I wouldn't say "piece of clothes" as it sounds unnatural, but I would say piece of clothing, or maybe "article of clothing" (but that's a bit fancy).

"Piece of clothes" isn't natural English anywhere I know of. (There's not a single instance of that phrase in the corpus of contemporary American English, nor in the British national corpus.) A "piece of clothing" means something that you can wear: a shirt, skirt, trousers, gloves, hat, socks, etc. A "piece of cloth" -- NO "e" and no "s" -- means unsewn fabric, not made into anything wearable. "Clothes" means "clothing," but no one ever says "piece of clothes," only "piece (or article, item) of clothing."
