Button Panic

By Izzy

Akon with too many buttons

Hip-hop star Akon’s overcoat has so many tightly-grouped buttons that it’s a risk-factor for carpal tunnel syndrome.  But if buttons are the new bling (they are so un-Amish), Izzy will happily tolerate the trade-off.

    I think it rather interesting, after all, so much of women’s fashion sacrifices function for form, why not men’s?




  2. bilal Says:

    It’s perfectly fine to sacrifice function for form if the form is worth the sacrifice. This was not the case.




  3. Jeannie Dahl Says:

    I thought zippers were un-Amish, but buttons were okay.




  4. La BellaDonna Says:

    I submit that the problem is the coat is too heavy for the button groupings; it needs a lighter wool, and a closer fit, to be effective.
