How to care for your jeans

Lane Bryant jeans are machine washable, because when you’re living life at full speed – ease is everything! That said, there are a few helpful how-tos and denim care tips to help you get the most out of your jeans.

For a longer life, launder them less. Lane Bryant jeans have ah-maz-ing recovery and retain their shape, so they don’t need to be washed after each wear. Plus, washing less can help prevent fading. Of course, whether you go 3, 5 or 10 wears before washing is totally your call. But less laundry always feels like a win, right?

To evade the fade, wash on cold. Setting your washer to cold not only helps save on your energy bill, it’s good for your jeans! The cold cycle can help keep your blues from fading. Turning jeans inside out before you toss them in the wash is also a good idea – just don’t forget to check the pockets.

Air dry your denim, when you can. Sure, we all know air drying jeans is the best practice since high-heat dryers can be rough on jeans. But we get it – not everyone has time to air dry. As a compromise, try hanging your jeans inside on a rack to start, then toss them in the dryer on low heat to finish them off (and soften them up).
