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.
That’s a zippered hoodie
It’s a hoodie.
I’d call it a “hoodie”.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoodie
A hoodie (in some cases spelled hoody[1] and alternatively known as a hooded garment)[2] is a type of sweatshirt[1] with a hood that partially or fully covers the wearer’s head or face.
Wikipedia says that the zipper can be a defining characteristic:

List of jackets
- Hoodie, a zippered hooded sweatshirt (non zippered can be considered a sweatshirt only)
List of jackets
- Hoodie, a zippered hooded sweatshirt (non zippered can be considered a sweatshirt only)
That clears things up… this jacket is a zippered hooded sweatshirt.
Wait, that resolves nothing!
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 wrote all of that and left out the one in the picture
It’s a zip up hoodie
Just hoodie.
You’re missing things like wind breaker and rain jacket - light, zipper, hood.

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.
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.
Make sure to reach the back of his teeth
It’s clearly white and gold
It’s blue and black what are you high on?!
I would not call it at all.
(because I know already that it won’t come :-))
Sweatshirt when zipped, jacket when unzipped, always hoodie.
