Definition
Past tense of 'wear'. It means to have clothes, shoes, jewelry, or something similar on your body, or to use something regularly on your body.
Usage & Nuances
Use 'wore' for the past: 'She wore a blue dress.' For repeated past habits, English often prefers 'used to wear'. It is not the same as 'put on': 'put on' is the action of dressing, while 'wear' is having it on. 'Wore' can also be used for expressions like 'wore glasses' or 'wore perfume'.
