Stacy and Clinton from "What Not To Wear" always say to wear dark wash, straight legged jeans with no tears, rips, fairs, etc. Such jeans are VERY hard to find, so I try to take care of them when I find them. I don't go as far as dry cleaning them - that's just not practical for me. But I have devised a strategy that seems to help:
1) Wash them inside out.
2) Put 1/2 cup vinegar in the wash the first time you wash them (got this tip from someone at J.Crew)
3) Only wash your jeans every 2 or three wears.
4) If they're just stretched out, not dirty, use at-home dry cleaning kits like Dryel to steam and freshen them without washing.
5) Hang dry, don't put them in the dryer.
So far this seems to have worked for me. What are your favorite tips for keeping jeans or other clothes looking their best wear after wear?
