Code:
obj
    Shirt
        icon = 'dshirt1.dmi'
        verb
            Wear()
                usr.overlays += 'dshirt1.dmi'
                usr.overlays += "dshirt1"
                src.suffix = "Equipped"



when you wear the shirt, the overlay doesn't show.

It's probably because you're adding a text string to the overlays; you cannot place text strings in the overlays list. This leads me to believe you do not know what you're doing. Add and subract the obj from the overlays as necessary, that way you can handle things better.

how bout this?:
obj
Shirt
icon = 'shirticon.dmi'
verb
Wear()
usr.overlays += (/obj/Shirt)
src.suffix = "Equipped"



obj/Shirt
icon='shirtbank.dmi'
icon_state="shirt1"

i just made it but it still doesn't work.
any ideas?

You're adding a type, not an object. Add the actual obj (src) instead.
