From a BrE perspective Sweater - we know what it means but this is the AmE term Pullover - the kind of word your granny uses Jumper - aha - this is the BrE word coat - a long (past around hip level) top garment jacket - a short (above around hip level) top garment and also the top half of a suit. Overall - a large protective apron, worn by cleaners and so on Coverall - not used Tank -top - a jumper without sleeves Sleeveless - really only applied as an adjective rather than a noun. Generally for women's more formal clothes, I wouldn't reallydescribe a T-shirt as sleeveless, but I might say I was wearing a sleevless top when I was dressed up to go out.http://www.englishforums.com/English/JacketVsCoat/qnnm/post.htmMon, 23 Feb 2009 14:03:14 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:82598kingfisher2http://www.englishforums.com/English/JacketVsCoat/qnnm/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-82598.xmlHi all, I really get confused between the followings:- - Sweater vs Pullover - Coat vs jacket - overall vs coverall - Tank-top VS sleevless I think the differences are dependent on the dialect ( BrE or AmE), aren't they ? Thanks in advance
