<p>"porter" is "wearing" clothes</p>
<p></p>
<p>"se mettre" is more "to put on" some clothes</p>
<p>the action of dressing is very rarely translated in french with "se mette" only in the special case:</p>
<p>"se mettre quelque chose sur le dos" </p>
<p>Literally : "to put something on your back" => put on some clothes.</p>
<p></p>
<p>otherwise we use "s'habiller" that can be translated by "to dress"</p>
