Many times, many things happen in our life for which there is no reason for happening, but still the story behind their happening is very strange. Many times these reasons disappear, but the tradition persists. The best example of this is the design of jeans pants, many of which are being followed as a tradition. Something similar happens with the buttons of men’s and women’s shirts. Very few people are able to notice that the buttons of men’s and women’s shirts are on different sides and if you come to know the reason for this, you too will not remain surprised.
But why is it so? Like many traditions, the answer also lies in history. The truth is that never in history did clothing manufacturers declare that the buttons of men’s shirts should be on the right side and the buttons of women’s shirts should be on the left.
In the medieval period of history, both parts of the clothes were connected with laces, clasps and brooches, etc. Making holes in clothes for buttons started in the 13th century and became very popular in the 14th century. In that period, buttons made of gold, silver and ivory were used by rich people. It came to be seen as a symbol for the rich. Whereas common people used buttons made of wood and bones.

Experts believe that women’s and men’s shirts were different because they had buttons on different sides. In those times poor women used to wear tunic or apron. Whereas high class women used to wear buttoned clothes and used to wear some supporting clothes.
In such a situation, the clothes makers of that era kept in mind that the helpers who dressed the women could easily button them, so that the buttons were placed on the left side of the shirt and their holes were placed on the right side. Men had to wear their own clothes, so the buttons of their shirts were kept on the right side and the holes on the left side. Later this trend continued and was maintained in factories also.
