How many bras should a woman own?

Most women need 7-10 bras for a well-rounded wardrobe. This includes 3-4 everyday T-shirt bras, 1-2 specialty bras, 1-2 sports bras, and 1-2 lingerie or occasion bras.

How often should I replace my bras?

Replace bras every 6-12 months depending on wear frequency. A bra worn twice a week typically lasts about 8-10 months. Signs of wear include stretched bands, loose elastics, and pilling fabric.

Can I wear the same bra two days in a row?

It is better to let elastics rest for 24-48 hours between wears to regain their shape. Rotating between 3-4 everyday bras extends their lifespan significantly compared to wearing the same bra daily.

What is the most versatile bra type to own?

A seamless T-shirt bra in a neutral color (nude, black, gray) is the most versatile. It works under most clothing, provides a smooth silhouette, and pairs with both casual and professional outfits.
