You could add an overlay.

Oh, yes. Overlays. relatively simple. Basically, you're glueing icons together.
obj
    overlayer
        icon = 'icon1.dmi'
        icon_state = "overlayer"
mob
    icon = 'mob.dmi'
    icon_state = "Player"
    var/toggle = 1
    verb
        Overlay()
            if(toggle == 1)
                toggle --
                usr.overlays += /obj/overlayer
            else
                toggle ++
                usr.overlays -= /obj/overlayer

That is the basic idea. I believe you can figure that out.

No. You can't show an image without an image. But I think this is what your looking for:

obj
    shirt
        icon='ICON.dmi'
        verb
            Equip()
                if(usr.shirt==0)
                    usr.shirt=src
                    usr<<"You equip [src]."
                    usr.overlays+=icon('ICON.dmi')
                    return
            Unequip()
                if(usr.shirt==src)
                    usr.shirt=0
                    usr<<"You unequip [src]."
                    usr.overlays-=icon('ICON.dmi')
                    return
    verb
        Examine()
            usr<<"\A [src]."
        Take()
            set src in oview(0)
            usr<<"You take the [src]."
            Move(usr)
        Drop()
            if(usr.shirt==src)
                usr.shirt=0
                usr<<"You unequip the [src]."
                usr.overlays-=icon('ICON.dmi')
            Move(usr.loc)
            usr<<"You drop your [src]."
mob/var/shirt=null

Yuck. Use the =! operator to toggle boolean vars, and seeing as it's boolean, use if(var) instead of if(var==1) (as it's robust).

To WallyB: Urgh, I suggest you look at http://developer.byond.com/hub/Wizkidd0123/EquipmentDemo.

Use the =! operator? Don't you mean the != operator?

He made a mistake, big deal? The whole thing isn't an operator, = is an operator and ! is an operator. He's referring to doing this:

var = !var

or
var =! var


Which says that var is not var, the opposite of var. So if it was 1, it's now 0, if it's 0, it's now 1.

Sure, I'm insulting your "coding skills".
From what I've seen of you around the forums you're just a wanna-be badass who thinks he can program competently.
Your code has a little design error, there, that could easily be fixed if you took a look at Wizkidd0123's demo.

What the hell is HSoWaW? It's nothing I've heard of.
And as Audeuro said, I meant =!... I'm using it as if it were an operator.
