Women's clothes button the opposite of men's clothes because of old traditions when women were dressed by their mothers or nannies. It becomes easier to button when in reverse.

A woman's blouse buttons the opposite of men's clothing because of when women were evailed certain rights in history. When women were allowed to ride horses it was proper for a lady to ride side saddle. Thus she always rode on the left side. This caused a woman's blouse to come open in the wind. So the blouse was changed to button opposite as not to be obscene.
