The verdict
Fit
Women's, tagged with '60s styling so probably relaxed or gently shaped. Confirm fit through customer photos or reviews.
Quality
Citizens of Humanity's Humanity Collection emphasizes design storytelling. At $228, quality is solid but the price reflects retro aesthetic more than durability.
Is the price fair?
Premium for a basics polo, justified if you value the brand's design direction and historical inspiration.
Best for
Women who shop for design-forward pieces and want retro styling from a contemporary label.
Care
Hand wash in cool water and dry flat; vintage-inspired cuts sometimes risk distortion in hot water.
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.
