These look just like they do in the pictures! Very interesting style, perfect for sauna or poolside. My only complaint is that as soon as I move around the "towel" portion starts to ride up and get out of place. I wonder if a size larger would work better, but it feels like a decent fit so I don't know. There's not a lot of fabric here so a little bit of movement could make this look more like a sweatband than a towel!
