Clothing should be accepted. I've reported it 3 different times. Please fix.
I don't understand why the word 'nos' is used. I read 'reflexive' below, which appears to refer to oneself, but why is nos only used sometimes and not always.
Because not all words are reflexive. Reflexive verbs refer to oneself. So Ponerse means "to put on to oneself", and it is reflexive, as opposed to Poner, which means "to put" and isn't reflexive. To conjugate Poner for nosotros, we would simply say Ponemos, but to conjugate Ponerse, we say Nos Ponemos.

I admit I was just being lazy with typing, but is there a legit reason why “comfy” isn’t acceptable for cómoda?
No. It is accepted is some phrases, in others, it isn't. You should report it, I guess.
It's a great question. Some languages use collective singular, including English (will you get your hair cut? not hairs), for some things but not others. Here's a discussion of this matter: https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/22679172

how would you say "we always put on our comfortable clothes"? Nosotros nos ponemos ropa cómoda siempre? But then I thought "nosostros" is "we" - and "nos" is our? If "nos " is used reflexive here, how do I make is "our"??
I believe "nuestra" is "our." So it should be "Siempre nos ponemos nuestra ropas cómodas. "
Duolingo does use awkward English at times. If you happen to be learning both Spanish AND English doing this course, "put on clothes" would usually be said "wear clothes". I usually wear comfortable clothes.
No, put on is not at all awkward in English.
Wear is not a good translation, since put on is the act of donning the garment, not wearing it.
