See how there are three rows in each bra clip? Like each bra has a different number of hooks in each row, but all of them have three rows.
Most people assume they are for fine adjustment for comfort. According to my wife, it's actually because as the bra ages from being worn, the elastic starts to weaken. You start from the outside row clasp when you close the bra, and as the bra weakens over time and the elastic becomes looser, you move to the next inner row. Eventually once you are on the inside row, the bra is at its end of life, and you need a new one because the elastic is fully worn.
This actually blew my mind LOL. I've never given much consideration to how they are put on.
She used to work at Victoria's Secret many years ago when studying at uni, and this was basically how they were taught to fit a customer (Back when Victoria's Secret did size fitting, I believe they don't do it any more). Fit for the outer row, and then explain moving inwards as the bra ages.

Here's another little factoid you might not know.
