The verdict
Fit
Designer construction typically means tailored proportions and refined detailing. Without fabric spec, expect a fitted, intentional silhouette—likely high-waisted and tapered.
Quality
Citizens of Humanity is known for quality construction and premium blends, typically heavier fabric than mass-market alternatives. Durability is excellent.
Is the price fair?
Premium tier; at 238 USD, you're paying significantly for the design label and heritage. Quality justifies some premium, but not all of it.
Best for
Luxury-conscious shoppers and fashion enthusiasts willing to pay for designer branding and refined proportions.
Care
Likely requires gentle care; follow care label closely as premium materials may demand specific washing and drying.
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.
