Have you ever wondered why men sometimes leave the bottom button of their blazer undone? Or why some pants have a crease? I certainly did! I always thought it was just a style quirk, but recently I stumbled upon some really interesting insights that completely changed how I view men's fashion. Let me share my journey of discovery with you.
It all started when I was getting ready for a business casual event. I was buttoning up my partner's blazer and noticed he always skipped the bottom button. I asked him why, and he shrugged it off as "that's just how it's done." But I'm a curious person, so I decided to dig a little deeper. What I found was a fascinating history and set of unspoken rules!
I learned that the reason men don't button the bottom button on their blazers is rooted in tradition and practicality. Apparently, it's generally accepted that you only unbutton the lower button when you sit down, then button it back up when you stand. This prevents the blazer from bunching up and looking awkward. I never knew! It’s all about comfort and maintaining a sharp look.
And it's not just any button. It’s the bottom button on multi-button jackets. The rules vary depending on how many buttons the jacket has. A single-button jacket? Button it. Two-button jacket? Button the top one. Three-button jacket? Always button the middle, and sometimes the top. But never, ever the bottom!
I even read a funny anecdote about how creased pants became fashionable. Apparently, some royal was in a hurry to play cricket, bought some pants that were folded, and boom – creased pants became a trend! Fashion is so arbitrary sometimes.
Inspired by all this blazer button knowledge, I started looking for a stylish, versatile blazer that my partner could wear for different occasions. I wanted something that was both professional and comfortable. That's when I stumbled upon the Bella 2022 Orange Solid Short Sleeve Blazer Jacket. It looked perfect for adding a touch of elegance to a casual outfit. Plus, the short sleeves made it ideal for warmer weather. It's definitely a statement piece.
I loved that it was described as "thin femme casual elegant vintage OL outwears all match coats retro tops". I thought the orange color would be a fun way to add some personality to his wardrobe. Although he leans towards more traditional colors, I thought a pop of color would be a great update. He actually really liked it!
The key is to find a blazer that fits well and complements your body type. And remember the golden rule: leave that bottom button undone!
