wet clothes
Laundry needing drying
Wet clothes are garments saturated with water or other liquid, whether from rain, washing, or submersion.
The phrase functions as a unit in contexts like laundry: Don't leave wet clothes in the washer overnight.
Wet clothes cling uncomfortably and can cause chills, making the phrase shorthand for discomfort: I hate being stuck in wet clothes.
