TWO-BUTTON SUITS
If you didn’t already know, yes, there are rules to buttoning a suit jacket. Though these are only guidelines, they are essential if you want to look your best.😁
For decades, the 2-button suit has been the international standard, making it the traditional default button stance. The top button (the only one you should fasten) should be just above your navel. Button placement that appears too low (as in the early 1990s) appears dated.
The two buttons fall lower on the jacket, forming a deep V shape from the longer lapels. It's also ideal for displaying your shirt and tie, as it allows for greater visibility of each.
Who Should Put It On: The two-button suit is flattering on almost every body type. The slimming effect of this jacket on the body makes it flattering. It also gives the wearer the appearance of being taller.
