The verdict
A linen short-sleeve at mid-range pricing; reasonable value for warm-weather dressing if you accept linen's wrinkle character as intentional.
Fit
Linen naturally wrinkles; the short-sleeve cut suggests a relaxed, warm-weather fit. Citizens of Humanity's linen pieces fit with modest ease for layering or standalone wear.
Quality
Citizens of Humanity's linen holds up well through washing; expect the fabric to soften considerably after the first few wears.
Is the price fair?
At $228, this is reasonable value for linen from a heritage brand. Linen's care demands and wrinkle aesthetic are factored into the price; fair for the category.
Best for
Warm-weather dressing for shoppers who embrace or prefer linen's lived-in wrinkle character; pairs easily with shorts and casual bottoms.
Care
Linen wrinkles with wear and washing; wash in cool water, hang dry, and embrace the natural creases or iron if you prefer a crisp look.
