: Ok heres the thing,
: Why is it that the buttons on mens shirts are the opposite of that on womens shirts? The buttons on mens shirts are on one side and womens are on the other. Why? Several years ago I read that womens garments used to be buttoned in the back. They were done in mirror image of mens buttons, because it was supposedly easier to insert the button on the right side, into the button hole on the left side. When womens buttons started coming to the front, they just stayed mirror image.
