Lucía Ruiz de Aguirre, designer and weaver: “Jeans should not be worn two days in a row because the fibers need recovery time"

Jeans (or jeans) hold a unique title in the textile industry: they are the only garment that never goes out of style. What began in 1873 as an ultra-durable work tarp with copper rivets for the miners of the American Gold Rush, designed by Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis, has evolved into the biggest cultural and democratic icon of the global wardrobe (and not missing from any capsule wardrobe).

Nowadays jeans break any social etiquette. The same pants work in an informal environment, and, for example, combined with a black blazer and high heels, they transform into an impeccable office style. Its silhouette is reinvented season after season: from the return of the controversial skinny jeans to the reign of the always elegant straight cuts, to the oversized, barrel structures or the retro-inspired patterns. It is the ultimate blank canvas.

Getting the best-fitting women's jeans is not an easy task, which is why many times, when we find the perfect design, we don't want to take it off. However, we have bad news. Committing this very common gesture could be ruining your favorite jeans prematurely.

The designer Lucía Ruiz de Aguirre (@luymou), has revealed during a talk on TikTok with the sustainable fashion expert @Martina_lubian the definitive reason why your jeans They need a mandatory day of rest if you don't want them to be deformed forever. If a day of recovery is not allowed between each laying, its fibers become irremediably deformed.

“Jeans are not worn two days in a row because the fibers need recovery time. We can have three jeans and that wastes a lot of time, but we do respect the fiber recovery. A jean needs 24 hours. You wear it one day, let it rest another day and the next day you can put it on again. If not, you deform them,” he warns.

Once this is known, we choose five trendy jeans this fall 2026 with which to dress with style, but which will allow us to leave a day or even many more between each wear, so that their fibers recover.
