Is it a sweatshirt or a jacket? - eviltoast

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.

    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
