When wearing a suit.......

[DaTT]

I have a funeral to attend 2morrow and I can never remember, when wearing a jacket with 3 buttons, which ones are to be buttoned?

Top two. Leave the bottom one open.

There are different opinions. Some people will tell you to only button the middle, some people will say to only button the top. If you want to play it safe button the top two leaving the bottom open. That's what I usually do anyway.

top 2

Thanks. I knew it was middle for sure, but I was lost after that.

just leave the top buttoned so it's easy to unbutton when you sit

 

[Mrvile]

I say top 2.

I'm sure the guest of honor won't mind either way.

Never the bottom button of a suit. On a 3-button either top 2 or just top 1.

Depends on whether or not the lapel is rolled or not. If it is, then just the middle button. Otherwise, top two.

Screw the jacket. Why is there a bottom button if you never button it? Seems a bit redundant for me.

Be a rebel and don't button any of them! Rage against the machine, stick it to the man, fight the power, and all that jazz.

You need to find something else to worry about.

Follow this rule: sometimes, always, never.

Sometimes button the top, ALWAYS button the middle, never button the bottom.

Why never button the bottom? Unless you want to look like a box, I would definitely recommend you to steer clear.
