In clothing and fashion design, a button is a small disc, typically round, object usually attached to an article of clothing in order to secure an opening, or for ornamentation. Functional buttons work by slipping the button through a fabric or thread loop, or by sliding the button through a reinforced slit called a buttonhole.

Buttons may be manufactured from an extremely wide range of materials, including natural materials such as antler, bone, horn, ivory, shell, vegetable ivory, and wood; or synthetics such as celluloid, glass, metal, bakelite and plastic.

Hard plastic is by far the most common material for newly manufactured buttons; the other materials tend to occur only in premium apparel.

There exists a phobia of buttons, called koumpounophobia.

A. Button all buttons EXCEPT the bottom one. So for a standard three button jacket, button the top two. For a two button jacket, only the top one. In all cases, unbutton the jacket before you sit down. Re-button it when you stand back up (unless you're just going to sit right back down again).
