Is your outfit "aging"?
Clothes do not only express character — they also affect the mood and behaviour of the person wearing them. Every outfit sends a certain message about its wearer and makes a certain impression on the people around them.
ARE YOU SEEING THIS WITH THE CLOTHES YOU WEAR?
Clothes gradually fading
The effects of washing, along with environmental factors, can make your clothes lose their original colour, particularly after drying. Fibres exposed to harsh sun for long periods gradually turn rough and lose their softness. On top of that, ultraviolet light fades the fabric so a garment looks as though it is "ageing" even though you bought it not long ago.
Sagging and stretching
One of the most visible signs that a garment is going downhill is a sagging, stretched collar — or even shrinkage. The cause may be an unsuitable wash setting, or a laundry product that cleans but does nothing to care for the fabric. Another cause is repeatedly tumble-drying clothes at high heat.
Without timely care and protection, your favourite outfit gradually loses its looks and you no longer feel confident putting it on.
Pilling
Did you know that pilling is also a sign your clothes are ageing and need attention right away? Some fabrics such as cotton, wool and synthetics tend to develop it after a period of washing. Pilling not only spoils the look of a garment but can itch or even feel uncomfortable to wear.

3 ways to stop your clothes "ageing"
Sort your laundry and choose the right wash setting
Sorting clothes so you can choose the right wash setting is an essential way to keep "ageing" from showing up in your clothes. Each fabric has its own characteristics and needs its own way of being cleaned and spun. Doing this looks after your favourite clothes as well as possible. And do not forget to use a mesh laundry bag to limit the effect of the drum on the surface of the fibres.
Dry your clothes properly
Drying clothes properly limits "ageing" and stops them losing their shape or original colour. Hang them out in the morning, when the sun is not too harsh, or choose an airy spot. Hang each garment separately so moisture can escape in good time and does not cause odours. Finally, with jeans or T-shirts, hang them horizontally to limit stretching.
