I don't know if you have noticed that the buttons for women's clothes we bought are on the left and the buttons for men's clothes are on the right. Then why are the standards of buttons different for men and women? Won't it cost more for clothing manufacturers? After doing some understanding, I realized that this was caused by problems left over from history.

You know, the clothes we modern people wear are basically based on western clothes, and buttons originated in the west in the17th century. Buttons are labeled as rich as soon as they come out, which means that only local people with money and status can use buttons. At that time, feudal monarchy was practiced in the west, and people with money and status were served by slaves. Because women's clothes are more complicated than men's, the buttons on women's clothes are nailed on the left, which greatly facilitates the servant to serve the hostess. According to local customs, men basically dress themselves, and most people use their right hands, so the buttons of men's clothes are nailed to the right. It is also because men at that time were still used to carrying swords, and it would be more convenient to pull out the sword hanging on their left waist with their right hand, so it would be easier for them to be caught by shirts, so men had better buckle their clothes on the right.

There is another saying, which is also related to servants. Because buttons were a status symbol at that time, ladies showed off their status through the direction of buttons in order to show off their money and status and their strength and wealth. Later, showing off wealth with buttons became a fashion for upper-class women, so it gradually evolved into a female button on the left and a male button on the right. With the evolution of the times, people gradually get used to this direction. If you want to change the button direction again, it will be a new challenge for people's habits and clothing manufacturers, so it has evolved into the current button direction.

For people nowadays, there is basically no need to worry about whether the direction of male and female buttons is left or right, because the way people accept buttons from beginning to end is what they see now. And for the current clothing, people's acceptance of clothing is also very strong. People don't care if there are buttons, as long as the clothes are decent enough and beautiful enough.
