Can one wear multiple scapulars?
Of course one can. Of course, just wearing a Scapular doesn't usually effect anything unless one believes and is living the life that is attached to the scapular. For instance, I wear a black scapular of the Benedictine Order as I am an Benedictine Oblate, and thus must fulfill all the requirements of being an Oblate. I also wear a Scapular medal of the Brown Scapular, although the promises are mostly made towards wearers of the cloth Scapulars. Scapulars are the long apron like piece of fabric that hang from the shoulders to the ground front and back on religious habits. What we normally think of a "scapular" we think of two small pieces of cloth with strings over the shoulders. There is a "five-fold" scapular which is sold that way, and is, literally, five scapulars sew into one: the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel (this is the most famous one), the Blue Scapular of the Immaculate Conception, the Black Scapular of the Seven Dolors of Mary, the Red Scapular of the Passion, and the White Scapular of the Most Holy Trinity.
