And why is that? Because men's shirts are typically buttoned along the right side, whereas women's shirts are typically buttoned along the left. This tradition dates back a very long time, all the way to the 13th century, a time when the classes were far from equal according to Today.com. Back then, women did not dress themselves and were usually dressed by their maids, who were right-handed for the most part. 

Men, on the other hand, dressed themselves. So it was easier for their buttons to be on the lefthand side.
