Runs large

Citizens 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 jeans

Owners report soft denim with a vintage feel and construction that holds up across years and repeat purchases; the stretch blends are noted for loosening with wear but recovering their shape after washing. The rigid all-cotton cuts have no give, and several owners who bought their usual size exchanged for one size up. Complaints center on the no-stretch cuts feeling restrictive through a full day, button-fly closures that divide opinion, and favorite styles being altered between seasons.

Strengths: Soft, substantial denim whose construction owners report lasting through years of wear and many washes.
Watch out for: The rigid all-cotton cuts have no stretch and run small, and owners complain when the brand changes closures or details on long-running styles.
Sizing: Several popular cuts run small — especially through the hips and thighs — so sizing up one size is commonly advised on the rigid styles, while the stretch styles fit closer to true size.
