ok, my bro ask me this question just now after reading a magazine.
men's shirt buttons are on the right while women's are on the left!!!
i really dunno about this until he told me.. does anyone already know??
One of the many answers from:
http://www.stupidquestionsanswered.com/answered/buttons.htm
The placement of men's and women's shirt buttons, left or right goes back
to where the buttons were originally placed on the garment, front or back.
Men's clothing always buttoned in the front and the buttons were set up
to give a right handed man the easiest way to button his shirt.
Women's buttons were originally placed in the back.
They therefore had to have someone button their buttons for them.
In order to make it easier for the person buttoning up the woman,
the buttons had to be placed on the left instead of the right.
By the time women's buttons were place in the front of the garment,
women's clothing makers were already accustomed to placing the buttons
on the left hand side.
Hmmmmm... So i guess now in this era, it serves another purpose....
Easier for a man to remove a woman's shirt?? *hiakzz*
