I'm currently translating product descriptions for a (teenage/young women) fashion brand and have come across this item that I don't know how to describe in English. I don't have a photo but I'm assuming it's a sort of jumper with just sleeves and polo neck, which, in this case, also has a camisole-style jumper underneath (it's described as a '2-en-1' item). Any idea what to call it in English?

Comment: "I'd just add a hyphen, but otherwise, this seems to me to provide the best description of the item and, as the references Bokani provided show, it seems to be a commonly used term for this sort of garment. Thanks!"

sweater sleeve
Apparently. Tons of hits, tons of photos of what almost feels like an emperor's-new-clothes trend. ;-)

I agree, "sweater sleeve" sounds weird, tho' it does seem to be used a lot. How about going with "super cropped sweater/jumper" instead? Plenty of good hits and it sounds more logical.

Note from asker:
Yes, this is the sort of link I found (but couldn't work out how to post!) But clearly, the writer of this article didn't know what to call it either. I don't like 'sweater sleeve': it's a sweater (of sorts) not a sleeve! |
I think I'll leave title as simply '2-in-1 jumper' for now, but good idea to add 'super' to cropped in description! |

: Not sure about this - manchette doesn't mean sleeve, and you need French references.

I've added a link to an image from a French site. The description Anne has fits this new jumper style perfectly.

cropped cami top long sleeved pullover

Basically it's a cropped-top pullover with a cami/camisole
Manchette in this case meaning cripped

Note from asker:
Thanks for your contribution, Verginia, but this implies that the cami top is cropped whereas this part may not be. |

sweater with cuff
Manchette can be translated with cuff or bracelet, I find the former more relevant.

arm warmer, - sweater
If this is describing the type of article that was the subject of a fair ol' bit of hype that arose Zara's arm warmer sweater a year or two ago, then this suggestion may work quite well.
