"   Anderson Cooper kills it in his custom suits, but in his down time he wears a uniform of T-shirts and a pair of jeans he only washes four times a year. &amp;quot;Literally, the same pair of jeans every day,&amp;quot; he told co-host Stacy London on Anderson Live Thursday, adding that he only washes the denim &amp;quot;maybe twice in six months.&amp;quot; The What Not to Wear host balked at Cooper&amp;#039;s approach to denim care, but we think he&amp;#039;s on to something here. Jeans are meant to hold up for a long time, so we don&amp;#039;t need to wash them after every wear\u2014especially if you want to keep the denim dark.  We&amp;#039;d say you should only wash them when they start to smell funky\u2014probably after a couple of weeks for every day type jeans.  Dressy jeans can go a lot longer in between washing\u2014especially if you only wear them once every couple of weeks. If that&amp;#039;s the case, you probably only need to clean them once every few months. The pros over at Denim Therapy also recommend only washing your jeans in Woolite when you do need to clean them.  Tell us: How often do you wash your jeans? Want more from Meagan?
