Keeper!

I'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 resto...

Nice linen, but polyester pockets and fits too big

I feel like Athleta sizing has really gotten way too big lately. On the size chart, I'm between a 2 (XS) and 4 (S), but lately I've found that XS and size 2 items have been too big lately. I'm 5'0" and have a waist of 26-27 and hips 36-37, which should put me squarely in that range, but every bottom...

Whoever designed these shorts, I wish I could give them a high five. One of my biggest pet peeves with linen clothing is that the linen pocket insert gets wrinkled when you wash it and leaves an annoying bulge on the outside (even when ironed, and who wants to iron??). These don't have that problem because a really smart person decided to use a smooth, silky, non-wrinkling fabric for the pocket. Also there is a zip closure to keep them from gaping open. As someone who sews and makes their own garments, this is *so* appreciated. Whoever did this, I hope you know how much you are appreciated!

Love these!

I have two pairs of these and they are hands down the best linen shorts I've tried. They definitely beat out Quince. The material is thick and well made! Definitely recommend.

I bought these on the half-off sale recently, and I've gotten so many compliments. They fit my waist so well and are stylish, and most importantly super comfortable. I'm 135 and 5'3" for reference and bought the small. Length is perfect as a mom who's not looking for anything super short.

These shorts are made of very comfortable material. However, I don't have a thigh gap and because of that, these shorts ride up quite a bit while walking. I like these shorts for lounge days, but if you're doing something more active, I would opt for a different pairs.

I'm between size XS and SM but went with the small so it was less snug in my thighs (a little loose in the waist because of that!) but these are super comfy

Love these in every way. Flattering and just the right length. I purchased the dark brown to add a different color to my wardrobe.

Sky color nothing like photo

The sky color should be a pretty mint green and the color in person is an ugly faded blue. Looks nothing like the photos online or the rest of the sky color line.

These shorts are great! I like the length and the zipper pockets. They wrinkle quickly, but that's just how linen is and I choose to embrace the wrinkles. The waistband is wide and stretchy so you have control over how tight they are. I have wide hips and thick thighs and the XL was still plenty roomy for me. Would definitely buy more.

I own these in two colors because I love them so much! Lightweight, good quality material, perfect for a hot summer day. I especially love the sky color for summer. It's very beachy and fun.
