Can A Man Leave The Top 2 Buttons On A Men's Dress Shirt Unbuttoned And Look Professional_
Hi, I'm Antonio Sentinel, the founder of Real Men Real Style, today I'm going to be talking
about how many buttons can you leave unbuttoned on your dry shirt and still look professional?

Okay this is the question that came in via Facebook; “as a musician, there are some
gigs with a dress requirement.
Some band leaders get in the way that I leave the top two buttons unbuttoned, as they feel
it says, unprofessional.
Of course when asked, I buttoned but I find it because of my height, the two buttons undone
just feels better and it doesn’t really expose any excess skin.
Is there a hard and fast roll that I should know of?”
The quick answer is no, there isn’t a hard and fast roll but my general roll and what
I buy but then again I'm 5’9, 170 pounds.
I say that if you’re going to have that top button buttoned up, you wear a tie, bow
tie, neck tie, some type of neck wear.
If you’re going to leave them unbuttoned then of course you’re not wearing neck wear
and that anybody can do that.
I mean but you need to make sure the situation’s appropriate for it because you want to ring
your dry shirt.
And pass that it really gets effi.
Now if you’re down in Miami, sure two buttons why not?
It’s kind of a feeling, it’s hot and you’ve got a culture in which I think is more acceptable.
That kind of exposing, I don’t know why there’s such a hang up with the exposure
of the male chest area but let’s just say put it out there.
A man showing cleavage is not, is just not -- people aren’t clambering for that.
Well maybe there are ladies out there clambering for it for certain men but overall they and
most people are going to agree don’t go beyond, don’t do the two buttons.
But you’ve got a good point because your height and your build and it maybe that two
buttons is the same for you undone as for a normal size guy for the one button.
And in that case, you’re going to have to think of ways around this.
I would continue to do what you’re doing, it sounds like you’re very comfortable and
confidence is always going to trump whether or not – most people aren’t looking to
see how many buttons you have unbuttoned and I'm sure it looks perfectly fine for most
situations but long term, you may want to look actually have some custom shirts made
because what you can do is you can tell them, not only that you want more distant between
us, so you could actually get away with only having the one unbuttoned and you’ve in
a sense lowered it because on the custom shirt you’ve had them changed the distance between
here.
Another option is to have them forego putting buttons there at all.
Matthew McConaughey, that’s a good example.
I don’t know what company I see his shirts of him in this white shirt and basically if
you look at that shirt it does not have buttons, it does not have button holes because you
could remove the buttons but the button holes are going to be there so that’s going to
be the – I guess you could take an alter acuter, you could remove the front plaque
if it has one and pre build that so that you get rid of the button holes but that would,
I mean for the cost of that you might as well get a custom shirt.
So that would be my advice on this, it’s again I don’t know what the hang up is but
a lot of people they just, they do Phillip look sloppy.
And so probably custom shirts are going to be your best route especially with your build,
I'm sure it’s hard for you to find shirts that fit you properly so there’s quite a
few vendors on the net.
Of course I make custom shirts but there is so many people out there nowadays making custom
shirts that you should be able to find somebody that can suit your needs.
Alright.
