This verb has many meanings, here's two examples:
Ik trek vandaag een jurk aan = I'm putting on a dress today
Ik trek de verkeerde mannen aan = I attract the wrong (kind of) men

dank je. so the aan is always at the end, right? (in the present)

If 'aantrekken' is the finite verb, I think that is indeed the usual position.
But the sentence can be made longer by adding other phrases behind it.
For example:
Ik trek vandaag een jurk aan met een strik.
I'm putting on a dress with a bow today.
It is also possible to move 'aan' to the end of the sentence here.
Other examples, in which 'aantrekken' is not the finite verb:
Ik weet niet wat ik aan moet trekken = I don't know what I should put on
Je moet je jas aantrekken = You have to put on your coat
