Shirt buttons "female left male right" design behind there is a small story?

When wearing a shirt, many people may not have observed that men's shirts and women's shirts are different in the direction of the "button", men's shirts are generally nailed to the right side of the button, while women's shirts are on the left side of the button. Some people think that this must be in order to distinguish between men's and women's clothing, deliberately designed in this way. But there is actually a saying behind this.

In the 13th century, when button-downs became popular, it was common to see the presence of buttons on clothes, both for men and women. This newly popular style was naturally not something that anyone could buy and wear, and only wealthy aristocrats could afford buttons on their coats and afford to buy button-down clothing. "Buttons" seemed to be a display of power and nobility.

There is also a theory that women's clothing is designed with buttons on the left because women are accustomed to holding their babies with their left hand, so that their right hand can easily unbutton their clothes to breastfeed their babies. Men's clothes were buttoned on the right because in the 19th century, men wore swords and most of them used to hold their swords in their right hand, which made it easier to fasten the buttons with the left hand.

There are also those who believe that the difference in the direction of the buttons on men's and women's clothing is a symbol of "male superiority", and that buttoning up women's shirts on the left side of the shirt makes it difficult for them to undo the buttons on their own, whereas men can undo them with their hands easily, and that they are trying to prove that their status is higher than that of women in this way. status is higher than women.
