"Ropa" is the usual and general word, but when you want to put an emphasis on the pieces of clothing the person is wearing, you say "ropas". Still, the plural feels either too literary or archaic for some of us.
"Lleva ropa vieja" would be perfectly understood in all contexts. ![]()

I agree with Angélica. In fact, I would say I never use the plural.

Thanks, all - I wrote my answer to the exercise in the singular, but the answer key had the plural. It just didn't sound right. This is very helpful.
