不知您注意过没有,很多女式衬衣的扣子是缝在左边的前襟的,扣眼在右边的前襟；而男士的却恰好相反。这可是有着悠久的历史的。到底是什么原因呢？请看下文。
Men's shirts have the buttons on the right, but women's blouses have the buttons on the left. This is more than just a way to tell whether a shirt is for men or women. There is a historical reason for it.
During the Victorian period, buttons were quite expensive, and were mostly worn by rich people. Since proper, well-to-do ladies were dressed by their servants, and most people are right-handed, their buttons were placed on the servant's right, which is the wearer's left side. However, most gentlemen dressed themselves, so their buttons were placed on the wearer's right side.
Those who could not afford servants copied the style of the wealthy, and women's buttons thereafter remained on the left.
