はく

はく · haku · JLPT N5 · verb-godan

to put on (items below your waist)

👖👟 Sounds like hack: hack your legs into pants, feet into shoes

はく (haku) covers anything worn from the waist down: trousers, skirts, socks, shoes. Upper-body clothes take きる (kiru) instead. Haku sounds like hack, so the hook is hacking your way into tight jeans, one leg at a time.
