stained clothes
Spots on fabric
Stained clothes are garments marked by discoloration from spilled substances—wine, grease, blood, grass.
The phrase appears in laundry contexts and clothing care: I sorted the stained clothes into a separate pile.
Stained clothes may also suggest poverty or neglect, someone who can't afford replacements or doesn't care about appearance.
