Gender representation in media
There is no confirmed explanation for the origin of the custom of men wearing gloves on the right and women on the left, despite the widespread theories linking it to the Victorian era. During that time, women wore complex clothing that required assistance, whereas men dressed on their own, leading to a preference for buttons on the right side for men and the left for women. Another theory connects this tradition to military uniforms, where swords were carried in the left hand, but there is no definitive historical evidence to support this. Today, with designers moving toward gender-neutral fashion, some are abandoning this traditional practice and placing buttons randomly, suggesting that this custom may stem from older traditions in the fashion world.
