A while back someone asked if it was ok to leave out the top buttons on a shirt because she never buttoned up to the top. Of course you can do whatever you want when you make your own. But, when I was trolling through Net a Porter for ideas, low and behold a blouse with no buttons on the band or top of shirt. here
It looks great too.

I have a number of RTW that don't have the top buttons, what I would think of as the top 2 or even 3 on a traditional button up. These blouses are usually fairly fitted, not boxy, and often the neck line is slightly "V" shaped, but not all. I think this look is currently "in style" and wouldn't hesitate for a second to omit the top button(s). JMHO, but the big 4 aren't aways trendsetters, LOL.

I own banana rep. shirt that don't have the top buttons too. The trick is putting
first button at the bust line. I look low but
safe.

Just think of the money saved in manufacturing by getting the public to accept the missing button look as normal! Maybe inventive home sewers actually started the trend...
