Question about Japanese
ちょっと変な質問だけど、『下着を履いています』 と『下着を着ています』と、どちらの方がいいと思いますか。きっと『下着を履いています』 でしょうね。σ^_^;
I was taught that if someone wears something on their chest, use "着る." If someone wears something on their legs, use "履く." But underwear is not worn on the legs or on the chest, but in between, so I was wondering which verb is typically used.

ふつうは「下着を着けています（つけています）」を使います。「下着を着ています」も使いますが、「下着を履いています」は見たことがありません。
トランクスなど、下半身の下着を名前で呼ぶ場合は「トランクスを履いている」と言いますが、「下着」と呼ぶ場合は、下半身の下着を指していても「下着を着ける（着る）」を使います。

私は、
"下着を履いてます。" も使います：）^😀
男性が良く使うかはよくわかりません。（ＬＯＬ）
主には、パンツと直接いいたくない時の婉曲表現として使う場合が
おおいですね。
例：
スパッツの下に下着を履く。
水着の下に下着を履く。
