Joe, a stylist, revealed the exact reason why there are two buttons over on his TikTok account, joe_x_style.
In the video, he said: “Have you ever wondered why you have two buttons and only one buttonhole on your shirt sleeve?”
And no, the button isn’t a spare in case one falls off.
Joe revealed the real reason there are two buttons and it actually makes a lot of sense once you realise why.
He explained that there are two buttons so that you can have the sleeve on your nondominant hand slightly looser to fit a watch underneath.
Joe added: “On your dominant arm, in my case I’m right-handed, you want to do the tightest button.
