The more you wash your dark jeans, the higher the chances of the color fading away. Instead of always doing a full wash on jeans, opt to clean out stains with a cloth and water.

This should minimize the risk of your jeans fading fast.

2.Wash them inside out

Always wash your jeans inside out to protect the outside of the jeans. This shields the fabric from breaking down due to the constant washing which makes them appear faded.
