Do you button from the bottom up or button from the top down?
I used to call it a button up because of Jay Z but my younger brother told me to stop doing that and call it a button down
Top down. What kind of sicko starts at the bottom?
I’m betting 0.001% of the population knows the difference between a dress shirt and a button down.
Damn, we have gotten apathetic about football for sure and only 6 games in..............it's a long time till first pitch in February
When I was a kid I called it a button up because that's what my mom called it.
Today I call that a dress shirt.
I don't have any button up shirts, but I do have some casual, work around the house button downs. Most of those are flannel. Some are camo. Worn a lot instead of a coat or jacket.

I thought button-down referred specifically to button-down collars.
I was taught to button the top button first and go down from there. I think of it as a button down.
Button up = fancy
Button down = same shirt with buttons but this time with camo or your name.

Threw away any shirts with buttons belts, and long pants when I retired and moved south .

WTF's wrong with y'all?....It has nothing to do with the buttons on your shirt. It refers to the collar....Does your dress shirt have a buttoned down collar or are you wearing a dress shirt with a nonbuttoned down collar. If not buttoned down then you have several options on collars....tab collar, spread collar, medium spread collar, club collar....etc.

Sounds like you’d be a fan of this:

I always thought a button-down is a kind of dress shirt. That is the dress shirt with little buttonholes on the tips of the collar that button down to the small buttons under the collar.
I wrote my response before I got down this far. I can't believe I had to go down this far. This is why you can't argue with people because they don't know things and do all that talking instead of looking it up.

Dress Shirt: Buttons in the front. Nice quality. Worn with a suit or slacks.
Button Down Shirt: May or may not be dress shirt quality. Buttons in the front. Gets name from button holes in the tips of the collars.
Button Up Shirt: Walmart shirt with buttons in the front.
Next, we need to discuss why notched lapels are a no-no with tuxedos.

I'm sorry, but the great time management expert, Frank Gilbreth, said you can save as much as 2 seconds getting dressed by going bottom up.
You can see the bottom button easily, and you are unlikely to button it in the wrong hole. When you get to the top button you are already looking in the mirror and can make any necessary adjustments.
I've got bottom up since learning that as a child. That's why I have time to waste on sports message boards.
