 Why do men’s shirts have buttons on the left side while women’s shirts have them on the right?

The rationale dates back to over a century: men’s buttons are on the left because men have always tended to dress themselves and most men (and women, for that matter) are right-handed. Women’s buttons are on the right side because years ago they relied on their maids to help them get dressed. They would be right-handed and so when dressing someone else up would prefer to have the buttons on their right side (the left side of the garment). |
