How To Say To Wear In Spanish

One thing I find interesting about the Spanish language is that there are so many verbs to use for the English verb “to wear” as in “to wear clothes.”

You may hear native Spanish speakers use the verbs “poner,” “vestir,” (literally, “to dress”) “llevar,” “usar,” and “lucir” for the English verb “to wear.”

The last one (lucir) suggests to wear proudly.

Let’s take the phrase “I am wearing shorts” and let’s say it in Spanish:

Tengo un puesto un chor.
Tengo puestos unos chores.
Estoy vistiendo unos chores.
Estoy llevando unos chores.
Estoy usando unos chores.
Estoy luciendo unos chores.
