What is the difference between 'wore' and 'was wearing'
I know that the former one is just simple past and the latter one is past continuous. But I saw an example sentence on my English grammar book and it says "Today Jane is wearing a skirt. Yesterday she was wearing pants". So I wonder if I can use 'wore' instead of 'was wearing'..if so, is there any difference between them?

The difference is very subtle. Most of the time they are interchangeable. an example of a time I wouldn't use 'wore' in place of 'was wearing' would be "A moment a go, she was wearing pants".
