I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I’m surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I’m prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I’m the only one.
Zip up hoodie
Hoodie.
Weirdly for me, this wouldn’t be a hoodie. Pullover hoodies are the only type possible in my mind. Something like this would be a jacket to me.
Check this out dawg - a pullover hoodie is this without a zipper. So this is a – zippered hoodie.
To be clear, I don’t actually refer to it as a “pullover hoodie”. I just said that for clarification.
For me,
A hooded sweatshirt without a zipper = hoodie. In my experience, these are often (but not always) more looser fitting.
A hooded article of clothing with a zipper = jacket. In my experience, these are often more form fitting.
I really like these because they’re convenient. I call them a hoodie.
Then I realised I never use the hood and it’s kinda uncomfortable when you put a jacket on in winter
So I bought one without a hood
That was the day I realised I’d bought what was essentially my first cardigan :(
If it has a zipper I’d consider it a sweater not a cardigan. Cardis have buttons.
(Realizing that a cardigan is a type of sweater, but I just mean it’s a different kind of sweater)
That’s a zippered hoodie
It’s a hoodie.
