Which button to fasten a jacket with two or three buttons?

Today we will understand the intricacies of men's etiquette, namely, what button to fasten a jacket with. First, the answer.

Single breasted jacket:

with one button - always fasten;
with two buttons - always fasten the top one, always unbutton the bottom one;
with three - always fasten the middle button, always unbutton the bottom one. There are no strict rules regarding the top one.

Double-breasted jacket (with two rows of buttons) - should be buttoned completely. However, over the past couple of decades, fashionistas have been gradually setting a new tone - sometimes unbuttoning the bottom right button on the front row. Perhaps this innovation will soon join the official list of etiquette rules.

Below we will discuss the topic in more detail. Let's find out who came up with these rules and why, why the bottom button of a jacket is not fastened, and in what cases etiquette is allowed to be violated.

How to Wear a Two-Button Blazer

So, as we have already said, some fasteners on the product do not fulfill their functional purpose and are intended only for decoration. In particular, we are talking about the bottom button.

Remember: it always remains unbuttoned.

However, there are exceptions:

If the style of the product has long lapels, on the contrary, the bottom button is fastened and the top button is unbuttoned. This is done for convenience, because when the top fastener is closed, the lapels will begin to curl and the item will not fit correctly;
The jacket should not greatly expose the waist and belt. Only slight flickering in the cutout is allowed. Therefore, etiquette allows very tall men to fasten all the buttons. That's why sometimes a jacket is buttoned with more than just the top button.

How to wear a jacket with two buttons? Practice “button” etiquette when walking or standing. If you decide to sit down, you can unfasten the top clasp for convenience. That's all the nuances.

How to fasten a vest

What rules apply to the vest? Everything here is also quite trivial. There is no need to fasten the bottom button. It doesn't matter whether it's a formal vest from a three-piece suit or a loose casual style. In the latter case, you can also unbutton the top button for symmetry.

How to wear the 3-clasp model

Next, we’ll look at how to properly button a jacket with 3 buttons. Now, it would seem, there is a clasp! There is also a loop under it. So why not button it up? But no, in order not to get into trouble and not be considered a hillbilly in fashionable society, we recommend remembering how many buttons to fasten such a jacket:

They come from the top, depending on the situation;
The middle one should always be fastened;
Leave the bottom one unbuttoned.

In a business environment, at official meetings and events, the first two buttons should be fastened. In a more informal setting, the top one can be opened. But with regard to the bottom, the rule is unchanged - do not touch. If a person sits down, the product can be temporarily completely unfastened.

How to wear double-breasted models?

Double-breasted items (with overlapping sides) are less popular than single-breasted ones, but they are also worn for both formal and informal events.

If you carefully read the material above, you have learned the categorical requirements for the bottom button on a single-breasted model - it is almost never fastened.

However, in relation to a double-breasted item, the question “is it possible to fasten the bottom button on a jacket” sounds quite appropriate. According to etiquette, such a thing is worn completely buttoned, no matter how many fasteners there are on it.

But, as we already wrote above, today the far right one at the bottom can be unfastened. Perhaps you shouldn't go to a royal reception like that, but at a fashionable party no one will judge you.

Two buttons

You're walking on thin ice

If you imagine how your imaginary internal parking sensor would react to each unbuttoned button of your shirt, then after two unbuttoned buttons it would insistently advise you to stop. Two buttons can be worn at a party, dinner with friends or a date - that is, almost anywhere where you need to look cool and be relaxed at the same time. Strict white shirts may be regarded as unceremonious in this way, but don’t hesitate to wear bright models this way.

Where did the fashion of leaving the bottom button undone come from?

The world owes this rule to King Edward VII of Great Britain and Ireland, who sat on the throne at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. According to historical records, he was a rather overweight man and loved to eat.

As usual, the royal wardrobe was made to order by the best tailors in Europe. And so, when one day the next jacket was delivered to him, it did not fit on his stomach. I had to open the bottom clasp. Edward did not remake the product, and began to wear it this way, appreciating the advantage and comfort. He also began to unbutton the bottom clasp on all other jackets and frock coats, especially after a heavy meal.

Soon all the courtiers and associates followed his example. Gradually, all the nobility began to wear clothes in the royal manner. And soon the whole world began to fasten the buttons on a man’s jacket just like King Edward.

Thus, the passion for excessive gluttony 120 years ago became the reason for the strict rules of modern etiquette.

Why is the bottom button undone today?

So, now you know how to properly button a jacket with two, three and one buttons. We got acquainted with the interesting history of the appearance of these rules. But why do they still exist? Do men really unbutton the bottom button just to give more freedom to their tummy? Of course not.

Nowadays, jacket buttons should be fastened the way Edward VII once designed them, for the following reasons:

To emphasize that the person knows etiquette. A man who understands which button on a jacket is fastened and which is undone is a priori considered educated, well-mannered and cultured. In other words, the “button theme” helps to form the right image and noble reputation.
To show commitment to fashion trends and demonstrate the features of your style. Fashion, as you know, does not stand still. Who knows what she will “come up with” tomorrow. A person who “keeps up with her” is well perceived by society.
Agree, it's convenient. It is comfortable to sit, walk and, in general, move around with the bottom button undone.
Also, if the bottom button were constantly kept fastened, the fabric in this place would stretch and wear out faster.
And lastly: a person in a jacket fastened with all the fasteners visually looks fuller.

Jacket or jacket – what to choose?

Every woman wants to look special, and the fairer sex has all the possibilities for this - a woman’s wardrobe includes millions of options, accessories, items that men have never dreamed of. To be beautiful, you just need to be born a woman - the fashion industry will do the rest for you.

Today we will talk about jackets and blazers, which confidently hold a leading position not only in the fashion industry, but also in a separate closet.

No matter what kind of look you create, casual or formal, you can’t do without a jacket

2021 will be rich in styles, textures and colors; the choice of jackets will be truly huge. But before we tell you what jackets and jackets for women will be in fashion in 2021, let’s remember how a jacket differs from a jacket and what types of jackets are the most popular.

A modern jacket is a wardrobe item not only for men, but also for women. Some people believe that in the “women’s world” there are only jackets, and a jacket is just another name for it, while others are sure that there is a huge difference between a jacket and a jacket. Who is right? And those and others.

A jacket is one of the variations of a jacket, so you won’t be wrong if you call it a jacket, but not every jacket can be called a jacket. The difference between them is very easy to see:

Usually the jacket has a lining, and the jacket is sewn without it;
The jacket is shorter than the jacket, most often waist-length;
The jacket is more reminiscent of a man's wardrobe item; it has a classic straight cut and pockets;
The jacket looks feminine, it uses pockets instead of pockets, and the cut emphasizes the figure.

Thus, a women's jacket is usually understood as a straight-cut jacket that has a turn-down collar and buttons. The jacket can be either single-breasted or double-breasted. The jacket looks like a shortened jacket with a stand-up jacket or no collar at all.

Many experts, including the famous fashion designer and fashion historian Alexander Vasiliev, are of the opinion that women can only have jackets (even if they look like a jacket), and jackets are a men’s wardrobe item.

Is it appropriate to not button up at all?

Well, we found out how many buttons a man's jacket is fastened with, what to do with each of the fasteners, in what cases you can deviate from the rules, and also who originally came up with all this.

Is it possible to wear this item of clothing without fastening it at all? Of course yes. Moreover, there are models without fasteners. However, they are only suitable for an informal, everyday style. Most often, such models are made of cotton or linen and belong to the summer wardrobe. They perfectly complete a loose and light look, harmonizing perfectly with jeans, trousers, and shorts.

Official etiquette requires a mandatory classic single-breasted or double-breasted men's jacket, and its owner must clearly know which buttons to fasten the latter with.

We've reached the finale. To briefly summarize the above, the whole essence of the article comes down to one single question: whether the bottom button of the jacket is fastened. If there is more than one fastener, it is not fastened. Just remember this rule, and you definitely won’t get into trouble!

Buttons on complementary details of the jacket

Buttons can also be seen on the sleeves and pockets. There are no special restrictions here. If your jacket has a breast pocket and you don't use it, then it's better to keep it closed.

Some jackets do not have plackets on the sleeves, and the buttons in this case act only as decoration.

Many men like to show off their ideal sense of style and financial situation. That is why they purchase expensive accessories that complement the image and help draw attention to themselves. Cufflinks on a shirt are also one of these “things.” To show off their beauty, it is definitely worth leaving the sleeves of the jacket unbuttoned.

Pockets are found on many wardrobe items. It's quite convenient. Some jackets also have them. And here the question of buttons arises again. However, here everything is not so complicated, since the decisive factor is the desire of the man: if he wants, he fastens, but if he doesn’t want, he doesn’t.

Double-breasted jacket: wearing rules

Unlike the single-breasted version, this model is fastened with all buttons. However, recently it is quite possible to use this method when the bottom right button can be left undone. There are also some jacket models that have six or more buttons, the top of which are too high and cannot be buttoned.

Types of jackets and rules for wearing them

All jackets for a business suit are divided into two basic types:

Single-breasted - has only one row of vertical buttons;
Double-breasted - buttons are arranged in two rows.

The number of buttons in a row on such jackets can vary from one to four. The most common of them are with two and three pieces.
