While this 'unisex' fashion style is trending around the world, there is still a big difference in one thing. And that is men's and women's shirt buttons. Better yet, both have their shirts buttoned oppositely. Men's shirts button on the right, while women's shirts button on the left. This is done for a specific reason. This button difference has many answers.

Some experts say this was done to differentiate between male and female clothing. But history says that in the earlier era, men used to hold swords in their right hand and women in their left hand and held their children on their right side. From which buttoning started like this. Buttons are placed on the right side as men are left handed. On the other hand, it is the opposite for women. Women held their children on the left side. The children had to use their right hand to unbutton their shirts to feed them. So women's shirts are buttoned on the left side.

It is said that Napoleon Bonaparte himself ordered that women's shirts be buttoned on the left side. Napoleon kept one hand in his shirt. As a result, women also started imitating that style. In such a situation, Napoleon ordered women to button up their shirts more to prevent this from happening. But this information is only hearsay and story. Its authenticity could not be verified.
