1. Jeans versus leggings

Jeans vs. Leggings: Washing Habits and Care Washing jeans too often can shorten their lifespan and fade their color. Each wash can cause denim to lose its shape, and warm weather may lead to shrinkage, making jeans fit differently than when first purchased. To keep your jeans in good condition, avoid frequent washing. Chip Bergh, CEO of Levi’s, has not machine-washed his jeans for over ten years. He believes that washing less preserves both the color and structure of denim, while also saving water and reducing environmental impact. He recommends spot cleaning jeans when necessary, following the habits of early denim wearers who valued durability. If machine washing is needed, turn jeans inside out and use cold water only when truly dirty. Leggings, however, need a different approach. As they are designed to absorb moisture, leggings can develop bacteria and odors. For everyday wear, washing after two or three uses is usually enough. But after workouts, it is best to wash them each time to maintain freshness and hygiene.
