To me, one can ("put on" or "wear") and "take off"all the mentioned items in the subject of this thread; I have made some examples. Please consider them and let me know if my sentences sound incorrect to you. Meanwhile, I think using either 'put on' or 'wear' in these senses do not make any semantic nuance in the sentences bellow; I would appreciate it if you specify the examples where using one of these two mentioned verbs convey a different connotation:
1) Hat / Cap and etc.
- I thought its cold outside and (put on / wore) my Knit cap; but the weather was good and I (took it off / took off it).
2) Tie and so on
Do you know that man who has (put a tie on / put on a tie / worn a tie)?
Because of an old habit I (take my tie off / take off my tie) at the time of dance.
3) Glasses
It’s too sunny; I need to (put on / wear) my sunglasses.
Take of your glasses.
4) Jewels
Most of the women love to put on / wear expensive jewels in ceremonies
Please take off your jewels.

There is always a difference between put on/take off and wear. In "It’s too sunny; I need to (put on / wear) my sunglasses", the practical result may be the same, but put on refers to a brief action and wear to a continuing state. A further difference is that both verbs can be used before the sunglasses are put on, but only wear can be used after they have been put on.
Note that you can put on sunglasses, put sunglasses on and put them on; take off sunglasses, take sunglasses off or take them off.
You cannot put on them or take off them.
