In American English, a
jumper is a type of sleeveless dress that is worn over a blouse or sweater.
A British jumper stops at the waist.
A
tank top is a sleeveless shirt with a low-cut neck.
A British tank-top is
not a shirt (it's an item of knitwear), but it is sleeveless.
A
sweatshirt is a fleece-lined shirt. It can have long or short sleeves, be a pullover style or zip up the front. It can also have a hood (called a "hoody" in BrE). :up:
Also, if he/she is an apathetic/possibly hostile adolescent, a 'hoody' can also be the wearer of a hoody.
Platform shoes were all the rage in the 1970s, and came back into fashion in the late 1990s. (Can we blame the Spice Girls for that?) :up:
I don't know about the Spice Girls revival, but in the 60s they were also warn by some young men - 'the mods'.
A
blouse can describe almost any type of women's shirt. :up:
Same here.
Capri pants end just below the kneee. They are a dubious fashion trend and are more appropriate for digging clams on the beach than for every day wear.
Never heard of them. In the '80s, there was a craze for something called 'pedal pushers' (which sound similar). More recently, young men - and older men in the middle of the male menopause ;-) - have been wearing trousers like that (in the summer); they're called 'cut-offs'.
Boot-cut jeans are loose through the leg and wider at the ankle, so that you can comfortably wear boots underneath them.:up:
Same here.
