The verdict
Fit
Short-sleeve cut sits standard; likely true to size. Lighter construction suggests a relaxed fit.
Quality
Typical of Citizens' summer line — lighter yarn and more relaxed seaming than winter pieces. Expect one season to several seasons depending on wear.
Is the price fair?
Fair mid-tier price for a warm-weather cardigan. Pricing aligns with seasonal pieces from comparable brands.
Best for
Warm-weather layering and travel where a lightweight cardigan adds coverage without bulk.
Care
Hand-wash or delicate cycle to prevent stretching in the lightweight knit.
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.
