✕Common Mistakes
Meine Klamotten haben auch schon fertig.
In German, the state of being finished uses the verb 'sein' (to be), not 'haben' (to have).
Meine Kleider sind auch schon fertig.
While 'Kleider' can mean clothes, it specifically refers to dresses in many contexts; 'Klamotten' is the better general term.

I am finished getting dressed.
Cultural Tip
The word 'Klamotten' is much more common in spoken German than 'Kleidung'. While 'Kleidung' is formal and used in writing or shops, 'Klamotten' is the standard way to refer to your gear, duds, or clothes in a friendly, relaxed environment.
