Why do women's clothes always button from the left, while men's clothes button from the right?
...This is an example in which history really seems to matter.
When buttons first appeared in the seventeenth century, they were seen only on garments of the wealthy. At that time it was a custom for men to dress themselves and for women to be dresses by servants.
Having women's shirts button from the left thus made things easier for the mostly right handed servants who dressed them...
