Athleta clothing - reviews
Don''t fear the high waist!
I love this skirt! When I first put it on I wasn't sure. The rise is quite high compared to what I usually get from ... anywhere. The waist sits just below my navel. Also, I thought the undershort was a bit long, but after wearing it around, I fell in love. The fabric is buttery soft. The short though a bit long is close fitting, but does not bind at all. You barely know it is there. The skirt is cute and flirty. It falls just above the knee. I have camped, cycled, and even done TRX in this skort. I grew up in the 80's and i am averse to high waisted clothing, (thanks acid wash mom jeans), but fear not, this skirt is awesome. Ihave 2 of them. I am 5'5" 145 lbs.
Very pleased with skort and the ... service
This skort was a first time purchase from ... sent the wrong color and called them. They had the correct color reshipped immediately (got it in time for vacation), and I was given directions on how to print a shipping label to return the skort that was the wrong color. I was also given a 20% discount to compensate for the error. Great service! The skort is lightweight and so comfortable. I am 5'4" and a petite hits about 2 inches above my knee. Perfect length for me. This was my favorite piece of clothing for vacation as it is versatile, comfortable, and looks good with all kinds of tops. ... has a very happy new customer!
Best skort ever, but maybe only if you are tall or like a longer length
Bought this skort to wear on beach/island vacation. It was perfect as it is flowy and light but long and stylish enough to be a proper, respectable skirt. I often find Athleta's styling to be a bit on the dowdy side but this skirt is super cute. The fabric is soft and silky but with a sport vibe. Also wore it golfing yesterday and was at first disappointed that there was only a single back pocket ... turned out to be enough to easily stash four balls and I never felt them (who knows what I looked like from the back!). I've since gone back and bought more of their current colors. I found the patterns boring. Would have loved a bold chevron stripe in navy/parchment or and/or deep red. Slit side pockets on the seam would be handy. My guess is that this skirt would be too long for many ... me it is a very easy wearing, comfortable, cute skirt. I'm 48, 5'9" and 135 lb so it hits a few inches above my knee. I wear Athleta's ... 4 though I am usually a ... 6 in other brands. I've been buying from ... years and this is probably one of my top five favorite purchases.
Love all the ... buy from ... Great prices, great quality clothing.
Love this skort!
I bought this skort in the Rye color last year and wore it all summer and now into the winter with leggings and boots, so I just bought the Black color. I'm 5'2", 110lbs and usually wear a 0 or 2 in ... clothing. I got the 2 Petite in this skort and it hits right above my knee. It isn't loose, but I have some room and could probably have gone with a 0 if I were taller. The shorts inside are roomy, smooth, and soft - not fitted. The skirt material is also very smooth and soft. It's not very technical looking, so it can be ... up a bit. It's very lightweight and dries super fast. In addition to wearing it as a regular wardrobe item, it's my go to piece for airline travel and days when I'll be walking around Boston all day or being generally active while wanting to look polished.
Great skort - very flattering!
I liked this skort as soon as I saw it in the catalog & read many of the reviews. I was even more enthused when I saw a few gals at various events wearing this flattering skirt but waited until it went on sale & then bought it in 2 colors & the bl/wh print. The fabric is nice & I hope it washes well. The shorts are comfortable & offer good coverage if the skirt flies up. I've now worn the bl/wh & the bermuda blue skorts & received lots of compliments & second looks. I don't think I've ever had so many gals ask me where I purchased an item of clothing! With a nice top & sweater/jacket the bl/wh print especially is suitable to wear for (CO style) business casual. Note that I'm just over 6' & the tall hits me right above the knee so if you want a shorter skirt order the regular ... One oddity is the strings at the waistline; if you used them to sinch up the waist I'm afraid it would ruin the drape by making it pucker. After sitting on plastic seats it can get clingy from static (but it is very dry in CO so that may not be a problem elsewhere). Otherwise my favorite purchase from ... date!
Awesome skirt
I got this skirt a couple weeks ago and immediately took it on vacation. I would have worn it everyday, if I could. It was comfortable, flattering, and shook out the wrinkles of packing in no time. I usually wear a ... 10 in ... clothing and the 10 fit me perfectly. I might have to order more...
Love this skort!
This is the first item of clothing I've purchased from ... based on how much I love it -- I will be ordering more! It is unbelievably comfortable to walk long distances in AND to ... up a bit for an evening out. I don't want to wear anything else!

This is officially the first review of clothing I have ever written! But, I always read them before I buy clothing so I felt that this time it was worth writing. I am 5'4 and somewhere between 145-150lb. I just had my fourth baby 6 months ago. I ordered both the 8 and the 10 as I had never ordered thru ... before and didn't know quite how their sizes run. Both the 10 and the 8 fit me...basically...so, I tried them both on several times throughout the day to see which felt the best. The 10 was just ever so slightly too loose in the waist (this is generally how I like things to fit me), but, this slight looseness made the skirt fall just a little too low for me. The skirt hung sort of to the bottom of my knee and made the whole skort look just a little frumpy. The 8 fits perfectly...almost a little too perfectly. It looks great, I love how I look and feel walking in it, it hits my knee right at the midpoint, it's very comfortable to move and be a mom in...so, why the 4 stars? A couple things I don't love about this skirt. I think that the shorts underneath are very poorly fitting in comparison to the skirt. With both the 10 and the 8 the shorts "Fit" too well. I would prefer skort "shorts" to be a little loose and comfortable so that I don't really feel that they're there -with these though, in both sizes, they feel very "present" and somewhat snug and they ride up all the time. I think the shorts could have been made from a better more moveable fabric OR been constructed much looser and they still would have functioned perfectly for the reason that I wear skorts - coverage while playing and doing life with four little children, and to prevent chaffing when hot. The other slight negative about the skort is that to me the fabric feels sticky when I get hot (which, this summer, has been ALL THE TIME). The skirt does wick moisture well, so, it never looks wet or shows sweat or anything like that...it just feel kind of sticky when I'm hot. I am keeping the skirt because overall I would say that I do like it, I like how I look in it, the skirt is very cute and generally quite comfortable and not at all "old" looking like skorts have a tendency to be. If ... changed the under shorts on this skort I would buy it in several colors. As it is, I will just keep the one I have - olive. A note on this color - it is much browner than green. I would, in most light, call it a semi dark brown and not an olive. But, that is perfect for me. If it had been on the greener end of that color spectrum it would have been more difficult for me to wear.
I could live in this skort!
Great fabric, very comfortable. Since I am nearing 60, having an active wear item that doesn't hug my body like a bike short is fantastic. I have a small waist relative to my hips, so the inside waistband tie is a great help in getting a good fit. Have two from ... one from an ... competitor; like the ... better due to the waistband tie and Athleta's are about 2 inches longer - although my husband likes the shorter look!
Needs pockets; get rid of the contrasting stitching
This skort is frustrating because it would be the PERFECT item of clothing if only ... makes two changes. First, PLEASE add front pockets (keys and sensitive items aren't comfy or safe in a rear pocket!). Second, replace the contrasting stitching with same color stitching. I'm returning the black skort because the white stitching makes it look so "sporty" that I can't match it with nice tops or wear it for non sporty outings. You see the beauty of this skort is that it is so comfortable yet it can "pass" as a casual ... skirt! But not with the contrasting stitching. So please make it the same color. Otherwise I LOVE this skort; I wear the gray one ... 10 Tall) many days.
