The verdict
Fit
Short-sleeve henleys from this brand typically fit close and tailored. Nali likely offers structure through the shoulders and a fitted torso. Size true; the cut is intentionally neat.
Quality
At $188, stripe alignment must be flawless, button plackets reinforced, and seaming pristine. Premium finishing is expected and required at this price.
Is the price fair?
Premium pricing for a striped henley relies on the brand name and execution. The stripe adds visual interest but not technical value; cost reflects design and tailoring only.
Best for
Shoppers who prefer striped basics and will wear henleys regularly enough to justify the premium price point.
Care
Striped tees can show dye lines if mishandled; wash inside-out and use gentle cycles to preserve stripe clarity.
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.
