Empowering Women: Free Bras, Clothing, and Career Workshops for Women’s History Month

In honor of National Smart & Sexy Day and Women’s History Month, women throughout the Philadelphia area are invited to receive complimentary Smart & Sexy bras and a selection of professional or casual clothing.

On Thursday, March 27, The Wardrobe will host a series of Open Wardrobe education and clothing events at five locations: Philadelphia, Upper Darby, Chester, Exton, and Kennett Square. Sponsored by National Smart & Sexy Day and the Alliance of Career Development Nonprofits (ACDN), these gatherings celebrate Women’s History Month by offering essential resources and support to women in the community.

Participants will have the opportunity to enjoy a free bra fitting, receive a Smart & Sexy bra, and select professional or casual attire. Certain locations will also host special seminars. Women are encouraged to RSVP online to reserve their spot.

This year’s theme, “The Power of And,” celebrates the limitless potential of women, recognizing their roles as leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators, caregivers, creators, and change-makers—all without boundaries.
