Sweater - knitted from fairly thick yarn clothing up to the hips with long sleeves. The main sign of a sweater is a high gate that closes the neck (it is officially considered that a gate from 5 cm in height is entitled to be called high). The sweater style was formed by the middle of the XIX century, and it became especially popular by the end of the century. It is interesting that doctors recommended it as "clothes for weight loss": to lose weight, it was prescribed to engage in active physical exercises, putting on a sweater. Hence the name of this clothing: to sweat in English - “sweat”.

Jumper

Jumper - the most diverse subject of the entire company described. Here is what is known about him for sure: a jumper is a knitted garment up to the waist, hips or slightly lower. A sweater can have a collar, but its height should not exceed 5 cm (otherwise this jumper will go to the category of sweaters). Also, the jumper may have a front or side fastener, but this fastener should not be all its length: the jumper must be worn over the head. According to classical definitions, a jumper may not even have sleeves or have short sleeves. Probably the fact is that in the century before last, the jumper was mainly sportswear: they put it on for training, for which long sleeves are not always appropriate. Today, a jumper is most often called a knitted garment with long sleeves, without fasteners and, as a rule, with a round neck.

Cardigan
Mango / Zara / H&M
A kind of sweatshirts. The main signs of a cardigan: a buckle from top to bottom (also a cardigan can be tied to a belt or not have a fastener at all, but have two shelves) and a V-neck.

Today, this name can often be found not in everyday speech, but, oddly enough, on the price tags of knitted items in clothing stores. Popular before, now this word is almost never used, but it has remained spelled out in GOSTs requiring strict handling of terms, including those denoting the names of clothes. Dictionaries define a sweatshirt as “a warm knit shirt without sleeves or with sleeves, worn down for warmth or worn on top”. Thus, the term "sweatshirt" can mean a fairly wide range of models. Therefore, on the price tags there are also “knitted sweatshirts" or "sports sweatshirts", which in fact can turn out to be sweaters, t-shirts, and pullovers.
