Zip up is more comfy to take off/on quickly, but non-zip has an overall nicer feel imo. And also I like the singular pocket with 2 hand holes that they have :3

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 13 points 2 weeks ago

Kangaroo pocket

why are quality cloaks so expensive I want to ominously brood outside nursing homes.

and dammit I should be allowed a scythe! No officer I'm not planning to reap any wheat with it but it looks cool as hell.

If you tip the fake blade in orange, smarter class traitors know it's a prop, and won't ask you researchable questions.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'm so happy I own a cloak

Too bad with global warming I get maybe a single day of the year its cold enough to use it

Pullover does more to hide the silhouette and proportios that a zipper. My fat ass belly almost disappears under a pullover, but depending on the zipper's mood can even be accentuated by it.

[–] Murse@slrpnk.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

Liking the zipper look nowadays.

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Pullover. Zip always bunches up when you sit down making it look like you have a boner coming out of your belly button.

[–] arcine@jlai.lu 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hoodies without zips are stupid.

[–] cyclonedusk@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

I get stupid when dysphoria hits the hardest ._.

[–] queerlilhayseed@piefed.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I do love a kangaroo pocket, but I can't stand pulling a sweater over my head, especially given how often I get in and out of it over the course of the day.

I'm team zipper but I do look on the other side of the fence with longing.

[–] tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Same. I wish I liked pullover but I simply cannot for practical reasons of thermal regulation.

Leave work - on. Get walking - hot from exercise now, zip down. Keep walking - super toasty now, all the way off. Stop in the park for a bit - cold, on. Walking again - zip down. Home - off

Pullover would just make me mad.

[–] phr@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 weeks ago

zip up doesn't destroy my hair, i prepared for boymoding prettily.

[–] craftrabbit@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 weeks ago

Heat stroke x_x

Zipper as because I live in a relatively warm area, I almost always wear it open. I just can't stand having to take pullovers off or on

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Pullover looks better imo.

[–] cyclonedusk@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago

I was going to say zip...

But no. Pullover. Zip has utility and convenience. When I'm particularly dysphoric i feel like the pullover just hits the vibe closer

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Pullover. I need to be able to hide like a lil turtle and zippers make more curves, not less 🥲

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

Zip up I value the option to wear open more than the cost of occasional less comfort.

[–] miraclerandy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Pullover in really cold weather, zip up in mild chilly weather so you can adjust the neckline. Also, you can hold your own hand in the pocket of the pullover

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Bunnyhug pullover, always.

i think zippers are annoying because they have different stretch properties compared to the fabric they're attached to and the buckling under load results in less cute shapes

[–] Toneswirly@beehaw.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

Zip will always be superior

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck that gimme a cardigan

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Give me zip or give me death

[–] erev@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

i've been a lifelong pullover fan and you can pry it from my cold, dead hands

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Pullover for maximum protection. I am safe in the hoodie.

Was anyone else super self conscious of their nipples poking through their shirt? I use to sperg out in elementary and middle about it.

Thank you Linus Blanket Hoodie

Still cis tho

[–] Ashenlux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Both. Pull over is just so comfy. I have a oversized pull over that is amazing for feeling comfy at home, partner's house, or running an errand. But zip up hoodies are so much more adaptable to changing weather and much easier to tack on and off. So I have one of those too.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes! Comfortable temperature is a very narrow band and being able to regulate it by doing more than taking a layer off entirely is huge!

[–] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Pullover, easy

[–] subverted_per@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Zip. It's versatile for the weather. Cold, zipped. cool unzipped. Warm, sleeves up. Single front pocket is overrated acts like a purse, stuff gets lost. Two pockets means you're organized.

[–] anothercatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

what do u wear under the zip?? I like pullover cause I can confidently wear it as my only layer, so much that I no longer own any shirts.

[–] subverted_per@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Shirt and a bra, sometimes no shirt.

zip but it has to be plastic. can't stand metal zippers

[–] Robyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Zip up allowed me to regulate heat better.

Pre-transition I was all about zip up’s, but now I can’t get enough of pullovers they are so cozy!

[–] tpyoman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Zip up for public, pullover for comfy.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Zip. I like to be able to remove the hoodie quickly, without messing up my hair. My Carhartt zip hoodie gives a bit more of an androgynous vibe, which is whatever. I probably take my hoodie off more often than others (too cold too hot).

[–] Epzillon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Is dysphoria hoodie a common meme or am I just confused?

Both, which one depends on mood or weather mostly

[–] gandalf_der_12te@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

pullover but has to be longer, at least go over my ass and maybe some of my legs. and also can be short-sleeved. should feature a hoodie though

[–] TotallyWorthLife@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Pullover makes me feel like this girl

But Zip, despite for what other said about it folding like a boner when sitting, is comfier to put out and makes me feel cool when I have it unzipped :3

[–] Shirow@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

The left one was for my boymod and hiding my chest. It was my favorite I gave it to someone 2 month ago. 🥳

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Pullover all the way. Zips are cold in front, the most important place. Unless they're double breasted

[–] Maggie@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 weeks ago

Zip for me. It helps me see which way to put it on, how many times do I end up with hood at the front, I do generally notice before going out
