Buttons are tiny in people's eyes, but they are all over the place. Not only is the threshold of the clothes connected, but the beautifully-looking buttons also act as embellishments for the finishing touch.

Every time a formal occasion, everyone will dress up. Suits are the primary choice. Speaking of suits, most people can go through them, but the buttons on the suits are exquisite. It is estimated that many people are not clear. Why does the suit only buckle one button, why the suit cuffs and three buttons are not the same.

The back of the cuffs of each suit are nailed with 2-3 decorative buttons, which are harmonious and relaxed for narrow and small suit sleeves. And the reason it appears is somewhat interesting.

Legend has it that in the history of France, Napoleon’s life was famous for his military strength. He has a reckless general, Lu Bijin, who can fight for good warfare, but the situation is not complete. He often wipes his nose on his cuffs, which is convenient for himself. After drinking, he was exposed to his chest. For this reason, Napoleon has repeatedly taught, but it has not achieved results. If he is dismissed from the military, he is a rare talent. Later, Napoleon ordered the cuffs of the military uniforms to be decorated with decorative spikes, which not only strengthened the military capacity, but also corrected the abuse of Lu Pujin's cuffs.

After several corrections, the pointed copper nails became decorative buckles, but the inconvenience in front of the cuffs gradually moved to the back of the cuffs. Formally these origins form some of the norms of wearing suits today, including the attention of buttons.
