Hi ,

What is the difference between clothing and clothes?

1- women's clothing is on the ground floorand every thing for children ,including shoes, is on the the first floor

2-I always put my summer clothes away away in October

[Anglika]

clothing is the collective term for garments

clothes = items worn on the body [garments]

I think what Anglika means is that

Clothing is is a general collative noun for garments that are worn.

However when you refer to your own personal garments you usually refer to them as clothes.
