    While a belief that overt wasn't widespread, the idea of a well dressed, physically fit, and over-all presentable person being of greater social value than the average man seems like a constant pressure for the last century at least.

I'm pretty certain the ancient Greeks and the ancient Chinese had pretty high standards and I'm sure they weren't the first civilization either.
