Very unclear diction! Even in slow mode, there was no sound that resembled P...it sounded like "conerse" which makes no sense!

Ggrrr. When it suits Duo, ponerse means try on, other times it means put on. How are we supposed to tell the difference?!
I have seen poner used for to wear as well. Either one of them should be correct.
Nope. The se pronoun ending does not go with 2nd person singular, which you used for the verb and the possessive (tu). Remember that the infinitive of the verb if you look it up in the dictionary always ends in se but that ending has to change to match the rest of the sentence. So this has to be ponerte.
BUT... if you want to use the formal "you" then you could say Cuándo usted va a ponerse su camisa nueva.
