Why are buttons on women’s clothes placed on the left side?

Have you ever wondered why buttons on women’s clothes are placed on the left while men’s are on the right? Well, this particular fashion conundrum has its roots in the victorian era. During the Victorian era, buttons were expensive and were worn mainly by wealthy people. Women had servants to dress them, given that most people were right-handed, their buttons were placed on the servent's right, which is the wearer’s left side. Men, on the other hand, dressed themselves so their buttons were placed on their right side. Those who couldn't afford servants copied the style of the wealthy, and women's buttons have remained on left since.

That's a 1-minute fact for today, see you in next!
