to stow summer clothes

All those phrases are fine.
I usually say 'put away'.

Thank you, Clive. Does "stow" suggest that the person is not going to use the clothes/or something else for a while? I wonder if there's any difference between "stow" and the other two verbs. Sometimes passengers are asked to stow their hand luggage in the overhead compartments.

'Stow' is OK, but less common. I never use that word.

Thank you, Clive. I heard it used in an airport context.

Gene93I heard it used in an airport context.

I hear it that way too, but I'm with Clive on this. I never actually use the word "stow" myself. I understand "stow" passively; it's not part of my active vocabulary.

In the US, the word "stow" is quite often heard (Clive is Canadian, and I don't know what CalifJim is). The given sentence is okay. However, the word "wardrobe" is rarely used in this sense in the US. "Wardrobe" in the US would usually mean the collection of clothes that you own. Also, "stow" is often used in combination with the word "away," that is, "stow away." So you'd typically hear some

"Put away" is less often heard in this context in the US. The implication is that it is no longer summer and you won't be using the clothes again until next summer. "Stow" is often heard in an airline context: "Stow your carry-on luggage in the overheard bin."

It can also be used in the following situations:

I'll just stow (that is, "leave") my stuff here for a while.

Jim, what would you use in the "summer clothes" context?

Thank you, Anonymous members.

Gene93Jim, what would you use in the "summer clothes" context?

I would say it in American of course.

Tomorrow I am going to store all the summer clothes in the closet downstairs.
