More often than not I'm washing more due to the denim stretching across the wears. Of course if I've gotten anything on them I pop them in the washer with some bleach or oxyclean right after that wear, but it doesn't happen as often as I thought it would. I second IK's notion of checking the back, that gets dirtier more quickly&nbsp;than the front for me (I guess I sit on weird things?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim--dirt-magnet#post-1281526 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 21:37:36 +0000 Eliza 1281526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty blessed with my white jeans experience. &nbsp;3-4 wears usually before I need &nbsp;to wash them. &nbsp;But a lot depends on circumstances. &nbsp;I put on a new pair of white linen pants today and somehow was spotted before arriving at my destination. &nbsp;Bumped something along the way. &nbsp;</p> <p>Still a happy wearer of white.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim--dirt-magnet#post-1281506 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 21:17:18 +0000 Jenny H 1281506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. Thanks for this post. I hope I don't gross anyone out, but my life requires my bottoms be worn more than 2-3 times between washing. This confirms my theory that white bottoms are not for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim--dirt-magnet#post-1281501 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 21:10:06 +0000 merwoman 1281501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Flares - wash after every outing</p> <p>Boot cuts - generally 2-3 wears.</p> <p>Take the plunge, you'll love them!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim--dirt-magnet#post-1281494 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 21:01:36 +0000 Gracie 1281494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two wears, usually.

I worried about tea and coffee stains but they come out. The pup doesn't jump on people or it would be different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim--dirt-magnet#post-1281452 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 19:59:00 +0000 Mia 1281452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can get 3-4 wears sometimes but I no longer have a small child&nbsp;and our only pet is a hamster. &nbsp;They do, of course, require fairly frequent washing so they don't last as long as some garments. &nbsp;My current ones from J. Crew have some stretch although I do not wear them tight and they hold their shape nicely. &nbsp;My last pair from BR needed washing more often to look "crisp".</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim--dirt-magnet#post-1281449 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 19:33:40 +0000 Gigi 1281449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm generally pretty clumsy and get some kind of food on mine. So, one to two wears. I agree with the commenters who said that washing frequently keeps them looking crisp and clean. I also agree that they wash up nicely. I have a stain stick from Ecover, and when I take my jeans off for the day, if I see any specks of crud, I moisten the spots and treat them with the stain stick, and they come right out.</p> <p>If you want to try white jeans, find yourself a cheaper pair and see how they work for you. That way, if you find it a pain, you're not out much. American Eagle has very reasonably priced white jeans, though I think they are jeggings, so they will be superskinny. But they are definitely jeans and not leggings. Loft and Ann Taylor also have&nbsp;been running some end-of-season sales where you can get a good deal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim--dirt-magnet#post-1281444 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 19:20:00 +0000 Mo 1281444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really depends on activities at hand. &nbsp;2 or 3 wears if I'm just going neat and tidy places &nbsp;But they do wash up fine when things happen (wine tasting red dribbles) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim--dirt-magnet#post-1281443 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 19:15:51 +0000 Susie 1281443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always wash my white jeans after 1 wear so that they appear more crisp.&nbsp; With regular denim, I will wear them more than once or toss them in the dryer damp for a few minutes if they are wrinkled but I don't like to do that with white ones, in case there is a spot on them. I wear them frequently so I have several pairs. That way I always have a pair available to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim--dirt-magnet#post-1281428 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 18:55:05 +0000 carambola 1281428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in the 1-2 wears camp, but my daily life involves public transportation, city walking, and 2 little ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim--dirt-magnet#post-1281427 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 18:54:41 +0000 Anonymous 1281427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One wear....that is why I buy cheap &amp; duplicate:</p> <p><a href="http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1650206/elle-cuffed-denim-capris-womens.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.kohls.com/product/p.....womens.jsp</a></p> <p>Everything I do as a MOTG makes my clothes dirty plus I am a klutz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim--dirt-magnet#post-1281422 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 18:44:37 +0000 Ornella 1281422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3-4x at least&nbsp;and I walk, ride&nbsp;a bike, ride on a&nbsp;bus, even climb on the rooftops :-D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim--dirt-magnet#post-1281418 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 18:39:24 +0000 Janet 1281418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, some of you are getting 3-4 wears before washing?

I learned that one the hard way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim--dirt-magnet#post-1281338 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 17:32:20 +0000 Suja 1281338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was worried about this before taking the white jeans plunge. &nbsp;2-3 wears for me. &nbsp;Sometimes dark knits leave fuzz on them but that can be brushed off with a lint brush. &nbsp;So far, I haven't managed to stain them which was my biggest concern. &nbsp;I duplicated mine because there were so many times when I wanted to wear them and they were in the laundry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim--dirt-magnet#post-1281337 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 17:31:25 +0000 SandyG 1281337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To be real, plan on one wear to look fresh and clean.&nbsp;A second wear is pure summer bonus. Duplication makes sense here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim--dirt-magnet#post-1281320 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 17:22:29 +0000 Suz 1281320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What kkards said...and of course it does depend on what I am doing.

Since they're easy to wash and I don't wear them every day, I don't feel like it's a big deal.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim--dirt-magnet#post-1281259 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 16:37:18 +0000 gradfashionista 1281259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How quickly do white jeans get dirty, compared to your regular jeans? I want to take the plunge and get a pair of white lightweight skinnies for the summer, but the dirt factor is holding me back. </p>
