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...

Fits large

Nice fabric and length. Bought recommended size M for my 5'2" 128lb frame but quite baggy with strange fit in back. Had to return. May try the small.

Comments about Retreat Linen Mid Rise 4"" Short

Pine is a beautiful color, the fabric is substantial, and the zip pockets are perfect. The waistband will hold you in without restricting. Sizes down to S from M. Can't wait to wear them this summer.

Comfortable and beautiful color. Pockets are well placed and zippers are well hidden. I guess I don't like how quickly and easily linen wrinkles. I returned them.

Great everyday short

Love the blue color. Super comfy shorts. Recommend ordering a size down. I'm curvy and normally wear a size large - a medium fit me well.

Comfortable and cool

Comments about Retreat Linen Mid Rise 4"" Short

I love these shorts! I wear them all the time when it gets warm enough. The larger, zippered pockets are amazing. Just adding more colors to my existing cache.

I erred on the larger of my 2 sizes as I feel that line should be loose. Would love to see these restocked in more neutral and summery colours!

love the new blue!

for this particular short, I ended up sizing down. They were too baggy in my normal size, which is XS. I love the Breaker Blue color new this season!

Well- fitting and comfortable

Finally ordered two pairs of these shorts and am thrilled with them. They are light, comfortable and fit beautifully. They are loose but not baggy. A good look. Can't wait to wear them on a tropical holiday!

I love linen in the summer but always struggle to find a set of high quality that doesn't feel like it will fall apart. This is that set. The weight and structure of this linen in great and I have already ordered the entire set in multiple colors.
