The classic button down:

Tonal:

or

contrasting

which do you prefer? Personally I gravitate towards the tonal. Didn't really think about it until SG kept showing her button down (recent TSV),  of which I have 2 near identical to hers, but for the buttons on mine are the same color as the shirts...

I guess I'm more about function over decoration when it comes to buttons...

I think tonal is classic and more expensive looking.I think contrasting buttons look sporty.It would depend on what I wanted the top to portray about my outfit.

Another example of a classic yet sporty style

Tonal

contrasting

I find I'm less averse to the contrast on the henley.

@Andreatoo I agree because the Henley is sporty but I do think the tonal buttons on  the first Henley make it seem more expensive.

I think they both have their place. For me the tonal buttons are more dressy. I recently purchased this Linea shirt and the buttons are real shell. They look very nice against the white fabric...sets the buttons off like they are sort of an accessory. Buttons that are contrasting should be of good quality, otherwise they make the shirt look cheap.

I like both, it really depends on the shirt and the style.

I don't like buttons. If they have to be there, I'd prefer tonal.

(I just realized I have an INC shirt, sapphire blue with small rhinestone buttons. It  breaks all of my "rules" yet I adore it. I guess rules are made to be broken.)

tonal... all the way.

Tonal

Tonal unless they're the statement like large artist inspired or wooden statement buttons.  I want to put my outfit together without a button pulling the focus.
