Choosing Between 3 Button & 2 Button Mens Suits - 2 Button Jacket Vs. 3 Button Jackets

About this video

Centeno explains the differences between three-button and two-button suits, arguing that both styles remain relevant for different body types and occasions. He discusses how three-button jackets suit lean, athletic, and taller men with a more formal appearance, while two-button jackets are more versatile and forgiving across body types, making them the most popular choice. Centeno also introduces the two-and-a-half button as a hybrid option combining benefits of both styles.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues three-button suits work best on lean, athletic, younger, or taller men and create a more buttoned-up, formal look
• Centeno recommends two-button jackets as the most versatile option, particularly for men with larger builds, shorter stature, or those seeking a more forgiving fit
• Centeno suggests the two-and-a-half button jacket as a middle-ground option that combines the deeper lapel roll of two-button with three buttons, though it requires custom tailoring or higher-end retailers
