I'm tall, so I usually wear well tailored 3 button suits. I think they are a little more slimming, too. But, a classic 2 button is a look that never goes out of style.

A three button suit may be visually more slimming but only if you have a slim/short build to begin with. For those with a broader or in the case of surfcasters, "portly" frame, a two button suit by revealing more shirt/tie will break up the mass of suit cloth and make for a more visually attractive shape.

Technically speaking, both are classic depending on the period.

As an extreme example, the ex-professional football players wearing 4-6 button suits on TV with their massive bodies just look plain silly and out of balance.

You guys forgot to mention Leisure Suits......maybe Tan with a Nice Blue Paisley Poly Blend shirt underneath....I consider that very slimming and a Timelss classic look. Not to menttion extremely comfortable since you don't need a tie.

TDF - Get it in the famous "Pin-stripe" fashion.......that always reduces size in a visual confrontations.....just make sure the stripes are going vertical....

Wow, those are some sweet suits. I have one like the white one in the second picture, but it only comes out between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Not only does it attract the fish, but it also works to repel unwanted advances when fishing the beaches of P-Town (where I only use a conventional).

While some of these guys may be able to wear a three button suit, they really should leave the top button undone (as I always do) to present a more graceful line. Especially considering they're most likely wearing bespoke garments with fully canvassed lapels and chest pieces.
