The rest of the sleeve is allowed to hang or is tied behind the back to keep it out of the way. Fur is still very popular as trim. The garments are still loose and gradually broaden downwards. Caftans and shubas come into fashion at this time.

The sarafan was a garment worn over the rubakha. A popular version had false sleeves and hung down behind the arms.
