The only credible explanation I have heard is this:
Most people are right handed, so the buttons should be manipulated with the right hand.
Men dress themselves, so the buttons are on the right-hand side.
Women (I should say 'rich women who lived a few hundred years ago') had someone, like a maid, to dress them. Someone standing in front of the lady would button her clothing, so the buttons should be on the maid's right-hand side. Therefore the buttons are on the left-hand side for the person wearing the garment.
This difference just became accepted in the clothing industry, and has persisted to this day (although perhaps some clothing designers like the idea of being able to take off women's clothing more easily).
