Are the buttons on your shirt on the left side or on the right? There's actually a pretty easy answer: if you wear women's clothing, the buttons are on the left side of the shirt. However, if you wear men's shirts, the buttons line up on the right side.

Why are women's buttons on the left?
“Wealthy women back then did not dress themselves — their lady's maid did. Since most people were right-handed, this made it easier for someone standing across from you to button your dress.” Fancy! The tradition has stuck and women's shirts today, including Moore's, place buttons on the left side.
Why are men's buttons on the right?
One theory is that men's shirts buttoned on the right because of weaponry. Since most men held their swords in their right hands, they needed to be able to swiftly open their shirts for dueling purposes.
Why should the primary button be right?
The primary button is on the left means a user looks at it first. Users tend to click the first thing they saw. Meanwhile, the primary button on the right means continuity. It is easier for users' hands, especially for mobile apps.
