    This tradition stems from the era of dressing where women were dressed by maids or servants and it was easier to dress them if the buttons were on the left side. On the other hand, men dressed themselves and it was easier if the buttons were on the right side. This distinction has continued till today and is largely considered a gender-based convention.
