The verdict
Fit
Waffle knit tends toward a closer, more articulated fit. The Argent collab likely means tailored proportions. Chocolate is a flattering neutral. True to size if following Citizens of Humanity's cuts.
Quality
Waffle construction is well-suited to Citizens of Humanity's mid-tier execution. Expect texture that holds across wash cycles and a fitted silhouette that doesn't sag.
Is the price fair?
Reasonable for a collaboration piece with fabric detail and fit complexity. The Argent name adds some design premium, fairly applied.
Best for
Women who value waffle texture, fitted cuts, and brand collaborations, and don't mind paying for a refined basics piece.
Care
Wash inside out and lay flat to preserve waffle definition and the tailored fit.
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.
