The state of having clothes on you. Not the act of putting them on — the finished condition: you look at someone and see that clothes are there, and often what kind. From that plain state, English builds phrases that push it further and further up: merely covered, then eye-catching, then in your very best.

可以想成「身上衣服已經在了」的那個狀態——不是穿的動作,而是穿完之後的樣子:你看著一個人,看見他衣服穿著,而且常常還看得出穿的是哪一種。從這個很素的狀態出發,英文再往上加碼:先是「有穿」,接著是「穿得讓人看一眼就記得」,再上去是「穿上最正式最好的那一套」。
