All those hand-in-waistcoat pictures popular in the 19th century? They involve, generally, the slipping of hand into an open area of the coat, right-to-left. You could also see the right-button orientation as a holdover from warfare more directly. Thus, men's jackets button left to right even to the present day. You can extend the theory even further back as in, waaaaaay further back.
Fastening a garment from right to left would impede the movement of our ancestors. One theory: babies. Given right-hand dominance, women tend to hold their infants in their left arms, keeping their right arms relatively free. So shirts whose open flap is on the right, one theory goes , makes it easier for them to open with those free hands for breastfeeding. Another theory: horses.
Women, to the extent women rode horses, rode sidesaddle, to the right—so putting their shirt and dress buttons on the left reduced, to some extent, the breeze that would flow into their shirts as they were trotting along. Another theory: spite. Portugal makes it illegal for bosses to call employees after work. The death of a friend.

This Sikh bride wore a scarlet lehenga for her Anand Karaj and it's beautiful. But while rich men often dressed themselves, their female family members most likely had servants to help them put on their clothes, both out of luxury and necessity. That particular tradition might have roots in how men once dressed for war, as Megan Garber writes for The Atlantic.
