For such clothing, including vests, sweaters, jackets, etc. one can disinguish with regard to covering the shoulders and arms:
- with only bands on the shoulders
- covering the shoulders, but without sleeves
- with short sleeves
- with half-long sleeves
- with long sleeves
With regard to level of the lower edge:
- leaving the belly button area bare (much more common for women than for men)
- until the waist
- covering the crotch
- covering part of the legs (essentially this is a dress; however, a piece of clothing is either perceived as a shirt (worn with trousers) or as a dress (worn by women, and by men just in the special case of cross-dressing).
and levels in between.
With regard to opening:
- left and right front side not separable, put on over the head
- vertical opening on the front side, with buttons or zipper.
With regard to the neck:
- V-shaped permanent opening on the top of the front side
- with or without polo-neck
- no opening
- vertical opening on the top of the front side, with buttons or zipper
With regard to pockets: how many (if any), where, not closable, or with a button, or with a zipper.
