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. ...

I now own two different colors in these pants. I get compliments every time I wear them. They wash well and do not lose shape with wear. I love the slit at the bottom of the leg as well. I am about 5'8" and 140 and a Small (my usual Athleta size) and it fits perfectly.

Love these pants! I have owned them for a few years and they are my go to pant in the summer. Every year I purchase another color to add to the collection because they are my go to for going to the beach, on the boat, or out to dinner. They look nice with a t-shirt, tank top, or button down. They are very light weight and it's a bonus that they are 100% linen. Would highly recommend these. I have them in size S and M and found the mediums to be a better/flowier fit.

I love linen and these pants have quickly become a favorite. The zipper pockets make them great for travel and the long length is fantastic for my 5'10 self. I love the fit and the relaxed vibe that can still be dressed up for a night on the town. I now own them in 2 colors.

I have these in two colors from last year, size small. Last year, I would have said that these pants run large. I ordered the pink and lighter blue this year and they are smaller. I'm hoping the blue will come back in medium but I'm returning these. And yes, the same pants from last year still fit fine.

Washed and dried (per the tag instructions) my new black pair, and they faded. Disappointing to say the least. The black is my second pair, also have the natural color. They are comfortable and fit well. I guess black just doesn't wash well.

Comments about Retreat Linen High Rise Wide Leg Pant

Wearing linen is the ultimate "feel good" experience. These high waisted pants are elegant, stylish and comfortable. The deep zippered pockets are the cherry on top.

I usually stay away from baggy pants to avoid the dreaded diaper butt. That being said, they aren't too bad for baggy pants. The fabric is lovely. I got black and hopefully they'll wear and clean well. I personally wish there wasn't zippers on the pockets. I don't feel they're needed. They are loose and if you're in between sizes for lathers pants, you may be able to size down. For me, I'm keeping them the size I normally get in this brand.

Love petite sizes

These pants are wide leg, but look great on a petite frame. I am 5'1 and the xxs fits perfectly. That being said, I do normally wear an xs, so they do run a tad big. The leg just touches the floor. Very comfortable. Pink is a bit see through so keep that in mind. Others have said petite was way too long, but I didn't have this issue. Would have given 5 stars, but took one away as I am not necessarily a fan of the side slits on the leg, but I would still recommend in spite of this.

Why the slit at the bottom

I know Athleta is for active wear, but why the slit at the ankle. It ruins an otherwise perfect pair of pants
