The middle button on a jacket should always be closed. The upper one depends on your mood. The lower one should never be closed. Cool Geek Gadgets: https://coolgeekgadgets.com
Most Trending Items: https://virthy.com
The tip of your tie should reach your waist and cross it just a little.
Your belt should be the same color as your shoes.
Your socks should be long enough that your naked legs aren’t seen when you are sitting.

Women can buy a million types of clothing for any occasion. Guys have to wear one impractical, uncomfortable, outdated, stupid looking suit.

Not only that, but we get no choices even when it comes to whether to button it up. Meanwhile, women get "formal jeans" if they desire.

MissSpelledTattoo

Imo it looks much better with all buttons used. Having bottom open looks like you care more about oppinions than a good fit.
RogueEnthusiast
It looks like you don’t know what you’re doing with all the buttons closed, the suit is specifically tailored to negate the need for them
IslandwindofWaterfall
Most suits are meant to fit with the bottom button open though. I think they look better that way
TerryTheOcellatedTurkey
I think changing it about (like the top button) should be allowed
itjusthappens
So why is there a bottom button if you're never suppose to button it?
fnurglbhurg
It's also a local thing. In some traditions, buttoning the bottom button indicates that you're married. They all are unbuttoned when seated.

And... much of the rest is dependent on fashion. This is quite conservative, but only some select few versions. Why this, and not one of...

Aside from some old king story the main reason is because it looks bad when you sit. Is krincles your jacket and makes it ride up.

You are supposed to unbutton the jacket when sitting

Right, because it pulls when you sit, and crinkles in the same way as buttoning the bottom button when standing. Just looks and feels bad
