3 Button rule
The rule is; sometimes, always, never! It works like this: sometimes button the top button, always button the middle button and never button the bottom button!
Is it OK to wear a 3 button suit?
Of course it is ok to wear a three-button suit. You know that the most common choice is the 2 button choice but the 3 button is as stylish as the other one. It is just a matter of liking and to take into account that a 3 button suit will make you look taller.
When should you wear a 3 button suit?
You know you look good in a 3 button suit, then choose it and enjoy a suit with an extra button, a short lapel and a nice visual effect, especially if you are not really tall. After this, if you still have doubts, choose a 2 buttons suit jacket. The second most important thing about dressing is self-confidence. What is the first? The fitting.
What buttons do you button on a 3 button suit?
On a three-button suit you should button the top 2 buttons of the jacket. So, leave the bottom one unbuttoned ALWAYS. And remember, unbutton all 3 buttons when sitting down.
Can you turn a 3 button suit into a 2 button?
It will not be easy and there is no reason to do it. The lapel will look short and bad proportioned. We don't recommend it.
