Let’s be realwho washes their jeans every time they wear them?
Here are the four questions you should ask yourself when deciding whether or not to wash those jeans.
Do they smell?
What material are they made of?
Have they stretched out?
“Denim shrinks because of the cotton content,” Guenza tells mbg.
Has it been over 10 wears?
And that’s 10 timesat most, barring any spills or smells.
The bottom line.
(The only time you’d want to use the dryer is if they were previously stretched.)
When well taken care of, a good pair of jeans can last you yearsand lots of washing cycles.
