garment
Single clothing piece
A garment is a piece of clothing.
The word is somewhat formal, appearing more in fashion, retail, and manufacturing contexts than in everyday speech: garment industry, garment worker, garment bag.
You're more likely to hear someone say "clothes" or "outfit" than "garments" in casual conversation.
