Streetwear isn’t just about looking fresh — it’s about investing in quality pieces that stand the test of time. At Street IQ, we know how important it is to keep your favorite hoodies, tees, and pants looking brand new for as long as possible.
Here’s your ultimate guide to caring for streetwear so you can keep your style sharp and your wardrobe sustainable.
1. Wash with Care
Streetwear often features bold prints and delicate fabrics, so washing properly is key. Turn your clothes inside out and use cold water to preserve colors and prevent fading. Avoid harsh detergents and opt for gentle, color-safe formulas.
2. Skip the Dryer
Heat is a streetwear’s enemy. Instead of tossing your clothes in the dryer, air dry them flat or hang them up. This prevents shrinking and keeps fabrics soft and breathable.
3. Avoid Overwashing
You don’t need to wash every wear — spot clean when possible and only wash when necessary. Overwashing can weaken fabric fibers and dull graphics.
4. Store Smartly
Fold your hoodies and tees neatly or hang them on wide, sturdy hangers. Avoid overcrowding your closet to prevent wrinkles and stretching.
5. Repair and Refresh
Don’t toss damaged pieces right away. Small repairs, like sewing loose threads or patching holes, extend the life of your clothes. Refresh colors with fabric-safe dyes or specialized detergents when needed.
Why Caring for Your Streetwear Matters
Proper care means your Street IQ gear stays vibrant, comfortable, and durable — saving you money and reducing waste. Plus, it keeps you looking sharp, no matter how often you wear your favorite pieces.
