在很多的正式場合,我們都要穿上西裝(禮服),代表著我們的一種尊重,就算只是西裝鈕扣這樣的小細節,做得好的話,對於形象也有加分的作用喔!每個國家都有自己的文化與禮儀習慣,在出國與外國人接觸的同時,也不要忘了入境隨俗,別做出失禮的事喔,一起來看看這些常用的國際禮儀吧!
西裝鈕扣該怎麼扣?
如果你的西裝是一粒扣,那你可以扣,可以不扣。
If your suit has only one button, you can button it or not.
如果你的西裝有兩顆扣子,那你下面那個扣子可以不扣。
If your suit has two buttons, you can unbutton the lowest one.
如果你的西裝有三顆扣子,那你可以只扣中間那個扣子就好。
If your suit has three buttons, you can just button the middle one.
如果你是坐著,那建議扣子都不扣,或者至少最後那顆不要扣。因為我們坐著的時候如果扣扣子,西裝容易扭曲變形,在腹部形成很多皺摺,既不美觀,行動也不方便。
If you are sitting, it's more appropriate to unbutton all buttons on your suit, or at least unbutton the lowest one because that looks untidy and inconvenient when you sit and crease the suit.
