This question came from Your Favorite Writer’s Favorite Writer (The one who wrote: Guest Manifesto: I’m from the Place where Hardcore is Beautiful):
“What is your opinion of the 1 button suit?”
Funny you ask, I have been rocking tons of One Buttons lately and chopping it up like a chainsaw thru Nutella. (And I love Nutella.)
Although I am no fashion historian, I would say it goes like this:
One Button Suit: Kind of Jazz man smooth. Rat pack steez. Stylishly sleek. Good for picking up Models and Nightlife Princesses. For the Nightshift. Swooping fly girls on the veranda overlooking the Med. Suit worn not because you have to wear a suit for work.
Two Button Suit: Universal. Biz Stilo. Works well on all builds. Good all around battle tested swoop gear. Timeless. JFK.
Three Button Suit: 60’s Mod style. Good for taller cats. Can be Rakish.
Side note:
Four Button Suit: NFL wide receiver. A la Michael Irvin.
Five Button Suit (and up): Hoops. Charles Oakley.
But Like my Grandfather always told me; “Style and Taste are for men. Trends and Fashion are for the ladies.” G’s stick with Style and Taste.
