I know it costs a lot less to not give tops a closure button, but I hate that open, messy look.

I don't want a jacket that flies open as you walk. I want to CLOSE IT.

But so many tops are  made with "open tops." 

NO NO NO NO NO NO!

I won’t buy a cardigan or coat with no way to button or snap it closed.

I always sew a hook or velcro to the ones that I have.  I don't mind on anything  short sleeved but why a long sleeved jacket or cardigan thgat is not going to provide overall warmth unless it is a flowing material for a fashion  statement?

If you don't like to wear your jacket open then close it. I love the look of an open jacket. Have been wearing them like that way before it became popular. But during the cold, snowy, winter months I'm the first one to button, fasten, zip up my jacket.

I agree. especially when the style/fabric is more tailored 

and  I am tired of curved hems on everything, was at Athelta yesterday so many of their shirt/top had that feature

I prefer a straight across hem

Amen, sistah!

So many cute ones that i would've bought if they had a closure.

I'm not about to pay these prices for clothing that I have to alter to add some type of closure, I just leave 'em behind.

I love a jacket with no closure. I never button a jacket or even a blouse if I can put a tank under it. Lots of people don't want to feel restricted. I like the informal free look.

@insomniac2   I like to wear mine open, but like buttons on them so they look like they can be closed. I have noticed that some use snaps. That's OK when worn closed, but open, the side with the sewn on underneath snap (sounds weird) looks off and unfinished.

@cosmic1   If I purchase a cardi w/o a closure, I go up a size, so it looks like there's enough fabric to cross over the chest area.

I ignore buttons on jackets and sweaters since I never use them, never have.  I prefer see the column of color underneath, or whatever it is I've paired with it.  

Cold weather outerwear is different.  I must have actual, proper closures on outerwear in 30-degree weather.
