faded clothes
Sun-bleached wardrobe items
Faded clothes have lost their original color intensity through washing, sun exposure, or wear.
The fading may be intentional—jeans are often sold pre-faded for a worn-in look—or a sign of age and use: She still wore her faded college sweatshirt.
Faded suggests something past its prime but often comfortable and familiar.
