What is the difference between the placement of women's and men's buttons

The website "Style" Facebook said that the observation of the status of women's buttons "blouse" different from the buttons of men's shirt, in fact has a historical background for men's clothing, while the status of women's dress buttons on the left has several explanations. Get to know them here.

Almost every men's shirt and women's blouse has buttons to lock the dress. So why this difference?

The site "Style Book" German that the beginning of the use of buttons to link the dress to each other began in the thirteenth century. Three centuries later, there was a difference in the placement of men's and women's buttons. Men in the 16th century were still carrying swords of various kinds, and because the man had to always be ready to pull his sword or dagger quickly from under his dress, the tailors put the shirt buttons to the right, because most people usually use her right hand, so the man can enter his hand In the spaces between the buttons and comes out his weapon easily. Moreover, the man can easily enter his right hand between the buttons of the shirt in case of low temperature protects it from cold.

The German Style Book website cites three theories to put women's buttons to the left. First, only rich women with maids were able to wear the blouse. The buttons were therefore placed on the left so that the maid, who often used her right hand, could easily hold her buttocks.

There is a second theory related to the horse saddle on which the women were sitting, where it was made so that the woman ascends above the horse's back and turns her torso to the right, so the buttons were placed on the left side of the blouse so as not to be infiltrated through the spaces, including cold air into the dress.

The third theory mentioned by the German site says that women usually prefer to carry her child on the right arm when she is breastfeeding, so it is easy for her to open the button of the blouse when in the left side.

With the emergence of models that fit both sexes at the end of the 20th century, there is confusion about the placement of buttons, "designers and manufacturers today often dispense with placing buttons in a different way."
