The verdict
Fit
Fine rib jersey suggests a fitted, somewhat clingy cut through the body. U-neck is accommodating. The rib will show wear at elbows and hips; check fit around the bust before committing.
Quality
Fine rib holds dye well and moves with the body, but offers no structural advantage over standard jersey at this price. Citizens of Humanity's construction is consistent, but the fabric is basic for $158.
Is the price fair?
Premium pricing for a minimalist tee. The rib adds visual interest but not utility or longevity. Budget brands offer similar or better rib basics at $20–40.
Best for
Loyal Citizens of Humanity customers who prioritize the fit silhouette and brand consistency over fabric innovation.
Care
Gentle wash and air dry to prevent rib distortion and color fade.
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.
