Do you, don't you?

I don't like the buttonhole showing.

I don't like the buttonhole showing.

I perfectly understand ! By definition, a hole is a gap ...

I always button it but at formal dinners I unbutton it when sitting down to preserve the line of my outfit then button it again when I stand.

[Jack Daw]

For 3-piece suits, I leave the bottom button undone; and, for my kilt waistcoats, I button those.

[SFCRick]

Always button with the Kilt, unbuttoned with a 3 piece suit

And in the UK one must always "mind the gap" ith:

Button it and generally leave it that way. Looks sloppy otherwise IMHO. But I have a long torso and therefore no issues with my outfit bunching up whilst sitting. More likely the gapping problem with my shirt color showing through when upright.

Interestingly I mostly leave my jacket totally unbuttoned for comfort, and only in relatively formal situations do I button all but the lowest button on the jacket.

[csbdr]

Unbuttoned, as is the fashion in the States, but I too find it more comfortable when sitting.

[Panache]

It depends on the vest/waiscoat

Those that are made such that the last button shouldn't be buttoned Ileave unbuttoned

Those whose lines look good with them buttoned I do

Or is that too simple?
