Are hoodies jackets?

Hoodies are not technically jackets but share some overlapping use. A hoodie is usually a mid-layer made from cotton, fleece, or jersey, while a jacket serves as an outer layer with structured fabric and zippers. However, zip-up hoodies act as lightweight alternatives to jackets for transitional weather. Fashion collections often combine hoodie silhouettes with outerwear materials, creating “knit jackets” or hybrid hooded coats.
