Why do men’s shirts button on the right, while women’s button on the left? It seems like a tiny, almost meaningless detail—but it actually reveals a fascinating story rooted in centuries of history, class structure, and social norms. In this episode of Info On The Go, we explore how something as simple as button placement reflects a time when clothing signaled power, independence, and status. From medieval Europe to modern fashion, you’ll discover how tradition, practicality, and even psychology shaped the way we get dressed today—and why this small detail still sticks with us.
