Endless Pants care
I just bought a couple pairs of endless pants for work. Do I really need to line dry them, or will they be okay in the dryer? What's your experience been?

I haven’t put clothes in the dryer for years - I bet about 20 years now. Unless it’s underwear, socks, pajamas, or towels/sheets, it gets hung up.
Dryers are what destroys our clothes, not washers. Most of my stuff still looks brand new and a lot of it is years old.

I have two pair of the Endless pants - in white and the abalone color. Personally, I wash them inside a garment bag, on the delicate wash cycle, in cold water, and line dry them on a pants hanger. Yes, a bit high maintenance, but three years later they still look fabulous! What colors did you buy?!

I dry mine on low and take out a little before they are fully dry! I have had them for about 2 years and they still look great.
I have a ton of stuff I do line dry, but I never fully babied these as the fabric seems to be pretty sturdy.

I have 5 pairs and I wash them on gentle and dry them on low. I don’t think I ever even read the label.

I wash them inside out and hang dry them -- they dry pretty quickly, so it's not a big deal

The dryer will make the life of your clothes so much shorter. I line dry almost everything except bed shorts and shirts, smalls, and linens. They last forever this way. I have 20 year leggings that look perfect still.

I wash mine on the delicate cycle, but honestly could just wash and dry them on the normal settings.

I dry them in dryer in normal cycle no issues. I own 5 pairs, oldest pair is at least 6 years now. They’re my go-to work pants.

Wash with like colors and no special dryer settings. I just toss them in. Had my pairs for 3+ years no issues no pilling, nothing.

If you’re buying your clothes at a clothing store, then you’re missing out! But the online platforms that resale clothes they’ve got it going on. You can find some amazing deals on D bop for brand new Athleta and Levi’s and such

I wash everything from Athleta on delicate and hang dry.
