Well the 'rule' for Dressing Correctly - the unwritten rules

Aug 16, 2019,02:09 AM
 

I'm often in Dubai or Katar when on the way to the Far East - let's see.

There are basically only two dressing rules accepted in the western world:

-Dressing the British way - The Inventors of 'modern' male dress (by George Bryan 'Beau' Brummell) and later refined certainly by King Edward VII and his London tailors (Henry Poole).
-Dressing the Italian way - with the concept of 'Sprezzatura' invented by Baldassare Castiglione and performed perfectly by Giovanni Agnelli.

Both (Italian & British) wouldn't close the button.
It is said the button rule - don't close the lowest button - was invented by Edward VII (and his needs). Look at the sample pictures, whether the jacked nor the waistcoat lowest buttons are closed.
