the earliest record of the use of buttons dates back to the bronze age Greeks and Romans are thought to have actually worn buttons as decoration.

Not until the 14th century were they used as fasteners, however, at least not in Europe. Before that people wore tunics and robes which could be pulled over the head and tied with a belt.
