But when purchasing, sometimes difficulties arise with the correct names of different types of clothing. Let's figure out together how such popular models of warm sweaters as a hoodie and a sweatshirt differ from each other.
What is a hoodie

The main and essential part of the product is the hood. It was he who became the basis of the name.
Reference. The word “hood” translated from Russian into English sounds like hood.
Soft fabrics are most often used for sewing products: fleece, knitwear. There are also models for winter and low temperatures. They are easy to recognize by their denser material. And sometimes even faux fur is used for insulation.
In addition to the hood, hoodies have other characteristic features.
• Long sleeve only.
• No clasp.
• An elongated silhouette that moderately hugs the figure, but remains loose.
Additional features of the model are the following details.
• Drawstrings in the hood.

What is a sweatshirt
One one of the most popular sweatshirt models.
The uniqueness of the model
A sweatshirt is also a type of sweatshirt. Although the product is often called a sweater. And this is justified, because such a concept is included in the original name.

This moment also matters. The English sweater alludes to clothing that not only insulates, but warms you up into a sweat. After all, sweat is sweat.
The sports variety of sweater appeared by chance.A caring father who produces underwear tried to create comfortable clothes for his son to workout in.
And to rid things of sweat, he came up with a special absorbent insert. It differed from the rest of the fabric in its mesh structure and had the ability to absorb moisture well.
This triangle on the chest still remains a characteristic feature of the sweatshirt.

Recently, products of strict colors can be found in some offices, and in the student audience they are equally popular with both teachers and their students.
