I don't get fashion, as many will testify.
I remember flicking through a copy of Vogue a girlfriend had (OK - I bought deliberately for my boyfriend), that opened with "You can breathe a sigh of relief, girls - grunge is over!", and thinking to myself, "If you didn't like it ... why did you do it?"

I don't get who says what this season's ins and outs are, what authority they have, or why people obey them.

'Leaving strategic buttons undone shows the button holes on your suit or shirt are functional and what you're wearing is good quality.

"With cheaper clothes often buttons are sewn on but don't actually work."

I always like to send out a subtle message that I have real buttons that work, it's an indicator that I've spent a lot on my clothes. For the same reason I always leave my shoelaces untied because it shows I have expensive shoes with real laces. Cheap shoes usually have pretend laces.
