    it’s not a “feature” per se, it’s there to complete the look, it’s ornamentation. i mean, nobody’s stopping you from using that extra button, it just won’t look good

      Why does it “not look good”? Merely a convention that is entirely subjective.

      Bourgeois decadence. I think all the buttons buttoned looks better, whether on a shirt or on a jacket or on anything else.

      If the idiosyncratic wisdom of prevailing fashion said that an extraneous zipper along your butt crack looked good, I bet you’d wear garments that featured it.

        it’s subjective, yeah. so? i speak for the majority of society in general. it looks better that way to the majority of society, hence why that suggestion is a thing, and why its decoratively present. nobody is forcing you to leave it unbuttoned, it’s just a suggestion to make the garment look better in the eyes of the majority of the people. you’re mounting a resistance against the air.

        just because you don’t like something does not mean its “bourgeois decadence”, and the butt crack comment was unnecessary and personal

        go up to a proletarian with actual worries about job and society and try to explain to them that the unbuttoned button on suits is bourgeois decadence. see if they give a shit. make sure to mention it at the next CPC plenum too. online leftists are so fucking unserious

          Go up to a proletarian with a fully buttoned-up suit jacket and explain to them why it “won’t look good”, and how you personally speak for the majority of society ( international-community-1international-community-2 )

          If you weren’t brought up on four or five layers of ethnocentrism and bourgeois elitism, you would aesthetically see either no improvement or a detraction by unbuttoning one button. If you had the ability to think critically, you would very intuitively recognize how arbitrary it is, as did the 12 people that upvoted my comment.

          Get a better hobby than tone-policing 3-day-old comments. Picking an argument over defending the idiosyncracies of conventions in Western fashion is unsettlingly weird, for someone who only makes 15 comments a month.

          Ruthless critique of all that exists, vs. “it is what it is”
