As to why: for small changes in temperature, such as early morning chill, to midday warmth, it is nice to be able to remove your sleeves or put them back on as needed. They are also nice for visual effect. There are some paintings where a woman might have pretty brocaded sleeves to put on, where she might not be able to afford so much of the same fabric to make a whole dress.
Or at least that's what I think on the subject.
