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

I'm not kidding when I say I start from the middle.

Sometimes I leave the top few buttons open (very broad chest, don't judge me), or if I have to button them up for something formal, especially if I'm wearing a tie, I leave that part to the last possible moment to not torture myself a moment longer than absolutely necessary.

This is not exactly true if I'm wearing a tailored shirt with cuff links. They fit perfectly either way so I button top down to dress up and look fancy as soon as possible.
