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. :)
That’s a zippered hoodie
Zip up hoodie
That my friend, is called a hoodie.
Sweatshirt when zipped, jacket when unzipped, always 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.
Ah yeah, I mean that without a hood and zip it’s a jumper. With a hood and no zip it’s a hoodie
A swacket.
It does sound better than a jackshirt.
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.
Jacket. But also hoodie.
A swacket.
Yes.
Sweatshirts are double-layered pullovers, typically non-woven. Sweaters are single-layer pullovers, typically knit. Jackets have buttons or zippers. Hoodies have hoods and are made of fabric (e.g. raincoats are not hoodies).
You can have hoodies that are also sweatshirts, or hoodies that are also jackets.
This garment pictured in your post is a jacket. It is also a hoodie. It is neither a sweatshirt nor a sweater.
This is just my interpretation of the situation. I don’t know of any formal classification system for outerwear.
