In, ahem, breaking news, a woman has just discovered what the purpose of those weird shoulder buttons are, which is a query that almost every woman has most definitely had. Typically found on leather jackets, they’re always kind of just there with no discernible purpose, UNTIL NOW.
Francheska Horsburgh, a teenager from Cumbria, posted to Twitter her groundbreaking finding, and the post quickly went viral.

They are used to hold military ropes and sashes. You often see Prince Charles wearing a sash, They make the wearer have a V shape and more attractive so many people adopted the look.
It's definitely from military clothing and now a stylistic choice, but hey, if you have found a use for it, great!
