Yeah, but that suit jacket...

It looked expensive and well-tailored. But I did have a question about his jacket. When it's buttoned using only a single button, is it fashionably acceptable to have a bit of his shirt and/or tie visible below the button?

Oh, and for someone who gained fame through his proficient body movement, he seemed rather stiff standing behind the Hot Podium, often appearing to have his hands in his pockets.
