Business suits in work environment

I know its a personal preference, but does the business culture hold any views on wearing 3 button suits vs. 2 button ones at work? My wardrobe is starting to have more 3 button suits than the 2 button ones and in some cases have started to replace the old ones with them too. Is it considered just as professional as the traditional 2 button type in the work environment? I notice most high ranking and successful individuals sticking with 2 button ones. But almost all of them are in the upper age group too.

What do most of you wear?

My company has just business casual dress code. So shirt & trouser, no sneakers or denim.

It doesn't matter whether you have 3 or two or 1 button suits. Anything more than 3 is cheezy. It is more about the suit than the number of buttons.

Sky, I have both three button and two button suits. I have a single button suit from Ralph that I bought like in 1995. It is simply fabulous.
