「wear」の使い方

 

The weather has been getting cooler, so I've started wearing my hoodies.

You all might have felt with the cooler weather that it was time for shopping for clothing. 

• clothing = clothes =  服

I was out shopping somewhere (I can't remember where) and I saw this sign. It says:

× goods, wear

○ goods, clothes/clothing/apparel

"Wear" is a verb or a suffix, usually. It's most common as a verb, like "make sure you wear enough when you go out, since it's cold."

As a suffix, we use it in words like "underwear" and "formalwear".

• underwear【名】肌着類｛はだぎ るい｝、下着｛したぎ｝、肌着｛はだぎ｝、パンツ (definition from Eijiro on the Web)
• formalwear【名】正装｛せいそう｝(definition from Eijiro on the Web) 
• suffix  接尾辞 (definition from Eijiro on the Web)

Sometimes we use it with an adjective as an independent word, like:

• I guess you have already put away all of your summer wear.

However, I prefer this:

• I guess you have already put away all of your summer clothing.

If you've been making this mistake, don't worry! Just wear a smile and try to avoid making it in the future.

•  wear a smile 笑みをたたえる (definition from Eijiro on the Web)
