In this article we will talk about:
If in the previous post we talked about choosing between a tie and a bow tie, today we will talk about how to fasten the buttons on a suit jacket and a vest.
There are a few essential rules when wearing a suit jacket and a vest, one of which refers to fastening the buttons.
How do we fasten the buttons on a classic suit jacket?
When it comes to fastening the buttons on a suit jacket, there is a general rule: the last button on the suit jacket must always be left undone.
When we say the last button, we mean the first button from the belt buckle towards the chin.
Fastening the buttons on a suit jacket also depends on the number of buttons on the jacket.
In contemporary society, we find suit jackets that have a single button, up to three buttons, but we also find suit jackets that have six buttons arranged in two rows.
The rule also applies to a double-breasted suit jacket
In the case of a suit jacket with a single button, only that single button will be fastened, and if we have a double-breasted suit jacket, the same rule will apply: the last functional button will remain undone.
A suit jacket with two buttons, following the general rule, will be worn with the last button undone, and the next button, the first one, fastened.
A suit jacket with three buttons can be worn in two ways: with the last button undone and the first two fastened; with the last button undone, the middle button fastened, and the first button undone, not for no reason but because it is more elegant, more stylish.
The same rules for fastening buttons also apply to the vest.
If the last button of the vest is undone, the belt, which in turn is an important accessory, will stand out.
