What is the difference between a sweater and a sweater vest?

Answer 1

Sweatshirts are always long-sleeved. They are almost always made out of flannel, cotton or fleece, are constructed without closures (like buttons or zippers), and are designed to "slip on" over the head. They are very casual, and are frequently worn during athletic activity.

Sweaters are generally a bit more formal; while they can be dressed up with a skirt or dressed down with some jeans, they are NEVER used as sports attire! Sweaters can be one long-sleeved, short-sleeved or even sleeveless; they can have buttons or zippers to fasten them closed, or have no closures and slip over the head when worn. They can be made out of any fabric, but are almost never made from fleece. They can be sewn together or knit/crocheted.

Sweaters and sweatshirts share a similar purpose, but are *very* different in construction and design.

Answer 2

A sweater is a garment that is generally made out of knit material and comes in many different styles, but all of them have some sort of sleeve. A sweater vest is a garment that looks like a sweater in every respect except it is sleeveless. You can generally find either item in a pullover, button down, or zippered front style.
