Dye it!
Every year I have to buy a new pair of black linen trousers from Next at the pair from the year before has faded, whilst my white ones go on and on.
I went to buy a pair and at £20.00 each I think they are a bargain as I wear them all the time when I briefly told my story to the cashier and she suggested dying my old pairs. I have two pairs one my sister gave me last year and a pair I bought.
I bought some Dylon in Black and hooray back to black. So next year I may save myself £20.00. I know perhaps I neednt have bought the pair I did buy but as I say I live in them in the summer when not in shorts etc.
I do not think I used the exact product above and I did have to add 500g of salt. I should have also got rid of the scale in the WM as that was the only problem in relation to cleaning afterwards. The recommend you run an empty wash afterwards.

I am sure I read somewhere that if you then wash them with just a cup of white vinegar, that helps set the black dye even more.
