I start from the bottom. You can line up the buttons without needing to look in a mirror. I don’t understand why anyone would start buttoning from the top. It’s just less efficient. Explain your reasoning

    Thumbs into collar to orient, line up top button but do not button, button from the second-to-top button down to the bottom.

    If I’m not wearing a tie, the process is complete, top button not buttoned.

    If I am wearing a tie, this is when I put on and button my pants (if I’m not wearing a tie my shirt isn’t tucked in and my pants went on before my shirt), flip up the collar, button the top button, tie my tie, and flip down the collar.

      This is my reasoning also. I wear a button up shirt nearly every day. And always button starting from 2nd to the top and go down from there. Buttoning from the bottom up seems totally unthinkable.

    I start from the top down, get to almost the bottom only to notice it’s uneven, and let out a heavy sigh as I have to undo all the buttons before resorting to matching the bottom hems and rebuttoning from the bottom up.

    The top which is why I always have to redo from the bottom because by the time I get to the last button I realize I messed up!
