UNBUTTONED Meaning and Definition

  1. Unbuttoned is an adjective that describes the state of an item of clothing or a person's appearance when buttons are undone or not fastened. When an item of clothing, such as a shirt, blouse, or jacket, is unbuttoned, it means that the buttons that hold it together are not secured, allowing the clothing to hang loosely or open. This can occur intentionally as a style choice, for comfort, or as a result of forgetting to fasten the buttons.

    In relation to personal appearance, unbuttoned can also refer to an individual's overall style or demeanor. When someone is described as unbuttoned, it suggests that the person is relaxed, informal, or carefree in their behavior, disregarding conventional social expectations or norms. This can apply to someone who is open-minded, spontaneous, or not constrained by rules or restrictions.

    The term unbuttoned can also be used figuratively in a non-clothing context to imply a sense of openness, honesty, or lack of inhibition. It can be used to describe someone who is willing to reveal their true thoughts or emotions, without concealing or censoring. In this sense, being unbuttoned may connote transparency, frankness, or a lack of pretense.
