Of course everything depends on where you live but - where I live (Chicago, USA) - “wardrobe” is not commonly said.
A CLOSET is a small space (it can have a door or just be open) where you put things like clothes, towels, coats, etc. Someone can have a closet in their bedroom where they hang all of their shirts or dresses. Someone else can have a closet in their home where they keep all of their winter coats. Someone else can have a closet outside of their bathroom where they keep all of their folded towels and other toiletries.
DRESSER is the word that we tend to use in place of wardrobe. A dresser is a piece of (usually wooden) furniture that has multiple drawers that you can open and close. You put your folded clothes in these dresser drawers.
A WARDROBE by definition is basically a “dresser” that also has a section to hang some of your clothes. Even though I know the word “wardrobe” and what it is, I’ve never heard anyone say it. We usually just say “dresser” 😆

Wardrobe is always a separate furniture piece. Closet is a storage unit that can be built-in as well.

A wardrobe is mostly clothing,
Closets can store anything.

What the others said. They are basically the same thing. However sometimes in south Africa we might call the attic the closet - but I guess that's also the built in storage unit as opposed to the separate piece of furniture which would be a wardrobe. You guys come up with such technical questions. I love it :)
Hope it helps.
Happy learning!

A closet is like a tiny room. It is built into a house. A closet often has a door and a light. It can store many things.
A wardrobe is a separate piece of furniture. It is often pretty big. It is intended for storing clothes. It is usually tall enough to hang clothes in.
A Google image search on the word "wardrobe" will show you what a wardrobe is. (However, a search on "closet" doesn't work because it mostly shows you shelf systems to put into a closet).
