The sentence requires two adjectives before the noun 'clothing'. The general rule is that coordinating adjectives are separated by a comma, whereas cumulative adjectives are not. In this case, 'comfortable' and 'light' are coordinating adjectives because they are equally important to the meaning of the sentence. Therefore, they should be separated by a comma. Option D correctly places a comma between 'comfortable' and 'light', making it the correct choice.
