The word "clothes" is pronounced is only used in the plural way.
For example: Correct way - His new clothes look good.
Incorrect way - His new clothes looks good.
The word “clothe” is not the singular of “clothes”, as one might think. It is a verb meaning “to dress” or “provide clothing” and sounds quite formal and is not very common.
Finally, there is “clothing”, a singular noun similar in meaning to “clothes”, but it is typically used to refer to a certain type of clothes, e.g. “protective clothing”, rather than a particular piece of clothing:
I wear these clothes every day. (correct)
I wear this clothing every day. (unnatural; overly formal)
When referring to a specific “number of clothes”, we would say “piece of clothing”, “article of clothing”, or “item of clothing”, for example:
I bought a new piece of clothing. (correct)
I bought a new clothes. (wrong)
You will get a discount if you buy five or more articles of clothing. (correct)
You will get a discount if you buy five or more clothes. (unnatural)
I hope this helps. 😊

Firstly, It is very very kind of you to expound my question at this length. Thank you so much.
Winter is coming, So I take out all my winter clothing.
Is it more natural here if I use clothing rather than clothes?
