Dress or wear?
 
Hello there,
 
I �m marking tests and I was wondering:
 
                                  You should dress appropriately
                                                       or
                                  You should wear appropriately?
 
Are both acceptable or wear must be followed by an object (for ex. You should wear decent clothes")?
 
Thanks a lot,
Chiara

Customer,
 
I think I �d go for the first one for the reasons you mentioned.
 
Warm Regards

Dress.
 
"You should wear appropriately" doesn �t make any sense.

You should dress appropriately. You dress yourself. You wear clothes.

The first one is correct - the second one can only be used if you write
Wear appropriate clothing or dress appropriately.
