfortable, stylish and long enough, but disappointed in the peachy color. I wore nude underwear and you could still see through them.

Love these shorts, very classy and a good length - not too short. The zipper pockets are a nice addition as they stay flat and ensure you don't drop anything. Fun colors too!

I would have kept all 3 colors I ordered if the sizing wasn't so wildly off. Each one fit differently. Disappointed.

I bought 2 pairs of these shorts last summer. I wore one pair for part of the summer and have just started wearing them again, so have not used them very long and they are already tearing along the zipper near the pocket. I'm very disappointed in the quality, even though I really like the fit and design. Totally not worth the money...
