Suit etiquette, who knew?

Soon Andrew will be traveling far and wide to interview for Emergency Medicine Residency spots. A couple weeks ago we purchased lots of $$ worth of suits at the Banana Republic outlet. Our friend Lori is an expert on men’s suits so she helped us pair up suits/ties/shirts/shoes/belts, etc. WAY out of our league!!

Anyway, who knew that there was a proper etiquette to how you handle the buttons on your suit? Gentlemen, pay attention, now you can be educated (or laugh at us for not knowing the difference)

How to not look like a dork in a suit:

Remember this:  SOMETIMES, ALWAYS, NEVER.  It’s the order of the buttons

ALWAYS button the middle button:

Sometimes button the top (especially when sitting):

and NEVER button the bottom:

and absolutely NEVER unbutton them all…
