This is a classic word riddle, and the answer is the letter "Y", which appears in the words "boys" and "daily," but only in "year" for girls (as in "once a year"). The "wearing" refers to the letter being contained within the word, not a physical item.
Boys wear it daily: The letter "y" is in the word "boys" and "daily".
Girls wear it once a year: The letter "y" appears in the word "year," but not in "girls" (unless you're considering a specific context like a riddle).
