The verdict
Fit
Long-sleeve cut with texture detail suggests a structured fit. Expect true to size; texture may add subtle volume.
Quality
Textured cardigans demand precise seaming. Citizens of Humanity handles this well, creating a durable piece suitable for layering over dresses or fine separates.
Is the price fair?
Premium-tier pricing. Justified if you value the texture detail and plan to wear as a statement layering piece.
Best for
Dressier occasions and layering over finer pieces; good for work wear and night-out versatility.
Care
Hand-wash only for textured pieces; aggressive washing will damage the surface texture.
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.
