Citizens of Humanity Vacation: Effortless Summer Denim Done Right
When Los Angeles-based Citizens of Humanity launched their Vacation collection, they understood something fundamental about summer dressing: the best pieces feel as good as they look. This isn't about sacrificing style for comfort—it's about finding that sweet spot where premium denim construction meets the ease of weekend living.
The Marlow short exemplifies Citizens of Humanity's approach to vacation dressing—it's the high-rise silhouette you know and love, reimagined for warmer days. The vintage fraying isn't just decorative; it's a nod to the brand's Los Angeles roots, where lived-in luxury has always been the gold standard. The "Plaster" wash offers that perfect middle ground between crisp white and broken-in beige, making it endlessly versatile for summer styling.
What sets this collection apart is the thoughtful construction details that Citizens of Humanity has perfected over two decades. Each piece uses the brand's signature premium cotton blends, which means these shorts will hold their shape through beach days and city strolls alike. The high-rise cut flatters while the relaxed leg opening keeps things comfortable—a balance that's harder to achieve than it looks.
Beyond denim, the Vacation collection ventures into linen territory with pieces like the Brynn drawstring trouser. This isn't your typical vacation linen—Citizens of Humanity sources theirs from European mills known for producing fabric that gets softer with each wear while maintaining structure. The drawstring waist offers adjustability without sacrificing the tailored silhouette that makes these suitable for more than just beach cover-ups.
The beauty of Citizens of Humanity's Vacation collection lies in its versatility. These aren't pieces that live only in your suitcase—they're designed to seamlessly transition from weekend farmers market runs to evening dinners on the terrace. At Lola Dré, we appreciate brands that understand modern life rarely fits into neat categories, and this collection embodies that philosophy beautifully.
What's particularly noteworthy is how Citizens of Humanity has maintained their commitment to sustainable practices within this collection. The brand's focus on creating pieces that last seasons rather than trends means these vacation staples will become wardrobe anchors, developing character and comfort with each wear.
