You can use switch() and alert() or input() to create an interrogative prompt, then just use if() to grab the user's selected choice.

verb/wear()
     // we can use alert() to create a prompt with the following text, title, and options.
     // however, if you were to use input() you would need to define a list of strings for the selection
     switch(alert("How do you wish to wear it?", "Clothing", "Classic", "Uchiha")
          if("Uchiha") // if the user chooses to wear it Uchiha-style
               icon_state = "Uchiha"
          // we don't need to define an if() for Classic because from the code you provided classic would be the vanilla icon_state
     usr.overlays += src

There ARE only two options, have you tried to run it? Clothing is the title of the prompt that will appear. If you don't want a title, simply don't make one but don't ignore its presence:

switch(alert("How do you wish to wear it?",, "Classic", "Uchiha")


Notice how there are two commas together. Instead of putting text between those two commas I put nothing, which can be accomplished by using an empty string text such as "" or " "
