Better on you than the model.<br /> Looks like they will play well with what you already have in your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---athleta-retreat-linen#post-2393695 Sun, 17 Aug 2025 16:51:33 +0000 Joyce B 2393695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a very nice style of pants, they fit you great. I would make sure they are not see through, otherwise they are fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---athleta-retreat-linen#post-2393657 Sat, 16 Aug 2025 21:57:47 +0000 kkards 2393657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love. I have an Athleta linen shirt which is just fabulous- it’s a little stiff right out of the wash, but softens up as I wear it. The quality is great<br /> I used to have an issue with the wrinkles and the pockets showing, but as I’ve gotten older it bothers me less and less. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---athleta-retreat-linen#post-2393653 Sat, 16 Aug 2025 21:22:07 +0000 Karie 2393653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a nice pair of linen pants, and these look great on you. When they wrinkle it doesn’t bother me, it’s part of the charm of linen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---athleta-retreat-linen#post-2393643 Sat, 16 Aug 2025 19:32:06 +0000 Lisa 2393643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These linen pants are a home run. Each outfit is lovely! I personally like the cuffs, but I'm biased as I have been in a cuffing mood with my bottoms lately.</p> <p>I think these linen pants will indeed will be a workhorse for many seasons to come.&nbsp;I've found the linen pants I added this summer were a delightful change from shorts for my casual wardrobe.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---athleta-retreat-linen#post-2393596 Fri, 15 Aug 2025 15:11:17 +0000 Carol 2393596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love ankle pants, and these are great. I also like the transparency factor.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---athleta-retreat-linen#post-2393594 Fri, 15 Aug 2025 15:02:22 +0000 Laurie 2393594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I air-dried them the first time, and ironed them when damp. I'd be ok if they shrank a bit - permanently. So, may put them in the dryer for a while and see.<br />But, you are right, Lyn - may be just a temporary fix anyway! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---athleta-retreat-linen#post-2393585 Fri, 15 Aug 2025 06:03:50 +0000 lyn67 2393585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your linen pants here, all styled to perfection. You can also try them with flat sandals.<br />BUT, can you explain or somebody confirm about "leaving them in the dryer longer on the next wash as they are starting to grow as the day goes by"? I never knew about this trick, WOW! Do you find it really works&nbsp; other than shrinking a size-and the growing as the day goes by, again?&nbsp;<br />I love linen pants for casual, and I find pockets show through can be&nbsp; even flattering in some cases(for me at least:-))---it can have a bit of "lifting"(on the rear) or "masking" (on the front) effect, IYKWIM!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---athleta-retreat-linen#post-2393570 Fri, 15 Aug 2025 01:10:52 +0000 Jaime 2393570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They have a good cut and look terrific on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---athleta-retreat-linen#post-2393566 Thu, 14 Aug 2025 23:55:48 +0000 slim cat 2393566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks &nbsp;perfect - love all the combinations ( nice shoes! ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---athleta-retreat-linen#post-2393559 Thu, 14 Aug 2025 21:52:59 +0000 Angie 2393559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FANTASTIC new pants, <b>Laurie!&nbsp;</b>You've styled them well, and they suit you to a tee! All renditions work perfectly :)&nbsp;</p> <p>FWIW, on baggy pants, I don't mind pocket linings grinning through either.&nbsp;</p> <p>Special love for outfit #1!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---athleta-retreat-linen#post-2393557 Thu, 14 Aug 2025 21:14:00 +0000 Susie 2393557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great on you! I got that same style last year in black. I wore them more last summer because I used them as a casual work pant.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---athleta-retreat-linen#post-2393551 Thu, 14 Aug 2025 20:39:44 +0000 merwoman 2393551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear these pants beautifully. Lovely drape. Both tops look great, but I have a wee preference for the striped top, &nbsp;the pleats in the back give it a really nice movement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---athleta-retreat-linen#post-2393545 Thu, 14 Aug 2025 19:59:23 +0000 Suz 2393545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love them on you! Really nice shape to them. Thanks for showing them. They do remind me of my beloved J. Crew linen pants, now used as PJs (though those are more mid-rise).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---athleta-retreat-linen#post-2393542 Thu, 14 Aug 2025 19:03:04 +0000 Laurie 2393542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was interesting to see the pocket show through since they are really a heavier linen. It doesn't bother me that much but I get it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---athleta-retreat-linen#post-2393539 Thu, 14 Aug 2025 18:29:34 +0000 LJP 2393539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them on you ! Pocket show- thru is a personal deal breaker but the fit and details are great . I have them in mind to revisit next spring if they are still being made then . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---athleta-retreat-linen#post-2393538 Thu, 14 Aug 2025 18:21:34 +0000 Mirjana 2393538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice pants, good outfits. I also love linen pants for summer and have a few of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---athleta-retreat-linen#post-2393537 Thu, 14 Aug 2025 18:13:25 +0000 Laurie 2393537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This summer I have given linen a better try than in past years. In the past I have found linen pants to be scratchy, wrinkly, and shapeless. Wide leg linen looks ridiculously big on me.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Athleta Retreat ankle pants (can't collect, link <a rel="nofollow" href="https://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=6585560220002&amp;locale=en_US&amp;vid=1#pdp-page-content">here</a>) mentioned in&nbsp;Lisa's (LJP's)&nbsp; recent thread were a good option, and I got them on sale. I think the petite might have served me better both in length and rise, but it's almost sold out and back to the full price now.</p> <p>I decided to wear the pants at home today, and to run a few errands, to test them out for stretch, wrinkle, and comfort. I took some pics before sitting! After several hours the wrinkle factor is not bad. This is a heavy 100% linen. It's a touch itchy at the waist, but not unbearable. The rise is very high for me - I can't do a faux tuck. I have cuffed the pants - might take them with my R&amp;B Boyfriend jeans for a hem.&nbsp; I think I'll leave them in the dryer longer on the next wash as they are starting to grow as the day goes by.</p> <p>Didn't have a lot of time for pics, but wanted to try a few tops and shoes. I like them best with the BR wrap top. I think I'll get good use out of these for summers to come. </p>
