And what about that "Spare Button" supplied with some Polo's!
There it is, sewn onto a label on the inside of a Polo.
It's as intolerable as a smear of faeces on our clothing!
Ugh, it's disgusting!

I personally love the look of a Polo Shirt, but I Hate, Hate, Hate the
Buttons!
The problem is, society seems to of adapted a belief that Zips are for
"Simple people".
A zip Polo Shirt does not attract the same formality that a 3 Horn
Button Polo has. (Excuse me while I throw up

In my job I have to wear a formal shirt. If I didn't then, I would not
be accepted within business society. It has all the silly buttons in
stupid places.
But I am really intrigued as to why society accepts this first
impression view as the expected norm? If I went in my neatly presented
Zip Polo, Sweatshirt and matching colour Nylon Tracksuit Bottoms.
Then I would not gain the confidence of any clients.

So by day, I have to tolerate this Cotton/Button clothing formality.
The second I'm home. I run for my Tracksters, Hoodie and Zip Polo or
T-Shirt.

I don't know why clothing with zippers isn't accepted as "formal." I do think it is easier for us ladies though, to do almost completely without buttons. I've...

I have a couple of blouses that I can wear with just a few very small white buttons on them. I have to admit that I don't wear them very often - but I can do...
