#$SomethingToWear wearable items
#$SomethingToWear
is a specialization of #$DurableGoods, #$Device-SingleUser,
#$PersonalProduct, and #$PortableObject.
Each instance of #$SomethingToWear
is an object that a mannequin or an animal (usually a
person) wears on its body, i.e., in a #$WearingSomething
event. It is worth remarking that, in such an event, the
wearer doesn't have to exert any intentional effort to
continue wearing the object. For example, shirts remain on
people's torsos, hats stay on heads, rings on fingers; once
in place, dog collars stay on dogs, saddles stay on horses.
By contrast, a hula hoop is NOT an example of #$SomethingToWear.
A borderline case is a #$Purse, which at first blush seems
to be something to wear, yet requires carrying by the
performer, hence is not a member of this collection.
Similarly, a briefcase is not an instance of #$SomethingToWear.

#$wornOn worn on
This predicate is used to describe on what part of
an individual's body a particular device or garment is worn.
(#$wornOn
ITEM BODYPART) means that ITEM is being worn on the body
part BODYPART. #$wornOn can apply
to human or animal wearers, and the items worn can include
clothing, jewelry, medical devices, harnesses, carrying
devices, wigs--basically, anything which can be attached to
or borne upon a body part without intentionally holding or
carrying it. Note that more than one item can be worn on a
single body part at a single time -- one can simultaneously
wear eyeglasses and a hat on one's head. Also, a single item
can be worn on multiple body parts at once -- overalls,
e.g., are worn simultaneously on the shoulders, the torso
and the legs. See #$SomethingToWear
for its specializations of things that can be worn. See #$wearsClothing,
which relates entire wearers, rather than body parts, to
items worn. See #$wornOn-TypeType for a predicate used to
relate types of items worn to the body parts types they are
by default worn on.

direct specialization of:
#$touches #$supportedBy
#$wearsClothing wears clothing
An instance of #$CotemporalObjectsSlot.
#$wearsClothing
is a binary predicate that relates instances of #$SolidTangibleThing
to instances of #$SomethingToWear.
(#$wearsClothing
OBJ ITEM) means that OBJ wears ITEM. The first argument of
#$wearsClothing
is loosely constrained to be an instance of #$SolidTangibleThing,
so that this predicate may be used to describe mannequins,
animals, and other individuals (of whatever kinds) that
might wear clothes, as well as humans. However, by default
an individual who #$wearsClothing
is an instance of #$Person. See also #$wornOn, which
relates the item worn to the body part on which it is worn,
and see #$itemWorn, which
relates a particular wearable item to the event in which it
is worn.

#$WearingSomething instances

A specialization of #$Configuration.
Each instance of #$WearingSomething
is an arrangement of tangible objects, one of which is
wearing the other(s). Typically the wearer is a living
person or animal, although surrogates are possible (e.g.,
mannequins, dolls, or corpses). Objects worn are instances
of #$SomethingToWear
(q.v.). See also #$wearer, #$wearsClothing,
#$itemWorn.

#$wearer wearer
This predicate indicates the individual (typically
a person, but perhaps an animal or a mannequin) that wears
some item of clothing (or some other wearable item) in a
particular situation. (#$wearer WEARING
OBJ) means that OBJ is the wearer during WEARING. To specify
the item worn in a situation, use the predicate #$itemWorn.

**COMMENT NOT REVIEWED**

A specialization of #$HumanActivity.
Each instance of #$PuttingOnAClothingItem
is an event in which some wearable item is donned. Such an
event may be performed either by the wearer or by someone
else (e.g., putting on a horse's bridle or a child's
mittens). After an instance of #$PuttingOnAClothingItem
occurs, there exists an instance of #$WearingSomething
(q.v.); namely, the situation in which the item donned is #$wornOn the body of
the wearer.

Each instance of #$TakingOffAClothingItem
is an event in which something being worn is removed, either
by the wearer or by someone else (e.g., removing a child's

fully clothed (during the applicable period of time).

#$ClothingItem clothing items
A specialization of #$Clothing-Generic. Each
instance of #$ClothingItem
is something that a person wears as a protective and/or
decorative covering or ornament. Items of clothing are
usually made of flexible materials, such as cloth, leather,
or yarn. The collection #$ClothingItem
contains primarily individual garments (e.g., instances of
the collections #$Pants, #$Shirt, #$Coat, #$Shoe), together with
pairs of shoes, socks, and gloves (since each wearer needs a
pair). Jewelry, suspenders, belts, etc., are in the
specialization #$ClothingAccessory.
Note: outfits (esp. specialized outfits) made up of several
individual items worn together belong to the collection #$ClothingOutfit,
which is _not_ a specialization of #$ClothingItem
but _is_ a specialization of the broader collection, #$SomethingToWear.

wearers' inner garments from getting wet during a rain
storm). An instance of #$OuterGarment

academic gown or a bishop's mantle.
