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.

Love the blue color. Super comfy shorts. Recommend ordering a size down. I'm curvy and normally wear a size large - a medium fit me well.

I love these shorts! I wear them all the time when it gets warm enough. The larger, zippered pockets are amazing. Just adding more colors to my existing cache.

athleta.gapcanada.caI've purchased a few iterations of the Athleta linen pants but these are my first pair of shorts. Love them! The length is perfect and I love that they flare out slightly, which is flattering. I erred on the larger of my 2 sizes as I feel that line should be loose. Would love to see these restocked in more neutral and summery colours!

for this particular short, I ended up sizing down. They were too baggy in my normal size, which is XS. I love the Breaker Blue color new this season!

Finally ordered two pairs of these shorts and am thrilled with them. They are light, comfortable and fit beautifully. They are loose but not baggy. A good look. Can't wait to wear them on a tropical holiday!

I love linen in the summer but always struggle to find a set of high quality that doesn't feel like it will fall apart. This is that set. The weight and structure of this linen in great and I have already ordered the entire set in multiple colors.
