How long you would need to freeze your clothes to kill all live bedbugs in or on them and any eggs, really depends on how low the temperature is. To kill them instantly you really need to get the temperature down instantly to below -20 C, so if the temperature is not that low it will take longer for them to die.
So if you mean putting your clothes outside your home in cold weather and it is only a few degrees below zero that night, it will probably be necessary to leave them out for at least a whole night long to be sure. But if you live in somewhere like Alaska or Siberia in mid winter, then you might successfully kill them within a few minutes. But otherwise to kill bedbugs by freezing them to death instantly it might be better to use a Cryonite unit.
These units can be hired and they send out a spray that creates an extremely cold and dry ice snow from chemical action in the spray. When this snow makes contact with the bed bugs the fluids in their bodies are automatically instantly deep frozen and so the bugs die instantly. After using them there is no residue, though it might be prudent to wash your clothes before wearing them again after using a Cryonite spray or indeed if they have been outside.
