The word for “clothes” is singular in many languages, e.g. la ropa in Spanish or die Kleidung in German, and its plural in most contexts does not even make sense (you would virtually never hear someone say las ropas or die Kleidungen). In English, however, the situation is completely reversed.The word “clothes” is only used in the plural. Read the text to find out how it's used.
How to Care For Your Clothes - and Keep Them For Longer
Start
With Quality
It’s always
a good idea to purchase quality clothes. They never go out of style and they
are more durable.
Pay attention to care labels
It’s important to wash your clothes correctly. Pay
careful attention to the instructions on the label to find out how to take care
of them.
Wash
less frequently.
Try to wash your clothes as less frequently as possible, not that you should
wear dirty clothes, but the more you wash them, the more they lose their
quality.
Learn
basic repairs.
Learning to
complete basic repairs on your clothes — such as replacing a
missing button — can make them last longer and save you a tonne of money.
Practice
Good Storage Habits
Whether you
have a walk-in closet or a couple of shelves, the way you store your clothes
can make them last for years or, alternatively, leave them looking misshapen
and damaged in just a few months.
Dress
After Your Hair and Makeup
Women use
cosmetics that can stain and fade clothes. If you do your hair and makeup
before you get dressed, you’ll protect them.
