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 are perfect for vacations. Zip pockets are great for storing a hotel key and lip gloss. Dress up or keep it casual - both look great. Comfy enough t for a flight or road trip.

I have these shorts in every color in the nylon fabric. They are perfect for summer, a little above mid thigh with bit of a flare. I also purchased the linen short in black. Same fit, but with a more refined look. I'll be wearing them all summer.

I have 4 pairs of these shorts in different colors. My mom noticed them and asked where they were from so I ordered a pair of the white ones to her house. She is 5'7 and 165lbs and got a Large. She said they are the best linen shorts she's ever owned (and she's worn many over the years) and will probably order more colors.

I like the color a lot. As for fit, they are a bit too high waisted for me as I have a short torso, and even in cold water wash and low heat dryer I noticed almost an inch of shrink in the length. Really comfy and still worth the sale price though and love the casual look and they go with so many of my tops. You can dress them up with a nice platform handle too!

So comfortable! Linen holds up better than most and doesn't get too wrinkly.
