In the interest of full disclosure, I haven't gotten this wet as this was a pre summer vacation purchase. I can say I got the navy blue one and it was exactly what I was looking for. When dry, it hangs and resembles a normal T-shirt. I wear XL T-shirts so I ordered an XL and it fits perfectly. My wife liked it and said it would look more normal for walking up and getting an ice cream after swimming than the other rash guard shirt I own. I wish they had a charcoal or smoke grey one, I would get one of those too, as an alternate or backup. If you want something that looks like the picture, pull the trigger.
