A sweater is a knitted or crocheted piece of clothing with long sleeves that covers the upper body, though it can also be sleeveless (in which case it may be called a slipover or sweater vest).

When sleeveless, the garment is often called a slipover, tank top, or sweater vest.
Sweaters are worn by adults and children, often over a shirt, blouse, T-shirt, or another top, but sometimes next to the skin. Sweaters were traditionally made from wool but can now be made of cotton, synthetic fibers, or any combination of these. There are also seasonal sweaters, including the familiar holiday-themed Christmas sweater.
