The two-button suit

Most businessmen choose to wear a two-button suit and are more or less a staple in any businessman’s wardrobe. This style is considered as the standard executive suit type under men’s suits. Amongst American’s, it is one of the top picks for various events that call for a suit under its dress code.

When wearing a two-button suit, remember, that you must always wear it leaving the bottom button undone. This makes it easier and more comfortable to sit down. By leaving the bottom button undone, you also avoid the risk of tearing off the button.

Unlike the three-button suit, the two-button suit is set moderately lower than the other. But depending on the designer, it can even be fashioned to resemble the three-button suit style. This is a good enough compromise for those who would prefer wearing a two-button suit, but also do not want to show off too much of their chest area. It is also more comfortable, as opposed to being decked out in tuxedos, which is worn most often at very formal occasions, and only suits selected body types.

Two-button suits are best for shorter men as it makes them look taller and the style of the suit accentuates the shoulders, making them appear straighter and broader – all of which is fantastically complimentary. Other than being worn by businessmen, the two-button suit is also great for casual wear – with a pair of denim or even vintage or designer jeans. You can even pull off a smart casual look by pairing the suit with a dress or sport shirt.
