Lesson Nine is the third lesson on vocabulary. The focus is on clothes for this lesson. After the vocabulary lists, there will be a brief reading, followed by practice exercises.
The following lesson will be a grammar lesson on adjectives and colors. This will be done based on this set of vocabulary (plus the adjectives and colors). You will then be able to describe your clothing in more detail.

Clothes Verbs
One thing you will notice is there are several verbs for wear, depending on where the object is. General clothing (shirt, pants) will use 입다. Shoes and socks will use 신다. Hat, glasses, stuff on the head will use 쓰다. Stuff on the hands like rings and gloves will use 끼다. 벗다 is used to mean take off, and is used for any of the objects, no matter where it is.

To say you are currently wearing something, I recommend using the phrase ~고 있어요. As you learned in Lesson Eight, this means 'currently taking place' action. 입고 있어요 would mean currently wearing clothes.
치마 입고 있어요 - I am wearing a skirt.
셔츠 입고 있어요 - I am wearing a shirt.
반기 끼고 있어요 - I am wearing a ring.
If you use 입어요 instead of 입고 있어요, the sentence usually in the following way.
치마 입어요 - I wear skirts (in general).
셔츠 입어요 - I wear shirts (in general).
반지 껴요 - I wear rings (in general).
