When Levi’s CEO Charles Bergh revealed he hadn’t washed his jeans in over a year, the internet buzzed. But among fashion editors and denim purists? That’s old news.
“I never wash my jeans,” he said plainly.
And just like that, the denim world nodded in agreement.
Because when it comes to long inseam jeans, especially those crafted with premium stretch and structure, less washing equals more longevity, better fit, and elevated style.
Why Washing Less Protects the Style You Love
Your jeans tell a story—and washing them too often erases it. According to Ana Santi’s BBC article, 'Don't wash them too regularly': One pair of jeans is all we need - here's why , frequent laundering can strip color, distort the silhouette, and shorten the life of your denim. For women who rely on well-fitting, mid-rise long inseam jeans, that’s a high price to pay.
Instead, experts recommend:
-
Wearing them 10–12 times before washing
-
Spot-cleaning where needed
-
Airing them out between wears
-
Avoiding tumble dryers at all costs
Bonus: washing less is also better for the planet.
Sustainability Never Looked So Good
Denim is one of fashion’s most water-intensive fabrics. And if you’re lucky enough to own mid-rise bootcut tall jeans that flatter your frame, extend your impact—not just your inseam—by wearing smarter, not washing harder.
Small changes, like skipping the weekly wash, can conserve thousands of liters of water annually and reduce microfiber pollution in our oceans.
