Difference between 穿上 and 套上
Is there a difference between 穿上 and 套上 when you describe "putting (clothing item) on" ?
For example,
In this sentence ---> 这天儿太冷了,我该回去把夹克找出来套上。
Can 套上 be replaced with 穿上?
Thank you.

In terms of the meaning 'put (a piece of clothing) on', yes, they are the same. At to the coloful meaning, they are differnt though. ( If they are all the same in every aspect, there must be one giving the way). Basically, '套上’gives more imagery and vividness. And this, you know, counts a lot in literature. If somebody always uses words like 穿上 in their works, they'll lose the readers. Besides, with this kind of vivid discription you may portray and shape a visual character.

套 is"Put a wreath in something”。 I think 套上 is more "casually" and "roughly", compared with "穿上”: " 套上外套"., and 套上also has a meaning "put a wreath on animal or in something" ,套上马车had one's carriage hitched up,套上马鞍saddle. 套上绳子make a rope round something, like "在狼的脖子上套上绳子" ..
"穿上”is more put on or wear. "穿上内衣”. you can say 穿上外套,穿上T-SHIRT,But you cannot say 穿上马车。。。

Yes. In your example "穿上" and “套上” are interchangeable. I can't think of any difference between the two words when they mean "put on".
