New Jeans Just In: The Stilt – 17 Years Riot from AG. You girls probably already saw this pair on my Instagram. I'm madly in love with cropped skinny jeans and the blue is the perfect blue color that I was looking for. The heavily distressed knees are just so cool. Because of my love for the jeans, I want them to always look so blue and fit me perfectly. They are an essential to create an effortless casual weekend look.
When I was growing up, my mom always told me that new clothes needed to be washed before you could wear them. I still remember my jeans changing after washes, where they became loose, the fit wasn't as good anymore and the blue denim lost its vivid pigment of indigo blue. I never really cared that much because jeans would come and go plus the jeans I wore when I was growing up were not expensive. Until I moved to New York many years ago, I had never owned a pair of premium denim. My first pair was a pair of J Brand jeans. I remember how expensive they were for me back then, but they made me look into how to protect my jeans after I washed them. Today let's talk about how to wash your jeans to ensure they last longer, loves!
-Wash them less frequently
It's totally fine to wash your jeans less frequently and wear them at least a few times before you wash them for the first time. I read somewhere earlier this year that Levi's CEO revealed that he hasn't washed his jeans in more than a year, haha. I'm not too sure about going down this extreme of waiting more than a year, though. You can rotate between a few different pairs of jeans to avoid not wearing the same pair too often. It's really important to not wash them so often so that they'll maintain that perfect color. If they’re really dirty, you can just wash that dirty spot. I normally wash my jeans after wearing them about 5 times.
-Wash them inside out
-Try not to machine wash them
Instead hand wash them with cold water. Also air drying is always best. You should definitely read the tag before your first wash. Every pair of jeans has different requirements. Even if machine washing them might be ok for certain jeans, the general rule is to not put them into the washing machine. When I'm really busy, I’ll actually throw them into the washer, but I select delicates and I separate the jeans from my other clothes. Then I normally just lay them down flat to air dry them.
-Freeze your jeans overnight
Some people have said that if you keep your jeans in the freezer overnight it'll kill all the bacteria. They also say that it makes your pair of jeans feel real clean, so that you can wear comfortably after freezing them. Their recommendation is to freeze your jeans about once a month. However, I have to admit that I’ve never tried this before. Have you girls ever done this?
How often do you wash your jeans? How do you wash them? :) XO
新AG的牛仔裤17年洗的这种,你们可能已经在我的Instagram看到了。我真的对这种短的紧身的蓝色牛仔裤情有独钟。这种蓝是正蓝色,完全就是我想要的那种,而且破破的膝盖也是我最爱的。因为很爱所以我对他是倍加爱惜。绝对是穿出休闲感觉的必需单品。
从小到大,我妈妈就说新的衣服都要洗了才可以穿。我还记得牛仔裤穿了段时间后就不紧身了,颜色也没有很正的日子。小时候也不在乎,因为新的衣服总会来的,而且穿的都不贵。直到很多年前我搬来纽约,拥有了我自己的第一条J Brand.那对当时的我来说真的很贵,那个时候我开始找寻让牛仔裤的方式。所以啊,今天我们就来谈谈牛仔裤的洗涤吧。
-尽量少洗
牛仔裤少洗些是绝对没有问题的,而且本来就是没有那么脏。Levi's的总裁今年在一个活动上说他自己穿的那条牛仔裤已经一年多没有洗了。哈哈。不知道我可能不能一年不洗。但是几条牛仔裤轮流穿,不需要洗的那么勤快。这对保持牛仔裤的颜色和弹性很重要。如果很脏,就只洗脏的地方。我一般穿5次以后洗。
-洗的时候把牛仔裤里面翻过来洗
-尽量不要机洗
用冷水手洗,然后风干。新的裤子一定要读洗涤要求。每条牛仔裤可能有不同要求。可能有的时候说机洗可以,但是尽量还是手洗比较好。有时候太忙了,我也直接网洗衣机里一扔,但是我会和其他衣服分开,而且选软的洗涤方式。然后就平放下风干。
-用冰箱冰去细菌
我看到有些人说如果把牛仔裤放冷冻库里一晚可以杀菌,让你感觉很干净,穿起来也舒服。一个月除一次菌。我是从来没试过这招。你们呢?试过的朋友大家来谈谈吧?
你们平常多久洗一次牛仔裤?都怎么洗呢?爱你们:)
