Buttons on men's and women's clothing in Western countries

In Western countries, women's clothing is buttoned to the left, and vice versa. What is the reason for this? We are not surprised that apparel manufacturers sell different styles of clothing to a uniform standard for any particular group. However, one uniform standard adopted in this regard is that women must be opposed to men. This is indeed puzzling. If you say that this kind of standard is arbitrary, you can say the past. However, the standard of a man seems to have a certain significance for the standard of a woman. About 90% of the world’s population uses the right hand, and it is easier for right-handed people to buckle shirt buttons from the right side. So why does the woman's coat button buckle from the left? Maybe we can understand this problem from history. In the 17th century, when the buttons just appeared, they only appeared on the rich man's coat. According to the habit of that time, rich men wore their own clothes, while women had servants dressed for them.

Are women's shirt buttons deducted from the left, which makes it easier for most of the right-handed servants to dress for them? Is not the man's button deducted from the right side, not only because most men are wearing their own clothes, but also because the man with his right hand out of the left hip pull out the sword is less likely to affect the appearance of the shirt. Now that there are basically no women who allow their servants to dress themselves, why does the button from the left remain the standard for women? Economically speaking, an established standard will resist change. When all blouses are buttoned from the left, it is very risky for any apparel manufacturer to launch a buttoned shirt from the right. After all, women have grown accustomed to buttoning their shirt buttons from the left side. To change this habit, you have to cultivate new habits and skills. In addition to these practical difficulties, some women find that wearing shirts with buttons from the right side in public is not conducive to social interaction because people think that they are wearing men's shirts.
