The verdict

At $248, a solid mid-range poplin mini offering clean minimalism without the luxury tax—fair pricing for the segment.

Fit

Poplin suggests structured body and a crisp drape; likely true-to-size for a contemporary mini fit. Expect a neat, neutral silhouette.

Quality

Mid-market construction. Poplin holds its shape well and is durable for regular wear, typical of Citizens of Humanity's contemporary denim-adjacent lines.

Price check

Mid-tier—reasonably priced for a brand-name poplin skirt. No premium positioning, no steep discount; straightforward value for the quality.

Best for

Shoppers seeking a minimal, neutral mini skirt that layers well without demanding investment-piece commitment.

Care

Poplin can wrinkle; cold water and hang-dry or low heat will preserve the finish.

Fit check: Citizens of Humanity

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 skirts

Third-party owner coverage of this skirt line is thin — most of what surfaces is styling content rather than long-term wear reports. One blogger who owns a denim skirt from the line reports the high-rise, form-fitting cut flatters and dresses up or down easily. At the brand level, an aggregation of owner reviews of the label's denim scores quality at 4.60/5, but notes fit tends to run slightly large and that stretch fabrics loosen with wear; whether that carries over to the rigid-denim skirts is not documented.

Strengths: The one skirt-specific owner report found praises the high-rise fit, consistent with the brand's denim scoring 4.60/5 for quality across aggregated owner reviews.
Watch out for: Reviewers of the brand's denim report waists running slightly large and stretch styles bagging out with wear, and skirt-specific durability feedback is too scarce to confirm or rule that out for the skirts.
Sizing: Skirt-specific sizing reports are scarce; across the brand's denim, reviewers say fit runs slightly large and stretch fabrics loosen with wear, so between sizes the smaller one is the safer pick.
