How Many Bras Should You Really Own For Everyday Wear?

While some may say you can never have too many pretty things in your lingerie drawer, there are really only three bras you need to go with your everyday clothes: one black, one white, and one flesh-toned bra. 

The black bra is to wear under your dark dresses and shirts while the white bra will work under lighter colors. The flesh-toned bra is for your white tops. If you wear a white bra under a sheer white top, its outline will be visible whereas a bra in the same color as your skin will vanish, hiding such bra lines. 

You could technically get away with wearing just a flesh-toned bra every day, but you'll still need multiple. You don't have to wash a bra every time you wear it, but you should avoid wearing the same one two days in a row. You want to give the elastic in the bra a chance to un-stretch and regain its shape, helping you maintain yours. One day of rest between wearings should do it — hence, why you need more than one.
