Let me start by saying this Armani Exchange tee looks 🔥 when you first take it out of the package. The logo branding gives that instant designer vibe, and the fabric feels substantial - not like those flimsy fast fashion tears that lose shape after two wears.

The fit is what I'd call 'intentionally boxy' - it's roomy through the torso with sleeves that hit just right. Wore it to a casual rooftop bar and got multiple compliments on how the crewneck sits perfectly without being too tight.

BUT (and this is a big but) - the washing situation is a nightmare 😱. After one cold wash and air dry (following care instructions!), my medium now fits like a cropped small. The shrinkage isn't uniform either - while the shoulders still fit fine, the length became comically short, giving me accidental crop-top vibes.

If you're between sizes or tall, definitely size up. The quality is there in terms of stitching and fabric weight, but that unpredictable shrinkage makes it hard to recommend at full price. Maybe grab it on sale if you don't mind potentially ruining the fit after laundry day.
