Description

A "wearer" is the person who has something on their body, especially clothing, shoes, jewelry, or special gear. The word often shows up when the item matters in the situation. A helmet has to protect the wearer, a label may warn the wearer, and a ring may fit the wearer well. It is a simple word, but it helps shift attention from the thing itself to the person who has it on.
