How to Keep Black Clothes Looking Black

Black is the most worn colour in a streetwear wardrobe, and the one that shows fading fastest. A few habits slow it down.

Wash cool and inside out

Heat and friction fade dye. Turn items inside out and wash at a low temperature.

Use a detergent for darks

These are made to protect colour. Wash blacks separately from lights so lint does not stick.

Dry away from sun

Direct sunlight fades dark fabrics, so dry indoors or in the shade. See how to wash a new hoodie.
