        i was coming here to post that almost every black kid i teach buttons the top button. it's trickled down to the white kids and i tell of of 'em to please unbutton it.

        i guess it isn't THAT bad, just bugs me with certain shirts. like, nicer golf polos of a certain material look okay. i still unbutton 'em, but i guess i get it.

          however, as all seinfeld fans know, the second button is the key button.

              Tiger used to always button his top button.

              I never understood the top button, either. Not like you're going to be wearing a tie with that shirt!

                  Honestly, if button the top button is the new style, I'll take that any day over ghetto baggy jeans and oversized white t-shirts.

                          They're great for walking around in a big city- one more thing to keep from getting pick pocketed.

                                    You have to keep the top button closed at all times so that the other polo shirt you're wearing underneath won't escape.
