Moving this to chat!!!
Sweatshirts (US) = sweatshirts (UK). Hurrah! Agreement!
Sneakers (US) = trainers (UK)
Tennis shoe tend to be canvas here in IL, as far as I understand it and
would be pumps (northern England) or plimsolls (Southern England)
Boat shoes??

OK, so UK windcheaters = US windbreakers. AU windcheaters = US
sweatshirts (maybe just the hoodies?). What are sweatshirts called in the
UK? Sweatshirt fabric is a thick cotton knit with a layer of fuzz (like
lint) on the inside. Is there a jacket like that in the UK?
As for sneakers and tennis shoes, the only difference between them is
geographic. For example, New York has sneakers, California has tennies.
But then there are boat shoes.... <G>
