Is There A Difference Between Button-Up And Button-Down Shirts?
Look inside your closet. Do you call your shirts “button-up” or “button-down”?
Do you think those terms mean the same thing?
Chrissy Teigen wanted to know which expression was more popular, asking her legion of Twitter followers back in November for their answer. Team Button-up won 2 to 1. But it turns out, they’re not interchangeable. Button-down shirts were invented in the late-1800s by British polo players, who added buttons to their collars to keep them from flapping around. Speaking on the Today show, Megan Collins of Style Girlfriend gives you an easy trick: all shirts are technically button-up. But if there are buttons on the collar, it’s a button down.
Did you know that there were two different types of button shirts? Which other fashion terms do people use wrong?
