A loanword from English 'hoodie.' In Japanese fashion language, フーディー specifically refers to a hooded sweatshirt (pullover or zip-up). The older term パーカー is also very common and more widely used.
COMMON COLLOCATIONS:
- フーディーを着る — to wear a hoodie
- ジップフーディー — zip-up hoodie
- オーバーサイズフーディー — oversized hoodie
- プルオーバーフーディー — pullover hoodie
SIMILAR WORDS:
- パーカー — parka/hoodie (the most common Japanese term for a hooded sweatshirt; from English 'parka' but used differently)
- トレーナー — sweatshirt (without a hood; from English 'trainer')
- スウェット — sweatshirt/sweatpants (general term for sweat fabric clothing)
USAGE NOTE:
フーディー has become more common in recent years through fashion media and online shopping, but パーカー remains the dominant everyday term for a hooded sweatshirt in Japan. パーカー in Japanese refers specifically to hooded tops, unlike the English 'parka' which denotes a heavy winter coat.
