How to button Suits and Tuxedos?
Knowing how to button your suit or tuxedo can make a big difference in your overall appearance. Here's a guide on how to properly button your suit or tuxedo:
-
One-Button Suit or Tuxedo: If your suit or tuxedo has only one button, it should always be buttoned when standing. When sitting, unbutton the jacket to avoid stretching or creasing the fabric.
-
Two-Button Suit or Tuxedo: For a two-button suit or tuxedo, only the top button should be buttoned when standing. When sitting, unbutton the jacket to avoid creasing the fabric.
-
Three-Button Suit or Tuxedo: When it comes to a three-button suit or tuxedo, the rule is "sometimes, always, never". This means you should sometimes button the top button, always button the middle button, and never button the bottom button.
-
Double-Breasted Suit or Tuxedo: With a double-breasted suit or tuxedo, all buttons should be fastened when standing. When sitting, you can unbutton the jacket if you wish.
-
Vest: If you're wearing a vest, the bottom button should always be left unbuttoned. This allows for ease of movement and prevents the vest from pulling too tightly.
Remember, these guidelines are just general rules and can vary depending on personal preference and body type. The most important thing is to make sure your suit or tuxedo fits well and you feel comfortable and confident in it.
