Outer garments and shirts or inner dresses with substantially wide sleeves first appeared in the 12th century. These garments were used not only for fashion reasons but also as a symbol of higher social status, as wide sleeves were not suitable for the working classes. In the 12th and 13th centuries, both men and women wore simple inner dresses with trumpet sleeves to better preserve their increasingly fitted and richly adorned outer garments. Normally, these inner dresses were not shown beneath the outer clothing, as it was considered inappropriate. Illustrations from the 12th century of wide-cut sleeves can be found, among others, in the fresco of Sant'Elena in the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Milan or in the illuminated encyclopedia Hortus Peliciarum (ca. 1180).

In the 15th century, inner dresses with trumpet sleeves could also be worn under a short-sleeved cotehardie (a fitted dress with lacing or buttons down the front) and were therefore intended to be visible as an integral part of the outfit. Historical illustrations of wide-cut sleeves from this period can be found, for example, in the painting by Gerard David 'Madonna with Angels and Saints'.
