Anita Puff Sleeve Jacket in English Rose
The verdict
Fit
Puff sleeves and the brand's fitted cut mean this sits close at the body. Size true unless you want the sleeves to read larger.
Quality
Puff sleeves require careful construction; Citizens of Humanity executes this at mid-premium level with clean seams expected.
Price check
At $448, the price reflects the design detail. Mid-premium for a puff-sleeve jacket, and the feature-heavy cut limits everyday wear.
Best for
Trend-minded women who enjoy making a statement and rotate jackets seasonally.
Care
Dry clean; puff sleeves need professional care to maintain their shape.

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.

What owners report about Citizens of Humanity jackets & outerwear
Citizens of Humanity's outerwear draws on the same construction approach the brand built its name on in denim. Gear Patrol's review of the brand's Service Jacket highlighted 100% cotton fabric that's hand-sanded for a finished look, a corduroy collar, reinforced stitching, and a heavyweight bedford-twill hand despite its khaki canvas appearance. Broader customer feedback on the brand's denim -- which shares fabric sourcing with the jackets -- is more mixed: some reviewers describe the fabric as sturdy and shape-retaining through regular wear, while others say it felt thin for the price and began fraying after only a handful of washes, with sizing reported as inconsistent between styles.
- Strengths
- The construction details reviewers and editors call out most on the jackets -- reinforced stitching, a hand-sanded finish, a corduroy collar -- read as considered rather than decorative.
- Watch out for
- Some buyers of the brand's denim report the fabric feeling thin for the price and fraying after only a few washes, alongside sizing that varies from one style to the next.
- Sizing
- Sizing has been reported as inconsistent across styles, so check the specific style's fit notes rather than assuming true-to-size across the jacket line.
