The jacket is the must have of every self-respecting gentleman , and we at Quintessence know it well.
If you have a men's jacket , you know that buttoning it is essential for a flawless look . But how to button your jacket correctly?
Let's start with the most common mistakes that are made, especially with your buttons . You are ready? Start taking notes!
Button up a single button
when you're standing!
For double-breasted jackets , close the top button and leave the rest open; while for jackets without double-breasted , close the upper buttons.
And if you are going for a walk ? Leave your body free to move and open the whole jacket .
Just remember to unclip that too when you sit down!
No matter your physique,
when seated, the jacket must be kept open .
This will allow you to get a better fit and avoid creating unwanted creases and tensions in the fabric.
It takes so little to make no mistake!
The choice of which buttons to button also depends on the occasion : if you have to participate in a formal event , opt for the version with all the buttons closed; on the contrary, if you are going to a casual party you can leave some open. Also remember to match your jacket to the occasion: wear it with jeans and sneakers for a casual look or
with classic trousers and elegant lace-up shoes for a more formal look .
The buttons on your jacket are among the most important details of the garment, always treat them with respect!
