What is the difference between "sports clothing" and "sports clothes"?
Hello world!
In the following sentence:
" The first three floor have a huge range of sports clothing. "
Can I also use clothes instead of clothing? And are there any grammar can explain this ?
Thank you all

Someone else can get into the grammar, but for me your suggestions are both correct and interchangeable. That said, I would replace 'huge' which is seriously overused in English at the moment and consequently meaningless.

Hi,
I am not a native speaker of English but I think I heard years ago that there is a slight difference. Clothes is more appropriate when you want to focus on a piece of what you are wearing (e.g. a suit, a pair of trousers). Clothing, on the other hand, is an expression that is kind of a generic term of all things you can wear.
However, I also think that in common conversations “clothing” and “clothes” can considered to be interchangeable.
But as I just said, I cannot provide any proof of my opinion.
Regards,
Paul
