The "wearability" of wearable technology addresses the factors that affect the degree of comfort the wearer experiences while wearing a device, including physical, psychological, and social aspects. While the physical and psychological aspects of wearing technology have been investigated since early in the development of the field of wearable computing, the social aspects of wearability have been less fully-explored. As wearable technology becomes increasingly common on the commercial market, social wearability is becoming an ever-more-important variable contributing to the success or failure of new products. Here we present an analysis of social aspects of wearability within the context of the greater understanding of wearability in wearable technology, and focus on selected theoretical frameworks for understanding how wearable products are perceived and evaluated in a social context. Qualitative results from a study of social acceptability of on-body interactions are presented as a case study of social wearability.
可穿戴技术的“可穿戴性”涉及影响佩戴者在佩戴设备时所体验到的舒适程度的因素，包括身体、心理和社会方面。自可穿戴计算领域发展初期以来，人们就对佩戴技术的身体和心理方面进行了研究，但可穿戴性的社会方面尚未得到充分探索。随着可穿戴技术在商业市场上越来越普遍，社会可穿戴性正成为影响新产品成败的一个越来越重要的变量。在此，我们在对可穿戴技术中的可穿戴性有更深入理解的背景下，对可穿戴性的社会方面进行分析，并聚焦于一些选定的理论框架，以理解可穿戴产品在社会背景下是如何被感知和评估的。作为社会可穿戴性的一个案例研究，我们展示了一项关于身体上交互的社会可接受性研究的定性结果。
