Wouldn’t life be so much easier if we could wear the same exact thing every day? I don’t mean in the sense of a uniform, I’m talking physically wearing the same exact garments every day. From a hygiene standpoint, it’s not exactly sanitary to wear the same clothes every day. From a fashion standpoint, most people see this as a serious faux pas. Here are two items you most definitely should wear with at least a day in between.
Bras: I’m not sure if women know this or not, but you shouldn’t wear the same bra day after day. Bras need at least one day in between to rest, so to speak. After wearing a bra all day long, the elastic is stretched out so it needs time to recover and get back into place. If you wear the same bra every day, the elastic will never get a chance to tighten back up so you’ll stretch it out pretty fast. Alternate different bras each day or invest in multiple bras to wear them every few days.
Shoes: There are tons and tons of people out there who own one pair of shoes and wear them into the ground. However, it’s best if you don’t wear the same pair of shoes every day. Much like bras, shoes need time to recover and so do your feet! By wearing the same pair or same style of shoes every day, you’re putting “repeated pressure on identical areas of the foot” according to Jaleh Hoofar, doctor of podiatric medicine.
