garments
Articles of dress
Garments are articles of clothing.
The word is somewhat formal or literary—more common in fashion industry contexts, legal documents, and older texts than in everyday speech.
You might read about garment workers or the garment district, but you'd rarely tell someone you like their garments.
The singular garment appears in phrases like a garment bag for transporting clothes.
