Caring for your clothes so they last longer

The best way to save money on clothes is keeping them in good shape. A badly set wash, an aggressive dry, and a nice piece warps within weeks. A few habits are enough to noticeably extend their lifespan.

Actually reading the labels

The symbols on the care label aren't decorative: they show the right temperature, drying mode and ironing. Washing at low temperature preserves colours and fibres while using less energy. Sorting by fabric and colour avoids plenty of mishaps.

The small saving moves

Sewing a button back on, treating a stain quickly, air-drying rather than tumble-drying: these habits prevent plenty of damage. Airing a garment instead of washing it every time preserves it too. Fewer aggressive washes means more clothes in top shape.

Caring for your clothes also means caring for your budget and the planet. A well-kept piece stays good-looking and sticks with you for a long time. It's the most cost-effective move in your entire wardrobe.
