Usage notes

edit
  • Like the loose meaning of shirt in American English, but also extending to sweaters and the like. A non-outerwear, "everyday" upper-body garment worn for warmth, usually pulled over the head.
  • A T-shirt would often be qualified as t-shirt or t-tröja. The immediate intuition is of a sweater or sweatshirt.
  • Tjocktröja excludes T-shirts and the like – a (usually comparatively thicker) "outer" garment within the category of tröja. A thin long-sleeve garment might get called a "långärmad [long-sleeve] tröja" instead, though it's bound to be a bit fuzzy.
