I start from the bottom. You can line up the buttons without needing to look in a mirror. I don’t understand why anyone would start buttoning from the top. It’s just less efficient. Explain your reasoning

    Thumbs into collar to orient, line up top button but do not button, button from the second-to-top button down to the bottom.

    If I’m not wearing a tie, the process is complete, top button not buttoned.

    If I am wearing a tie, this is when I put on and button my pants (if I’m not wearing a tie my shirt isn’t tucked in and my pants went on before my shirt), flip up the collar, button the top button, tie my tie, and flip down the collar.

      This is my reasoning also. I wear a button up shirt nearly every day. And always button starting from 2nd to the top and go down from there. Buttoning from the bottom up seems totally unthinkable.

        Same. Many of my shirts have an extra button sewn on at the bottom, so lining up from there is pretty much impossible.
