Compare with
Hoodie vs Pullover
sweater
'Pullover' and 'Hoodie' are both items of clothing for the upper body and can keep you warm. 'Pullover' is the more general term for a long-sleeved top, often knitted or made from similar material. 'Hoodie' means a hooded sweatshirt or hooded jacket, usually made of soft sweatshirt fabric. The words can be confused because a hoodie can also be a type of sweater. If the hood is important or the style sounds sporty and casual, 'Hoodie' fits better. Without a hood, or when speaking very generally, people are more likely to say 'Pullover'.

Pullover
