Wearing something (past tense worn): applying to one carried thing
The Standard Rules give Inform only a simple model of clothing. A thing can be worn only if it has the either/or property of being 'wearable'. (Typing a sentence like 'Mr Jones wears the Homburg hat.' automatically implies that the hat is wearable, which is why we only seldom need to use the word 'wearable' directly.) There is no checking of how much or how little any actor is wearing, or how incongruous this may appear: nor any distinction between under or over-clothes.
To put on an article of clothing, the actor must be directly carrying it, as enforced by the 'can't wear what's not held rule'.
