  • Designer Lucía Ruiz de Aguirre says jeans should rest for 24 hours between wears so their fibers can recover.
  • Repeated use without a break can cause denim to lose its shape and fit, while excessive washing can also damage the fabric.
  • Buying quality jeans and caring for them properly can help them last for several years.

Jeans may look sturdy enough for repeated wear, but designer Lucía Ruiz de Aguirre says they need a break between uses. Her advice is simple: wear them for one day, leave them aside the next, then put them on again.

“Jeans should not be worn two days in a row because the fibers need time to recover,” Ruiz de Aguirre said on social media. Without that pause, she warned, the fabric can become misshapen.

Jeans should not be worn two days in a row because the fibers need time to recover. You wear them one day, leave them to rest the next, and then you can wear them again the following day. Otherwise, you deform them.

· Lucía Ruiz de AguirreThe designer explained why denim should rest between wears.

The designer said denim needs about 24 hours to recover its original structure. The same principle applies to other fabrics that require specific care, a process known as textile memory. When tension continues without time for recovery, jeans can begin to stretch too much, lose their fit and stop looking as they did when new.

The lifestyle magazine Clara also identified frequent washing as another factor that can accelerate denim wear. Excessive laundering can damage the fabric. A good pair of jeans, handled with the right care, can last for several years, and its timeless nature means it can continue to work with different styles.

A pair of jeans needs 24 hours.
