If you notice sharply, after every wash the shade of your clothes get dull and the colour starts fading as you use them regularly. Though you can't maintain the essence of the clothes for life long, you can at least take some elaborate steps to avoid colour fading. And, among all, men's clothes are vulnerable to this.
In order to maintain the colour and essence of men's apparel, you can simply follow few tips. And they are:
Do not launder often 
If you launder the clothes every now and then, the colour will surely start fading soon. It is rather advisable to wash the clothes when needed.

Don't be harsh on clothes 
If your mood is upset, you don't have to remove your anger on the clothes. Especially, if you are washing the clothes by hands, you should always be gentle. Being harsh on them can fade out the colour and sometimes tear the shirt/ T-shirt.

Wash dark colour clothes together 
In order to retain the colour of your clothes, it is good to wash all the dark clothes separately. They tend to fade off the colour easily and might smear on light coloured clothes.

Fold or Hang your clothes 
There are some clothes which don't need to be folded and some which are designed to be hanged on a hanger. You should always take care of this. Also, the clothes which you don't wear often are better to be placed in the cupboard, wrapped up meticulously.

Add vinegar!!! 
Yeah! You heard it right. Though you might not like the smell of the vinegar, it surely helps in preventing the colours to fade away. And, what you'll like is that the smell of vinegar also goes away as you wash them!

Do not over dry the clothes

Avoid drying in sun 
If possible you should try and avoid drying the clothes under the sun as it can bleach the fabric. Especially, the clothes which are very slick, you have to take special care of them.
