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.

      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.

      More importantly, where is OP based that this has become a debate with two wrong answers?!

    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 :(

      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)
