Why did napoleon always have his hand in his shirt?

Answer 1

The infamous French Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte, frequently appeared in portraits with one of his hands inside his shirt. A wide number of explanations have been offered on this count; however, it is historically verifiable that this same gesture was in fashion, as it were, in the 17th and 18th centuries among persons of noble status, including military leaders. Thus, Napoleon was in this way merely a man of his times.
