Folks who wear button up shirts: do you start buttoning from the top button or the bottom? (kbin.social)

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

If I start from the bottom, I either accidentally start one button up on one side, or as I am going up I somehow skip a button. End result is that I have no holes left and one button left over at the top. So I start from the top and work down, and almost always - that works out for me.

This is what I do, and for this exact reason. If I start from the bottom I’d say it’s probably 70/30 that I get it right vs have one left over. Start from the op it more like 90/10

Terrified to see the number of people who just start in the middle! If I did that - I would get it wrong 100% of the time.....
