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.
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 ๐
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. :)
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)
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: ๐
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
Itโs a zip up hoodie

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.
Sweatshirt when zipped, jacket when unzipped, always hoodie.
I would not call it at all.
(because I know already that it won't come :-))
According to the TSA, it's a jacket. Ask me how I know.
It's clearly white and gold
It's blue and black what are you high on?!
It's down to the material. That looks like full cotton with a hood. So, sweatshirt. Hooded sweatshirt = Hoodie. Denim? Would've been a jacket. Some sort of wind blocking material like polyester or nylon would be a jacket. I might give jacket status to a multilayer cotton jacket with inner liners too.
This whole thing is confusing to me.
For me, gen X, growing up it was this:
Sweatshirt: Non-hooded OR hooded and shirt shaped with NO zipper but made of material that is "fleece"-like on one side and smooth-ish on the other.
Jacket: zippered thing, long sleeves, usually made of plastic or nylon but the purpose was to wear OVER your clothes as a windbreaker and/or to keep you warm.
Hoodies did not exist. Things like a sweatshirt, jacket, coat or shirt might have a hood.
Now, I do not know what the fuck to call shit.
That is a fucking jirt. Shirtet. Sweatjack. Hoodet. Sweatie. Jackie.
A swacket.
It does sound better than a jackshirt.
Jackets are lined.
Jackets, often, but not always. Track jackets, windbreaker jackets, shell jackets, etc. Light jackets and coats without lining are pretty easy to find. I even have a light sport coat with no lining.
That particular thing is a hoodie. Without the hood it's a jacket. Without a zip (as in, it goes over your head to put it on) it's a jumper. I think sweatshirt is an American word
Sounds like it!
https://www.oed.com/dictionary/sweatshirt_n?tl=true
The earliest known use of the noun sweatshirt is in the 1920s.
OED's earliest evidence for sweatshirt is from 1929, in Sears, Roebuck Catalogue.
EDIT: I never really thought about the word until now, realized that it's a portmanteau of "sweater" and "shirt".
Jacket. But also hoodie.
Depends on the material and construction by my reckoning. If it's made of just sweatshirt fleece (smooth on the outside face), it would most-precisely be called a "full-zip hooded sweatshirt." I have also heard of these referred to as a "sweatjac," though. (Which, IMO, sounds more like an event at the Self-Love Olympics.) Without the zipper, it'd be a "pullover hooded sweatshirt." If it were constructed with a lining, or from a heavier-duty material (e.g. denim), then it'd be a "hooded jacket." Garments made from material with two fuzzy faces (or even one fuzzy face on the outside) are "fleeces," so this'd be a "full-zip hooded fleece."
No, I don't claim that it makes sense, it's just the way I learned it.
It's a zip up hoody, which makes it a sweater as far as I'm aware.
