Hoodies

Hoodies are another common type of pullover, characterized by a hood and often a front pocket. They are typically made from cotton or synthetic blends and are popular in casual wear.

Jumpers

Jumpers are similar to sweaters but can vary in design and material. They are often used interchangeably with the term sweater in some regions.

Materials

Pullovers can be made from a variety of materials, each offering different levels of warmth, comfort, and durability.

  • Wool: Known for its excellent insulation properties.
