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 am 55 yrs old and I prefer a relaxed fit in the waist and a slim fit in the hips. I am between a small and a medium and the small size fits perfectly and comfortably. Sometimes a medium fit looks frumpy in the hips area. I love the cut at Athleta and bought the white and natural color! Can't wait to wear them this Summer!

I love these shorts. I have them in a 1X and they're perfect. I haven't seen this size available so far this year. I want to buy more! Very disappointing if they are not being offered.

These are the nicest shorts ever as far as the fabric! They are really well made and soft and not too thin. The only thing I would change is the fit because the inseam is way too long. They fit my hips great and my waist but I will be folding them over. I'm going to see how the size large fit. I bought XL because I can never find shorts that are big enough for my legs if they fit my waist.

Love the lightweight fabric, comfy fit and perfect length. Can easily dress up or down. Great for the beach or bbq/picnic. Bought cream and black colors.

I ordered these shorts online along with 3 other items. Athleta only sent one item in my order, which was not these shorts. When I tried to contact them about this they were unable to process my merchandise claim. They use another company to handle their merchandise claims. I will not be using online ordering again from Athleta. This is sad because I live far away from the actual store.

I wanted to love these shorts, but the fit of was way too wide they were not flattering at all on me. They made me look much bigger than I am, had to return.

Comments about Retreat Linen Mid Rise 4"" Short
Wish they made these in either petite or shorter inseams. I bought the green in small, which fit my waist and hips well but a bit long on my short legs - I'm 5'0". Ill wear them folded up as the color is lovely and the shorts are comfortable.
