Good American

Wash inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle and wash it as rarely as the wear allows, since heat and agitation are what break down elastane. Skip fabric softener entirely, because it coats the fibre and kills the snap-back. Hang or lay flat to dry rather than tumbling hot, which is the fastest way to lose both shape and stretch. If a pair has gone slack, a cool wash usually restores it.

The shape is set by the pattern, so a named fit keeps its proportions from one wash to the next, but the finish changes how those proportions read. A dark, even indigo holds a clean line down the leg. A lighter or more faded wash draws the eye across the leg and reads more relaxed, and whiskering or fading at the thigh and knee adds contrast where the fabric moves most. Choose the shape first, then the wash.
