III. why can’t the suit buttons be fully buttoned
Some people commented on this Etiquette: every gentleman in the upper class will examine whether your last button is appropriate, so as to judge whether your birth is a real aristocrat. But in fact, the rules are based on occasions. The rules are not immutable. It’s just a matter of time
1. There are many legends about this etiquette story. Some people say that it originated from King Edward VII of England in the early 20th century. He was too fat to fasten the last button when he was wearing formal clothes, especially when he laughed heartily after eating, the button would fall off, so he decided not to fasten it, which was both comfortable and beautiful. At that time, many people saw that the king was very different, so they learned not to fasten the last button. This etiquette habit also continues to this day
2. Some people say that it is because the suit etiquette took shape in the 16th century, when men still used ponies as vehicles. Wearing a formal dress with all the buttons on it will be very stiff. It’s inconvenient. At least it’s easy to burst the hem. Just don’t wear the bottom one. Over time, people found that it was also beautiful, so they continued it as a habit and tradition
3. It is also rumored that this is because Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor, who loved beauty, was born with high dress taste even though he was not in power for more than 300 days. It is said that the rules of “always”, “sometimes” and “never” were set by him, that is, the top one of the three button suit sometimes needs to be deducted, the middle one must be deducted, and the lower one must not be deducted. The man with good taste thinks that the suit is to make the gentleman more handsome and free and easy, rather than stubborn and rigid
4. Of course, there is another saying that the buttons of the suit all represent going to attend funerals, mass and other solemn occasions
There is no way to study the history for what reason. People in Europe have been discussing this topic. In short, we understand that this is a basic etiquette, and we should avoid stepping on thunder
