Let's talk about these Armani Exchange Icon shorts - they look fire with that embroidered logo, but Florida humidity made me question my life choices. The cotton French terry feels premium when you first touch it... until you realize it's basically a winter blanket masquerading as summer shorts.

The fit is a nightmare roulette - my usual Medium arrived looking like toddler jeggings, while the Large could fit two of me. Amazon's size algorithm clearly had a stroke. Pro tip: order both sizes and prepare for return shipping fees.

That black color does stay crisp though - no fading after multiple washes. The drawstring works when you finally find your Goldilocks size. But at this price point? I expected breathable fabric that doesn't turn my thighs into sauna pods.

Final verdict: Great for Instagram pics by the pool (if sized right), actual wearing in warm climates? Prepare to sweat like you're in a Bikram yoga class.
