Right Vs Wrong Way To Button Your Blazer

Rules for buttoning suits?

Why?

It sounds ridiculous right?

Well if you look at history it makes sense. 

One man’s style faux pas ironically became a suit buttoning standard.

Edward VII.

An overweight king who couldn’t fully close his jacket or waistcoat and as a result always left the bottom button undone.

His subjects (either out of respect or fear), followed suit. The trend of leaving the bottom button undone caught on.

And today, we have a whole industry that now designs suits for this purpose.

What are the rules on buttoning a suit?

Are these rules antiquated/useless? 

Why even care about suit buttoning rules?

You’ll see below why it makes sense to follow the rules long after King Edward’s 48-inches waistline set the stage.
