Button Style
2-Button Single
The most common and versatile button style for single-breasted jackets. It features two buttons, with the top button typically fastened while the bottom button remains undone. This style is clean and simple, creating a classic silhouette.
3-Button Single
Refined and versatile, this suit is ideal for both business and formal wear.
A 3-button jacket has a slightly higher button stance than the 2-button style. Traditionally, only the middle button is fastened (or sometimes the top two buttons), while the bottom one remains undone. This style can add height to the appearance, making it a good choice for taller men.
4-Button Single
Rare in modern suits, jackets with 4 or more buttons are sometimes seen in fashion-forward designs or very specific styles, often in vintage or avant-garde tailoring.
6x2-Button Double
The most traditional and common style for double-breasted jackets. It features six buttons on the front, with two functioning buttons (typically, only the top one of the two is fastened). This style is structured and formal, often associated with classic and power suits.
4x2-Button Double
This style features four buttons on the front, with two functioning buttons. The 4x2 setup is less common but offers a sleeker, more modern take on the double-breasted jacket while still maintaining formality.
2x1-Button Double
A minimalist take on the double-breasted jacket, the 2x1 style features two buttons, with only one functioning button. This style is less common but offers a sleek and modern alternative to the more traditional 6x2 or 4x2 configurations.

1-Button Single
The 1-button jacket is a minimalist style often found in formalwear, especially in tuxedos and evening jackets. This design has a sleek, clean appearance with a single button placed at the waist, creating an elongated, streamlined look. It’s typically used in formal settings but can also work in fashion-forward business suits. The simplicity of the one-button closure draws attention to the cut and fit of the suit.
