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. ...

Great pants, I love mine. I have 2 pair, 1 medium in the tan/natural color and a S in black. I am normally a medium but these do stretch a little so I sized down to a small. I like the fit of the small much better.

Nice and long for tall girls

I literally have 10 pairs of these, 4 white, and the rest other colors. Im 5'9" 135 and get XS Tall and also shrink them in the dryer. They look great on. I pair them with heels or flats. They still hit the floor even after shrinking them and with heels which I love. I live in Florida and wear these constantly during the daytime year round. you can dress them up or down

I absolutely love these pants. They fit well (not too snug in the hips like some brands) and the ankle slit sets them apart. I wish they came in navy. I have the natural shade, and they're great. If they had my size, I'd buy a second, backup pair.

Unfortunately I am past the 30 day return window. I want to replace them, as they fit well and I like the style, but I am not sure I want to take a chance on a second pair.

These pants are so comfortable, especially for warm weather seasons and travel destinations. I love that they are easy to care for, not overly wrinkly and just the right length for this vertically challenged gal!

The regular length is too long on me at 5'5". The pants drag on the floor. Wish there was a short length option, not just petite. Material is heavier, fit otherwise good.

I am 5'7"-not tall, but not short by any means. These pants are so long on me that the top of the cute split is actually on the floor. I think maybe they were a tall and labeled incorrectly because I didn't see any reviews saying the length was an issue. I am considering having them altered to the top of the split but what if that doesn't look good? Very disappointed in them and that is a first for me with linen from Athleta.

love these so much

Linen is such a great fiber and really helps with the heat since I go inside and out a lot for work. Of course, it IS linen and linen wrinkles, so I don't understand why people are writing how surprised they are by this. The split in leg at the bottom is lovely and has a nice swing. I like how the pockets zipper closed, to keep the pants looking more formal and tidy. I love the type of waist cord used and the metal hardware on them. Easy to fold over a hanging rack and let dry. They dry 4x faster than a bamboo fiber. I use a steamer sometimes to de wrinkle a bit. I have purchased the brown, natural, black, stripe, and mint colors.

Finally a pair of pants for women with hips and thighs that doesn't look like it's painted on. I love these! I am snack size in the height department and lift weights. These pants are comfortable, cool and easy as pie to launder. A bit wrinkly when hung dry but you just pull it flat(gently) while damp and it's all good. Please keep making these!!
