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 am so disappointed! I bought several pairs last summer in size M, and just ordered the new stripe in size M, and they are at least an inch larger through the waist, if not more! They bag on my behind, while last year's mediums fit perfectly! I went to exchange them for size S, and all sizes are sold out! I put a Small in the bag, and suddenly it was not available. Not fair, Athleta! Stay consistent in sizing, so customers can rely on you!

Beautiful style, but "Sky" color is darker than it appears

Loved the shorts and pants, but "Sky" is darker than it appears in photos, and doesn't match other "Sky" colored clothing on the site.

Zippered pockets, perfect length inseam and washes up well. Can easily be dressed up or down. I purchased in three colors. Great summer staple! I'm a size 23 or 24 in denim, and XXS fits loose but feels and looks "breezy", just as linen should!

Nice but some colors have holes.

Purchased several colors. The Breaker came with a hole in the front leg. It and was sold out in XS so couldn't exchange. I counted on it for a vacation trip. Runs at least one size bigger

Love the color (Sky), fabric and length of these shorts (4" inseams are usually too wide for me) but the rise is way to high compared to my other mid rise Athleta bottoms from past years. Please consider many of us prefer low to mid rise bottoms and high rise are too uncomfortable and unflattering.

I LOVE these shorts. Comfy, cool, and easy to style for Summer. My only regret is not buying more colors on sale

I am 55 yrs old and I prefer a relaxed fit in the waist and a slim fit in the hips. I am between a small and a medium and the small size fits perfectly and comfortably. Sometimes a medium fit looks frumpy in the hips area. I love the cut at Athleta and bought the white and natural color! Can't wait to wear them this Summer!

Lovely shorts-RUN BIG- and white linen short fits well but is on return as they are very sheer- your legs show through. They should have a lining!!!!

PLEASE bring back the extended sizes!!!

I love these shorts. I have them in a 1X and they're perfect. I haven't seen this size available so far this year. I want to buy more! Very disappointing if they are not being offered.

Fabric is Fabulous!

These are the nicest shorts ever as far as the fabric! They are really well made and soft and not too thin. The only thing I would change is the fit because the inseam is way too long. They fit my hips great and my waist but I will be folding them over. I'm going to see how the size large fit. I bought XL because I can never find shorts that are big enough for my legs if they fit my waist.
