As fashion blogs and magazines will tell you, there's a story that King Edward VII, back when he was the Prince of Wales and suits were becoming in vogue, got too fat for his waistcoat so he stopped buttoning the bottom button to make it fit better.
Out of respect for him, the British court — and, eventually, everyone else in England and the British colonies — stopped buttoning their bottom buttons, too. It sounds too silly to be true. But historians of British fashion consider it fact, if a little muddled over the years. The truth is, Edward VII set the trend for unbuttoning the bottom button on waistcoats as well as the bottom button on suit jackets, but for two very different reasons. The story of the "Edwardian theory" is told by Sir Hardy Amies , an English fashion designer who was the official dressmaker for Queen Elizabeth II for nearly four decades — between her ascension to the throne in to his retirement in His fashion house is on Savile Row, a London spot famous for its bespoke tailored men's suits, so Sir Amies knows a thing or two about suits and courtly fashions.

It had three buttons, but it was still a little different from the suit of today — it was meant for more casual wear, and had a loose cut so that it looked best when the wearer was holding the reins of a horse. As Amies noted, "of great importance" was to "control the drape the position of the button at the waistline.
The "lounge suit," therefore, began to replace traditional riding coats. The third buttons of riding coats sat below the waist, so they had to be unbuttoned so the jacket draped properly while someone was sitting on a horse.
Edward VII decided that the top button should also be undone because it "looked common," according to Amies, leaving only the middle button to secure the coat. When the lounge suit jacket started to become common as an everyday fashion, Edward VII kept the bottom button undone to pay homage to the riding coat style they replaced. Edward was also legendary for his attention to men's fashion.
