Folks who wear button up shirts: do you start buttoning from the top button or the bottom? (kbin.social)

I start from the bottom. You can line up the buttons without needing to look in a mirror. I don't understand why anyone would start buttoning from the top. It's just less efficient. Explain your reasoning

Start with the top corner, pop or settle the collar (depends if I'm wearing a tie or not,) then just go down. Tuck in with a pair of folds pulled into the center.

by settling the collar first, that's how you align the buttons on the way down. it also helps the rest of the shirt sit on your shoulders so when you go tuck around, it's less likely to pull weird.
