Reply to comment by petal14 in Certainly nothing too special, but this sweater for me all through High School, university and my twenties. by Original-Conflict

The English call sweater and pullover shear shirts jumpers. Seems more of a regional thing because as a west coaster I would call that a sweatshirt as well. Then there’s fleece and then sweater. All based on the material I guess.

I work with a person in her 20s (east coast US) and she calls a hooded sweatshirt or any sweatshirt a sweater. I’m honestly thinking young people just call things whatever because they haven’t necessarily been taught.
