The top button which fastens the collar on a dress shirt should only be buttoned when wearing a tie. It should not constrain the neck when buttoned - if so, you are wearing the wrong size collar.

I don't know what Bubba is doing with his polos, but that top button is just for looks, not for buttoning.

You would prefer I expose myself? Filth...

 

[Naked Snake]

A couple of guys I met recently do this. I hate it.

 

[CrazyDogg77]

Damn why are people so uptight about the way other people dress. It's just a different way to wear a shirt.

 

[Anastasia]

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.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

I don't know... this guy seems to get it.

I'm not a hipster
but baby I can make your hips stir

 

[Loxley]

My adam's apple is shriveling just looking at those photos, it'd be super-uncomfortable for me.

Perfect

 

[Skeyser]

why would it be so uncomfortable? it's no different than wearing a shirt with a tie, except there's no tie

You answered your own question.

Why would you not button up a button up shirt?

 

[Skeyser]

You answered your own question.

well I don't mind wearing a tie, so I can't imagine it being worse

 

[CharlieDigital]

It is because then you don't even have the swag of wearing a tie.

You just buttoned up your shirt....for no reason.

 

[.GqueB.]

I don't know but I always feel uncomfortable on their behalf.

 

[bucknuticus]

The VP of my company does it with Golf/Polo shirts, it freaks me out.

 

[Lamel]

Some shirts I can't even button the top most one because my traps are too large now; the rest of the shirt fits perfectly though.

#gains.

 

[Crayons]

I go as far to the top as I can because I don't want people seeing my chest hair.

 

[Eidan]

Why would you not button up a button up shirt?

No tie, no top button buttoning.

 

[bomma_man]

...I've done this for a couple of years.

It's not uncomfortable if you wear the right kind of shirt; one with a soft collar. I hated being forced to do it at school though, and it doesn't really work for tighter cuts.

 

[iMax]

Still not as obnoxious as this recent trend.

 

[Riggs]

That's how we should all rock our shit. We would get all the pussy : (

 

[IceCold]

It makes you look like you're shy or stuck up or something. Unbutton your shirts lads and let your chest hair breathe and feel the soothing winds. Show your virility and sexual prowess.

long man is long

 

[Anastasia]

long man is long

That's true, but I was talking about the design itself.

 

[Plywood]

How can they breathe? How can they breathe?

I did it once for an interview, I have a thick neck too, it wasn't easy.

 

[filler]

No tie, no top button buttoning.

That's preposterous! What am I, some cretinous hippy?

 

[GulAtiCa]

I like the Michael Westen look. I never button the top button unless it's a former shirt and I'm wearing a tie.

 

[FauX]

Terrible trend, one top button off is the way to go.

 

[Vicetrailia]

You guys critique every new trend...think about that. You got a problem. Let it roll.

 

[Skeyser]

we critique everything

 

[JCizzle]

God no. No no no no no. That shit is way too uncomfortable.

 

[tokyostomp]

is this really a thing, if so I'm gonna rock the style of cutting off the top button to show it should never be buttoned

 

[Schadenfreude]

I can't do two unbuttoned buttons. Feels too weird. I only unbutton the top button.

 

[Kinvara]

I have never seen this ever. Wasn't aware this was a "trend" but I am completely ignorant when it comes to fashion.

What happened to the days when it was socially acceptable to have chest hair protruding from your shirt. I want to go back to those days!

 

[jtb]

one button undone is my personal philosophy. two looks a bit sloppy, imo. (and I don't have the right look to pull it off). none just looks bad without a tie.

 

[Lamel]

one button undone is my rule of thumb. two looks a bit sloppy, imo. none just looks bad.

One and done.

 

[Ties]

People do whatever the fuck they feel like.

slay a bit

 

[aceface]

This is a dilemma for me. I hate having the top button done but if I leave it undone my chest hair is all over the place and I look like that guy in the picture above. What to do??

 

[entremet]

If you can't breathe like this your neck is too big

Or the neck is sized too small on the shirt. Get a larger sized neck measurement for your shirt.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Relaxed button-up shirt look all day erry day. All-buttoners need not apply. That shit only applies if you're wearing a tie.

Have no shame. Be proud of your garden of manliness.

(Or maybe trim it back a bit whatever works for you.)

I trim it but it grows back bushier in about 2 days. Curse my Italian blood.

 

[Zekes!]

Ya'll are straight tripping. I always fully button up my shirts.

If I rock them unbuttoned it's always the top two. I never unbutton just one

 

[Kinvara]

Learn the art of topiary.

(Maybe use hair gel to keep it from escaping your shirt? I don't know I have little to no body hair.)

 

[User 100115]

I am against this trend. It needs to go in the opposite direction.

 

[Callo Merlose]

You posted fucking hipsters.

 

[tokyostomp]

when I wear a tie I still don't do the top button, I pull the tie snug enough to conceal it and it allows me breathing room too boot

 

[ScrubJay]

I thought this was going to be about the fashion style of K-Dogg Konnan.

 

[Krev]

I have one shirt that it looks okay and feels comfortable to do this with.
But in general, no. Really weird look if you're not wearing a tie, especially if you're untucked.
