I don't speak English and I've seen this structure in many articles:
For + noun + To + Infinitive.
I'd like to know if it has the same usage of 'So That', for example:
I buy it so (that) you can wear it
I buy it for you to wear it.
What's the difference? When to use and NOT TO USE each one.
Thanks for helping.
*Sorry for my bad English but remember it's not my mother language*

Re: Usage of 'For + To + Infinitive'
Both constructions are possible, but slightly different in meaning. The first emphasizes the purpose of the action, while the second emphasizes the recipient.
