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.
Jacket. But also hoodie.
Ugh, I spent entirely too much time arguing this when I was still in school, ironically the most time we spent arguing with men that were more than twice my age and felt way too strongly about this.
This is the right answer and I will not be taking any questions: 🙃
-
If it comes as a set with matching bottoms(or a gold chain) = Tracksuit/Sweatsuit
-
Light single layer + hood = hoodie
-
Light (single layer) + zipper/buttons + no hood = Jacket
-
Light (single layer) + knitted = sweater or sweater jacket if it opens
-
The other lighter layers with no hardware are just pullover
-
Heavier outterwear = Coat
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk
You’re missing things like wind breaker and rain jacket - light, zipper, hood.
You wrote all of that and left out the one in the picture
It’s a zip up hoodie
Just hoodie.

A swacket.
It does sound better than a jackshirt.
That my friend, is called a hoodie.
I would not call it at all.
(because I know already that it won’t come :-))
That particular thing is a hoodie. Without the hood it’s a jacket. Without a zip (as in, it goes over your head to put it on) it’s a jumper. I think sweatshirt is an American word
I just call a hoodie without a zipper a pullover hoodie.
Sounds like it!

The earliest known use of the noun sweatshirt is in the 1920s.
OED’s earliest evidence for sweatshirt is from 1929, in Sears, Roebuck Catalogue.
EDIT: I never really thought about the word until now, realized that it’s a portmanteau of “sweater” and “shirt”.
all dependent on the material
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 :(
Mr. Rogers would be proud. :)
the ones without hoods often have uncomfortable collars, like zipper scratching my neck etc. so even though i dont use the hood, i prefer having it so it sits well.
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)
You keep telling yourself that when you’re 50 my friend 😂
So OP is a hooded cardigan.
Hoodie
Hooded sweatshirt.
I know they’re essentially the same thing but when you say it that way I think of a hooded pullover, but hoodies are zippered for me.
I insisted on calling them this throughout high school because I thought the word hoodie was dumb. Tbh I was probably annoying about it. Eventually I caved, but I still think hoodie is kind of a dumb word. So is jumper for what it’s worth.
The tag on the one I wear says sweatshirt on it.
That’s a zippered hoodie
According to the TSA, it’s a jacket. Ask me how I know.
How do you know ? Does it involve cavity search ?
Not in my case, but if did involve a very minor disagreement with a TSA officer.
I very minor disagreement: I’m not stupid. But I was a white male US citizen, otherwise I wouldn’t have risked it.
I was a white male US citizen
What are you these days?
The CIA does not allow them to disclose this information.
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.
What weirdos down voted you over this
Hoodie terminology is serious business evidently!! Lol
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.
First - tone is hard to convey. I think what I said could sound rl douchey if read wrong. I wasn’t slamming you.
I understand your point and I think it really its just about where you grew up and what other people call things. I have def called my zip up a jacket.
In this specific case - this is a zipper / zip up hoodie. Or just zip up. But like you aren’t breaking any laws by calling it a jacket and people still know what you mean when you call it a jacket - so it doesn’t matter at all and you do you
Wear that fuckin jacket dawg.
Yes.
