One of the biggest debates in menswear is how many buttons a man should have on his suit. The rule of suit styles in centuries past was that the bottom button of any jacket should remain unbuttoned. This changed in the 1930s when one-button suits gained traction and the trend exploded in the 1960s. A one-button suit was rebellious and slightly counterculture, and it was the more casual option for formal events. Though reserved largely for lounge and dinner jackets since its 1960s peak, a one-button suit announces a modern man’s sense of style and confidence.
It Fits More Proportionally
Whether they are aware of it or not, all men play a game with proportion when deciding which style of suit works best with their bodies. Many ask themselves, “What size suit am I?” without understanding how a suit should fit. The whole point of a suit is to have the proper silhouette, drape, and fit. Proper suit fit enhances masculinity. Men with larger builds do not tend to gravitate toward skinny lapels. A narrow lapel gives the illusion of a broader chest, which is not great when your build is already substantial.
A single button suit, on the other hand, balances wide peak lapels and shoulders for a slimming effect. Wider lapels make the eye travel down. They are customary with a one-button suit, which lowers the button stance and is ideal for taller men.
Therefore, a one-button suit is often recommended for a great look that can fit both casual and formal settings. It's also good for complimenting a body shape that has a little weight on it. Rarely would one want to button more than one button of their blazer jacket anyway, so they extra buttons are not needed.

Makes the Rules Easier to Remember
The general rule for multi-button suits is to keep the top button buttoned when standing and unfastened when you sit. Always leave the bottom button open for both waistcoats and jackets. This rule dates back to the early 1900s and was started by King Edward.
