In Japanese, '服装' (fukusou) and '服' (fuku) both relate to clothing, but they are used in slightly different contexts.
'服装' refers to one's overall outfit or attire, including the combination of clothes, accessories, and style. It is more about the entire look or ensemble that a person is wearing. For example, if someone asks about your '服装', they are inquiring about your outfit as a whole.
Example: 彼女の服装はとてもおしゃれです。(Her outfit is very stylish.)
On the other hand, '服' simply means 'clothing' or 'clothes'. It refers to the physical garments themselves, without considering the style or combination. It is a more general term for any type of clothing items.
Example: この店では安い服を買うことができます。(You can buy cheap clothes at this store.)
In summary, '服装' is about the overall look or style of clothing, while '服' refers to clothing items themselves.
