For me it all depends on the collar size. If the collar is big (or even of a 'normal' size) I don't button up, as my neck does not look good. However, I am likely to button a shirt with a small/thin collar akin to the Opening Ceremony x Uniqlo shirts.

For me it comes down to whether or not I think the shirt I'm wearing looks better done up or not so really I guess it's more a confidence thing.

I'll only button all the way up if I'm wearing a tie...which is rarely as I hate having anything closed in around my neck...or want to achieve a formal effect. I find that leaving the collar button undone creates a relaxed look, which is much more suitable to my day-to-day.

Having said that, I do have a rather unique shirt with three clustered buttons at the collar that simply doesn't work when left open.

I always say mix it up. That said, it really depends on the shirt collar. I have a few shirts which just have to be buttoned up to the max and others which just look silly like that.

i find that, since i've been buttoning to the top, i can't look at myself with even one of the buttons undone. It looks far too sleazy.. i feel like a late 1970s porn star.
