Gigi Deveraux I asked my mother about this one. She asked if your shorts are cutoffs. I didn't know so I said "tell me about both." Her answers: For the cutoffs, if you have a sewing machine, or know someone who sews, stitch ribbon along the inside edge of the leg openings, one line of stitching on either edge if it's a wider ribbon, or a wide zigzag stitch for a narrower ribbon. That will stabilize the weave and keep them from fraying any further.
If they're not cutoffs, the hem stitching will keep them from fraying hhigher than the stitch line, but you can't really do anything about the lower edge itself if it's already worn. That hidden ribbon thing is a good idea. o 0o I'll have to remember that one.
@OP: As for keeping colors from fading, washing in cold water instead of warm or hot can help keep colors brighter. Air drying also helps, if you've got the space for it.
Turning tshirts inside out when washing can help keep decals and such in better condition, and turning jeans inside out can help them keep some color. (Some jeans are loaded with dye when you first buy them and will turn things blue if you're not careful about what you wash them with, so sometimes I'll wash old jeans with the new, in hopes that some of the blue will seep into the faded pairs. XD )
