How it's used
This term is used specifically for tops that lack buttons or zippers, requiring the wearer to pull the garment over their head. While it functions as a noun, it is also frequently used as a descriptive adjective to clarify the style of a sweater or shirt. It is a very common, everyday way to describe crew neck or hooded sweatshirts without needing to use specific fashion terminology.
