Thanks for asking such a good question. You may not need any help remembering the different applications of these two words, but I devised something to help me remember it. In case it helps others, I've pasted it below:
You don’t takar tops or trousers so don’t giyer gloves or glasses.
Hope that helps someone out there.
Why not takar tops or trousers... what is the real diference in plain english... I didn't get the differnce between them. Pls explain ??

'giymek' is for clothes like shirts or trousers, 'takmak' is for accessories like watches or jewelry.
Hmmm,..it can be added. Be warned though, it does sound a bit dated or like Austin Powers.

I agree. However - and I do sympathize with Duolingo on this, as it must be a nightmare - one problem with using Duolingo is trying to anticipate which words will be acceptable and which will not. I thought 'spectacles' would be a safe choice since it had already been accepted in another sentence, and was free of all ambiguity; 'glasses' rather less so.

Lulu Isaac: That would mean more than one pair of glasses. One pair of glasses is a gözlük.
Also, general direct objects don't show whether they're plural or singular anyway.
(I'm using the app and always get an error when I try to reply to a comment, and my computer is dying.)

Göz means eye and if I remember correctly sunglasses is güneş gözlük (though it's been a while since I did those vocab exercises).
