Who doesn't love jeans? Especially when they fit great! Its a closet staple. But are we taking good care of them? Here are some great tips on buying and keeping your favourite item of clothing in great shape.
1. Consider buying one size smaller. Jeans can stretch 10 percent after moderate wear, so when trying them on, be sure they hug your body.
2. Buy two pairs. If you find a style you love, buy one and have it hemmed to wear with flats and keep the other long to wear with heels
3. Choose a zipper over a button fly. It gives a cleaner, smoother look--no bunching
4. Always wash in cold water. Warm water can cause shrinkage. (Turn them inside out to prevent fading.)
5. Skip fabric softener. It can break down the dye, leading to color loss.
6. Air-dry your jeans. Heat can shrink the fabric.
7. Dry-clean dressy jeans. This will keep the rinse darker and fresher-looking.
Who knew jeans could be ruined so easily right? They always feel so sturdy! I know I don't follow all of these tips, which is probably why I go through so many jeans every year!
