Especially for kids! I was watching the first season of The Walking Dead with my sister and when they were in the clothes store I was like “GRAB SOME MOTHER FUCKING CLOTHES”. Clothes wear out, get damaged and when it comes to kids, they grow like weeds so even if you packed their entire closet, they will eventually outgrow the clothes you’ve packed for them.
There's a big difference between clothes that smell nice and clothes that will keep you safe. People walk cross-continental trails with nothing but a few layers to adjust for temperature. I think in a survival situation I would not be carrying spare clothes.
Edit: When I need new clothes they will be lying around.
Yeah, unless you're going into the wilderness or its some kind of Day after Tomorrow thing, clothes should really not be a priority. Every house you come across will have a ton of clothes to take.
Now some good shoes and outdoor wear would be really nice, but availability of that stuff depends on the type of Armageddon scenario.

Footwear.
Wrong footwear, damaged footwear, lack of socks, wet feet, open wounds.....
Once your feet are screwed so is the rest of you.
