I just use a clothes dryer on low or, sometimes, even extra low. There’s an even an air-dry option that works better than just leaving things to hang.
This goes especially for humid climates. My stuff would never in the summer and even in the winter it would take a long time. The button-ups and pants that I do hang to dry take forever to be ready.
The heat, as @87Six@lemmy.zip already mentioned, won’t help - not to mention the inside of some dryers can have a cheese grater effect on the clothing tumbling around inside of it.
I buy mostly Dutch and Belgian brands from a local store. For example brands like Soci3ty, Zilton, Blue Industry.
You can probably do the same near your location, find some local qualitative brands. Usually these are too small to gamble with questionable quality, so they will usually ensure higher quality standards than the mass producers. Meanwhile you also support some local businesses, which is nice in this day and age.
Real rule:
You can drop them all together, coz all clothes are so low quality, those won’t last long enough to lost colors during mixed washings.
Me who wears clothes that are 12+ years old:
also don’t use a clothes dryer and your stuff will last way longer

Why do dryers lower the lifespan of clothing?

Thx for the explanation
Afaik heat doesn’t really do good to textiles in general
Some additions.
You can mix colors, just don’t add white clothes, especially when the color clothes are new.
Then there is someone like me that still wears 5 to 10 year old clothes that still look fresh 🙈
where did you buy them?
