I believe the answer is:

tops

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'worn' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'playthings?' is the second definition.
(top is a kind of plaything)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tops that I've seen before include "Excellent" , "Caps; outdoes" , "Goes beyond" , "The best" , "Big tents" .)
