Bed Bugs on Clothing: Bed bugs seek out warm and soft places to hide, which is why they are often found in beds, on cloth chairs or other places that come in contact with human body heat. Because of this, it's possible for the bugs to travel to other locations on a person's clothing and be left in a new spot. If you're worried about bed bugs, check for small black or brown dots; they look similar to poppy seeds.

Yes: Bedbugs can certainly live in clothing. Your clothing should be washed and dried in a dryer on the hottest setting. If you want to get rid of some of your clothes, don't give them to others.

Bed bugs hop rides: Cimex lectularius or the bed bug is a parasite that is nocturnal. It can be transported on your clothing, luggage, second hand furniture etc. You can even get it using public transportation. It can go up to a year without feeding, so that allows it to just sit and wait until it catches a ride on something or someone. If you live in an apartment complex it may move from one unit to another. It is.
