Snug, warm, soft and sexy. They stay in place and the thumb hole is perfectly placed. I wear them constantly in my very cold office and they are exactly what I need.  I have gotten many compliments as well. They stay in place without feeling tight or constraining. If you only buy one pair of arm warmers- this is it! Also i would point out this is REAL KD Dance products and they were shipped with environmentally friendly packaging that I was very happy with. Top notch!
