Let me start by saying I had HIGH expectations for these Emporio Armani briefs. I mean, it's Armani - we're talking premium brand territory here.

The first thing that struck me was the fabric. While it's labeled as 'stretch cotton', it feels more like a cheap poly-cotton blend. Definitely not the buttery-soft luxury feel I expected at this price point.

The fit is... okay. The stretch does its job, but the waistband isn't as supportive as I'd like during workouts. They ride up more than my cheaper underwear options, which is frustrating.

On the plus side, the EA logo looks sleek (if you care about that), and they do come in a nice presentation box that makes them feel gift-worthy.

Would I buy again? Probably not. For the price, there are better quality options out there without the designer label hype.
