Amish women (of traditional orders) can't use buttons at all. A massive part of it is adhering to modesty, with fancy buttons considered "showy" and "distracting" particularly for women, as well as a way to impart individual style (which goes against their beliefs.) For men, buttons are associated with military dress, and as the Amish are pacifists, they consider buttons to be inappropriate and aggressive. It all comes down to the individual order that people follow. Some use buttons in certain outfits, but some don't use them at all. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago I stand corrected, that is an interesting read. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Blujayooo@lemmy.world [S] 1 point 11 months ago xD permalink fedilink source parent
