Short answer. Dark Navy fades when you cook it: hot water, high dryer, and mixed loads.

- Turn Dark Navy pieces inside out.
- Cold water, gentle cycle, darks with darks.
- Low heat or hang. High heat is how black and Dark Navy both go tired.

If the color already looks tired
Retire that set to charting days and buy a fresh Dark Navy in the silhouette you actually wear — Classic, Jumpsuit, or Fashion Flare.
