Just as sharp and eye-catching up close as they were in the pictures.  Definitely "in your face!"

My wife and I ordered these for a big holiday party, and they were a huge hit - many compliments and giggles (although some of the latter may have been due to most of the other attendees wearing formal attire!)

Anyway, they were lots of fun and quite comfortable; we'll see how they hold up after a few washes, but we definitely intend to wear these again - and now I've got my eye on some of their other great animal patterns.  :)
