What are you wearing?

Three verbs that often get confused are to wear [wore-worn], to carry and to dress.

When you use to wear, you talk about the clothes/clothing that are/is on your body. For example, today I'm wearing grey [AmEng gray] patterned trousers [AmEng pants], a long-sleeved purple top, a green wool cardigan sweater with grey, purple, white and beige flowers (not as horrible as it sounds), and short green suede boots.

We also use to wear for accessories: jewellery [AmEng jewelry] such as earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets; belts; glasses (and contact lenses/contacts); and hats or caps.

We use to carry for things that you have in your hands or arms or hold on your shoulder: briefcase, umbrella, (hand)bag [AmEng, also "purse"]. For backpacks, it depends whether its on your back (to wear), or you have it over your shoulder or in your hand (to carry).

To dress refers to the style of one's clothing and accessories. So you could dress casually, scruffily, formally, smartly or trendily.

Very often to avoid the adverbs, we use an adjective:
Curt usually wears smart/formal/sporty clothes.
Stephanie is a very trendy/casual/nice dresser.
