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...

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.

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.

Light, comfy, and has zipper pockets

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.

After one wear, these shirts started to peel. It's a bit ridiculous for the price I paid for them.
