What's with this new trend of buttoning the top button on shirts?

all my clothes are perforated
Looks incoherent to me. Bent up collar buttoned all the way up, rolled up short sleeves, untucked shirt. Why.
Looks like he is trying really hard to look like he is not trying.

i think you're reading too much into it lol
If you cutoff the bottom I would have thunk it extended into a little annie dress.For casual (and sometimes even dress) shirts with buttons, all guys used to rock the relaxed look and leave the top button open:

explains why it's happening again
People don't wear belts with slacks anymore?I think it can look good with the right type of collar and placket:
But otherwise I'm not a huge fan of it. I suppose it makes sense for a more "streamlined" look.

You should button the top button when you wear a tie. If that's uncomfortable for you, you should get shirts that fit.

but why? the tie is already doing the buttons work.

I refuse service to these people when I come across them.
looks like they did it too
so we have 60s and 80s, and 2010s
Yeah, I was referring more to the 80's revival Southern California mods though.
If you're trying to look as put-together as possible -- which is most of the time, when wearing a tie -- the top button can only help.
I used to do this - I figured they put the button there for a reason, and my mum always told me to do up all my buttons on a shirt.
Then I realised that it didn't really matter - in fact, it was the social norm to leave the top button undone. I don't feel like I'm being strangled by the shirt, but it is annoying to have people comment on it.

Breathing isn't the issue. Incessant heat and sweating is. You're basically eliminating any chance for air ventilation.

And tuck in your damn shirt, unlike the slobs in the OP.

tucking in a s/s button up is dork status

ok, i hear ya but i seriously doubt anyone can tell the difference. Its not like the tie is loose
It's not a big difference. But I also don't understand how it makes a significant difference in comfort, unless your shirt collar has an improper fit.
You tuck in short sleeve casual shirts? Rather be a slob than a gimp.

its more of a "dont see the point" thing than a comfort thing really.

Yep, notice loads of kids with top button done up and it is really annoying. I just think it looks stupid.

Everyone should dress the same.
No, zoot suits were never a classic style.

I'm not a huge fan of the deathly-ill British schoolboy look that this is part of.
In other words, Topman's entire catalogue.

What about polo shirts... I always wear them with no buttons buttoned.

if it wasn't perceived as some smug hipster thing, i'd always button all the way up, because i genuinely like how it feels. i guess i like to be choked or something.
fucking hipsters ruining everything. i already have to be self-conscious about my beard which i've had for like a decade straight. i can't wait for beards to go out of fashion again, so i can avoid all the "look at that hipster beard.." stares.

I button the lower-most button, but that's it. Gotta keep shit totes casual. What is this? A funeral?
It's far from necessary in the world of suits.
