Yes, you always leave the bottom button open. This is a rule which you should never violate if you consider yourself a stylish and decently dressed man.

What button do you leave open on a tuxedo?
The rule of thumb for not only a tuxedo but any men's suit jacket, dress/dinner jacket or sport coat is that you never, ever, ever, button the bottom button. A tuxedo jacket is commonly constructed with two button or a single button and you may also run across a three button tuxedo jacket which is slightly less popular and also, now a days; the double breasted tux is back in style. Now let me explain which button to leave open for each style of jacket: 1. Two button tuxedo jacket: Leave the bottom button open 2. Three button tuxedo jacket: Leave the bottom button open. If you're wearing a vest under your jacket, then you may also leave the top button open but that's not mandatory, just personal preference. 3. Single button tuxedo jacket: Only unbutton your jacket when you're seated otherwise, keep the single button, buttoned at all times. 4. Double Breasted tuxedo jacket: unbutton the bottom button. Now having said that, although it's ill-advised; a double breasted jacket is the only jacket where if you absolutely wish to do so, you can button the bottom button without making it appear as though you're making a big style mistake. In other words; it's not as bad as buttoning the bottom button of a two or three button jacket.
Which button do you button on a 2 button suit?
You would button the top button. If you choose to only button the bottom button, it may look like your jacket does not fit properly and you are somehow "spilling out." However, it will look best if you button both of the buttons, rather than leaving the jacket partially open. If you are curvier, you may choose to try a one-button jacket rather than a two-button jacket - this style will typically flow over your curves better and emphasize a trim waistline rather than bunching around the middle (which may be a problem with a two-button jacket).

Why doesn't one button the bottom button on a suit- or waistcoat?
== == == == == == == == The tradition of leaving the bottom button of a coat undone started as a fashion choice. Coats are designed to flare away at the bottom, since the hips are (generally) broader than the waist, where a coat should be fastened. Modern suits are all cut with this in mind, and thus the bottom button should never be used, as it throws off the tailoring of the suit, turning a man's silhouette into a cylinder. Ideally, three-button suits aren't supposed to have the top button fastened, either; leaving it undone balances the look and permits the lapel to roll closer to the waist, where it should be. In fact, the two-button suit takes care of this nicely by removing the offending button altogether. It is possible, if inadvisable, to button the top button without violating fashion rules. There are a few exceptions. The bottom button on some double-breasted jacket is buttoned. There is also a type of custom jacket called a "paddock coat," where the placement of the buttons is altered and both are buttoned. John F. Kennedy was known to wear such a jacket. == == The custom of leaving the bottom button on a waistcoat ('vest," in American English) undone comes from the early 20th century. King Edward VII was too rotund to fasten his bottom button and the custom came from his imitators.
