Regional differences in clothing names in English
Clothing in English may be called slightly differently in different English-speaking countries.
1. Sweater or Jumper?
After studying discussions on English-language sites, I came to the conclusion that in English, under the words sweater And jumper can understand different things, however, as in Russian.
For example, from this discussion I learned that in Australia a long-sleeved knitted wool sweater is called jumper. There is even this joke:
“What do you get if you cross a sheep with a kangaroo? A woolly jumper.”
“What happens if you cross a sheep and a kangaroo? Woolen jumper” (play on words jumper - literally: jumper)
In Great Britain jumper means approximately the same, except that it is not necessarily woolen, but in the USA it is a completely different item of clothing, and for women (teenagers), something like a sleeveless dress.
Sweater in the UK this is a sweater in our understanding, that is, knitted with long sleeves and without buttons, and in the USA a cardigan with buttons can also be called sweater.
2. Pants or Trousers? What is the difference
The difference is simple, but much more significant than a sweater/jumper:
- In the USA, both pants and trousers are trousers.
- In Great Britain, trousers are trousers, pants are underpants.
