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
More importantly, where is OP based that this has become a debate with two wrong answers?!
The only true answer
Zoodie.
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.
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.

What weirdos down voted you over this
Hoodie terminology is serious business evidently!! Lol
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)
You keep telling yourself that when you’re 50 my friend 😂
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.
Mr. Rogers would be proud. :)
So OP is a hooded cardigan.
It’s a hoodie.
That’s a zippered hoodie
Zip up hoodie
That my friend, is called a hoodie.
Depends what it’s made of IMO. That form factor can be a jacket if it’s made of jacket material, but the one pictured appears to be made of sweater material, and it’s therefore a hoodie, which is a sweater.
I would not call it at all.
(because I know already that it won’t come :-))
Sweatshirt when zipped, jacket when unzipped, always hoodie.
It’s clearly white and gold
It’s blue and black what are you high on?!
It’s down to the material. That looks like full cotton with a hood. So, sweatshirt. Hooded sweatshirt = Hoodie. Denim? Would’ve been a jacket. Some sort of wind blocking material like polyester or nylon would be a jacket. I might give jacket status to a multilayer cotton jacket with inner liners too.
nylon
Then it’s a windbreaker
I’d classify a windbreaker as a jacket. All squares are rectangles and what not.
This kinda rocks my world. I never thought of it being based on the material, no wonder I’ve always found the whole hoodie / sweatshirt / sweater / jacket think confusing.
Hmmm…still not sure it makes sense to me…
That’s alright. It doesn’t matter in the slightest. If you want to call them whatever it doesn’t matter.
This whole thing is confusing to me.
For me, gen X, growing up it was this:
Sweatshirt: Non-hooded OR hooded and shirt shaped with NO zipper but made of material that is “fleece”-like on one side and smooth-ish on the other.Jacket: zippered thing, long sleeves, usually made of plastic or nylon but the purpose was to wear OVER your clothes as a windbreaker and/or to keep you warm.
Hoodies did not exist. Things like a sweatshirt, jacket, coat or shirt might have a hood.
Now, I do not know what the fuck to call shit.
That is a fucking jirt. Shirtet. Sweatjack. Hoodet. Sweatie. Jackie.
We call them zoodies in our sports club, to differentiate them from hoodies, which have no zip.
A swacket.
It does sound better than a jackshirt.
It’s both, depending on what word my brain decides to use at the time.
But I think usually that would be a “sweater”, a “sweatshirt” doesn’t have a zipper or hood, and a “jacket” is made of, um, jacket material.
