The verdict
Fit
Slim cut through the body with 3/4 sleeves; expect a closer fit at the waist and hips. Sleeves may run snug at the forearm. Check the brand's size chart for your frame.
Quality
Same quality floor as the brand's other boat-neck basics—finished seams, stable jersey. The slim tailoring demands good fabric recovery to avoid bagging.
Is the price fair?
Mid-tier Citizens of Humanity pricing for a refined shape. You pay for fit complexity, not exotic fabric. Reasonable for the category at this brand level.
Best for
Women seeking a tee that works layered or solo, with enough shape to feel intentional without requiring a special body type.
Care
Machine wash cold, lay flat to dry to maintain the slim silhouette and preserve color in the brulee stripe.
Fit check: Citizens of Humanity
Runs largeCitizens of Humanity tends to run about half a size large and stretches with wear, so most owners size down for a fitted look.
A stylist's sizing guide reports the brand "generally run[s] about half a size large" and that owners "expect about an inch of stretch in the waistband after a few hours of wear," advising those between sizes to go down one. Hands-on reviewers back this up across cuts: one who ordered her chart size in the Horseshoe jean found it loose and repurchased a size down, and a shorts reviewer says the relaxed styles "run really big" and always sizes down. The caveat owners flag is line-level: relaxed and baggy cuts run largest, while high-rise styles fit closer to true size — and older forum threads on the skinny-era styles were more mixed.
Sizing advice: Size down one if you're between sizes or want a snug fit — especially in relaxed and baggy cuts, which stretch and loosen with wear; stay true to size only if you want the intentionally slouchy look.
