Why are mens & womens buttons on different sides?

Answer 1

So they can face each other and undo each other's shirts easily.

Answer 2

I really don't know the reason, that's an interesting question. I do try to remember which is which because if I run across a nice button down shirt at a garage sale I'll know if it's men's or women's. Sometimes it's hard to tell if you don't know which way they button.

Answer 3

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.
