How to fade black jeans?

So I bought this plain black pair of Levi 501s that fit rally nicely. The only problem is that the black is a little too black - I know that sounds stupid - which creates more contrast than I would like. Would it be possible for me to make them a few shades lighter? I really like how the black jeans in this photo look like. Here's the link to the tiktok for a better look: https://www.tiktok.com/@edgyalbert/video/7031247585637698822?q=best%20jeans%20edgy%20albert&t=1711109115493 Thanks πŸ™‚

I dunno...you can get some ideas if you Google "how to fade jeans". But personally I'd just wear them a lot and wash them regularly.

Yeah fading like that comes from years of wear. If you want that look now buy a used pair. https://www.ebay.com/itm/156030880006?

or maybe get the jeans that are already in the wash/shade that you like? it wouldnt necessarily have to be a used pair most black jeans ive owned were slow faders so it'd take a while to get them to naturally fade i've actually got two pairs in my closet now that are like 4-5 years old and they both still look new

might just be me but i think a lot of washed black denim looks kinda bad and artificial. it's way harder to fake than indigo in my experience. i'd just look for a vintage pair, you can usually find a cheap one if you wait

Make sure to machine wash black denim inside out though, sometimes they end up oddly marbled when machine washed otherwise.

using the gentle setting and/or skipping the spin cycle also helps prevent the marbling. that goes for raws too

No I totally agree, I’m impatient and don’t want to wait for my jeans to naturally fade
