What's the difference between "clothing" and "clothes"
I'm mixing them up! ( Can I say such a sentence?? or should I say "I've been mixing them up" ???)

' clothes ' refers to what you wear on your body. ' clothing ' refers to the entire outfit on you. So in the hospital, nurses would say ' remove your clothing ' for a thorough medical checkup if it involves your lower sensitive part How about ' I got a mix-up on these two words ' ?
