Traditonally men should wear poppies/buttonholes/medals on the left side, and for women it should be the right.
All a bit daft, but it goes back to when a man had to defend himself, and most people being right handed, the sword was kept on the left side for eswiftness of movement. Centuries later that's why men's and women's clothes still fasten the opposite way from each other.
