One thing is that there are many examples of 7/8 or possibly 9/10 sleeves, and I've always liked that length. Yes, long 14th century sleeves which reach the knuckles are very cool and sexy, but in the mundane world I've always been fond of 7/8 sleeves on tops - partly because I have relatively short arms and all full length sleeves have to be folded, but also because my wrists are one of the parts of my body that I'm happy with how they look (my eyebrows is the other one. I don't pluck them to shape, just occasionally, when I have the energy, remove some hairs on the nose where they want to grow together)
Some paintings where the women's wrists are bare, without the tunics being folded up:
