The general recommendation is to own between 7 to 10 bras , which usually includes a mix of 3-5 everyday bras, 2-3 sports bras, and 1-2 specialty bras for special occasions. The exact number depends on lifestyle, laundry habits, wardrobe style, and activity levels. For example:
- If laundry is done weekly, having 7-10 bras allows for rotation and longevity.
- If the wardrobe favors fitted tops, more T-shirt bras might be necessary.
- Active individuals may need 2-3 sports bras for support.
- Minimalists might aim for 5-7 bras focusing on versatility.
At a minimum, owning at least 2 well-fitting everyday bras is advised, increasing if one exercises regularly or dresses up often. Rotating bras is beneficial to maintain support and comfort over time.
