PULLOVER, SWEATER AND SWEATER: ARE THEY THE SAME THING?

With the arrival of the cold season, it's time to update your wardrobe with warmer and more comfortable clothing.
Among the most common garments to face the winter, we often hear about "pullovers", "shirts" and "sweaters".
But what are the differences between these three garments, and how to choose the right garment for your needs?
As written in several articles , the main differences between the three items of clothing are the neckline, the presence of buttons or closures and the fabric used to make them.

Let's explore, therefore, what are the distinctive characteristics of pullovers, sweaters and sweaters, to help you understand which garment is best suited to you.

1. WHAT IS A PULLOVER?

The sweater has no front openings, so it must be pulled over the head rather than being able to be unbuttoned or opened with a zip.

Generally sweaters are made of wool , cotton, synthetic fibers or sometimes they can be more fabric combinations in one.

A sleeveless sweater made of wool or knit – what English speakers call a slipover – for us is simply a sweater or a “sweater vest”.

Pullovers can be worn over a shirt or T-shirt for a dressy or casual look.

 2. WHAT IS A SWEATER?

There sweater it is an item of clothing with long or short sleeves that covers the torso and arms.

Shirts can be made from different fabrics such as cotton , wool , silk and synthetics.

The shirts can have different necklines such as V, round or bateau.

 3. WHAT IS A SWEATER?

The Sweater It is a knitted garment that covers the torso and arms. Sweaters are always made of knitted fabrics, wool, cashmere or synthetic and available in various models based on necklines, waistlines, sleeve lengths.

Sweaters are the heaviest and warmest clothing items of the three, ideal for keeping you warm during the winter months.

The sweaters can be of the cardigan type, that is, with an opening on the front that can be closed with buttons or a zip, or pullover.
