Back to: Buttons
Buttons are a small but irreplaceable part of clothing and textile products. In addition to their basic function - closing clothes, buttons also serve as a decorative detail that can complete the design of shirts, jackets, pants or dresses.
From classic plastic buttons, through metal and wooden, to decorative luxury buttons, the choice depends on the type of clothing and purpose.
There are many types of buttons on the market, and the most common categories are:
Plastic buttons - most often used due to the low price and variety of colors and shapes.
Metal buttons - durable and stylish, often used on coats, jackets and uniforms.
Wooden buttons - natural look, perfect for retro and ethnic clothing styles.
Glass and crystal buttons - decorative, often used for formal wear and embroidery.
Buttons for sewing machines and hand sewing - available in various sizes and with four or two holes.
Each type of button has its advantages - plastic buttons are light and flexible, metal buttons are durable and long-lasting, while decorative buttons add special aesthetics and style.
Buttons have multiple functions:
Practical function - they allow clothes to fit properly and be easily buttoned or unbuttoned.
Decorative function – quality and original buttons can become a visual accent of clothes.
Personalization – in sewing and crocheting, special buttons can express style and personality.
Professional tailors and amateur needlewomen often choose buttons according to color, size and material to complement the design of a garment or fashion accessory.
When choosing buttons, it is important to consider:
Type of clothing - a heavy jacket requires solid metal buttons, while a light shirt can use plastic.
Button size – the proportional size of the button in relation to the piece of clothing and the thickness of the fabric.
Color and style - to blend in with other details of clothing or to serve as a contrast.
Number of holes – standard buttons have two or four holes, while special buttons can have other variants.
Properly selected buttons ensure durability and functionality, while at the same time contributing to the aesthetic impression.
Quality buttons can be found in pozamanterie, shops with sewing accessories and online stores.
In Belgrade, Novi Sad and Niš there are specialized shops that offer plastic, metal, wooden and decorative buttons in various colors and sizes.
Many shops also offer packages by weight or piece, which is ideal for hobbyists, schools and professional tailors.
Buttons with metal parts can be cleaned occasionally to keep their shine.
Wash the plastic buttons carefully to avoid scratches or discoloration.
Keep wooden buttons dry and without direct moisture to prevent them from deforming.
Check the condition of the buttons on your clothes regularly and replace them if necessary, especially if they are used daily.
