Great pants-poor quality control

These are my all time favourite pants. I have 2 or 3 pairs in every colour, all the same size. For reference I am 5 ft 4", approx 120lbs and I purchased in a size XXS as I find they tend to stretch out quite a bit after wearing for a while and they do fit big overall-just not in length-see rest of r...

AWFUL, What the heck Athleta?

I bought these last year and they are long gone to the Second Hand Store nearby. The waistline either sits up so high or the crotch seam is half way down to your knees. Bulky material across the stomach and the pockets on the backside were unflattering. I can't believe they are still for sale. ...

Comments about Retreat Linen High Rise Wide Leg Pant

Love the color, fit and the flow. The high rise made it comfortable with the stretch that's just right. Size down because it's linen. I purchased the green

I love these pants so much that I own them in 3 colors. They are a casual yet elegant and flattering fit. Can be dressed up or down. I always get asked where they are from when I wear them.

I have worn these pants a few times and bought them exactly 2 months ago. I wore them to walk my dog around the neighborhood. Both inner thighs have holes (bigger than a quarter) already. Never buying from Athleta again as their quality has clearly changed from what it used to be.

Nice

They seem roomier than previous years but I like them. They are long. I have long legs and rarely are pants too long on me but these are almost too long. I'll hem them if I need to. I'm very had previous years versions for nearly 3 years and they still look great. Size down.

Sad these pants aren't holding up!

I LOVE these pants but within two months of purchasing the seams are already coming undone on inside and outside of waistband. I've only worn them a handful of times. The fit and style are great. Got two other pairs in different colors. Was really hoping they would last, now worried my other pairs wouldn't last either. Very sad.

Flattering but absurdly long

I love these and they fit perfectly except for the fact that they are preposterously long and drag under my heels even in thick soled shoes. Keep in mind I am 5'8" so I'm not exactly petite! But I like them enough that I paid to have them hemmed. I got a large, have fairly thick thighs and wide hips, little bit of belly but a narrower waist and they are very flattering.

Perfect for a casual summer

These linen pants are just lovely. They fit well and look great, for a few minutes. They wrinkle so much and don't look as nice as when you first put them on. I still love them because they give another option for summer days running errands. I wish the fabrication was different, maybe next year.

This is the third summer I have returned to purchase these. I love them for both weekends and to dress up for work. They are fantastic in the summer to keep cool and still look put together. I also love the fun colors and usually get one pair of black and another in a bright shade. Only downside is they usually only last one season before parts of them start to show wear for me anyways.

So darn comfortable!

Just got these and wore them to work today. So comfortable and cool for a hot summer day! Love the slit on the inside lower pant leg. Planting the seed to have it on the outside of the lower pant leg. :0). Really appreciate the ample pockets with zippers!!!!

Super comfortable and well made

I love these. I usually wear a small, but ordered the petite medium as I wanted them to be roomy, and they are, so I'll assume they run true to size. Petite length is great for my 5'2 height. They are well made, not see-through and are extremely comfortable. I will be living in these this summer. Now I'm going to go buy another pair while they're still available!
