Join the gentlemen’s club in the Obey your tailor’s buttoned-up trend

You have probably noticed a growing amount of men wearing their button-down shirts with the top button buttoned up.

A tailored shirt’s buttons usually start from the neck down to the hems of the shirt. Tailors sew this button from the neck for a reason which is that the shirt should be buttoned from the neck but some people can have options of starting the buttoning up from any style of their choice. Right now, people are obeying their tailors by buttoning up from the first to the last button.

Known as the “buttoned-up” look, this trend refers specifically to guys who button all of the buttons on their button-up without wearing a tie. It’s a look that’s been in turns called a hipster fad or nerd-chic.

Some will claim that buttoning the top button of a shirt is uncomfortable and constraining on their neck. However, if a shirt fits you properly, your collar should have a little room so that a buttoned top button won’t strangle you.

The straight row of buttons also creates a neat line that emphasizes the sleek lines of your shirt and figure. The effect is a look of precision that’s not too formal.

Of course, just like any trend, whether you choose to follow it is completely up to you. The buttoned-up look is necessary for looking cool or sophisticated, but it can be a fun trend to try out.
