It is important to note that kiru is only for wearing things on the top part of your body, below your neck and above your waist.
For wearing pants panties shoes or socks you need to use haku, and for things on your head (like a hat) Kaburu. For glasses you use kakeru, for neckties/bowties shimeru, and for accessories you use suru (shite imasu)
