Clothes dry in breeze, barely wet (6)
I believe the answer is:
attire
'clothes' is the definition.
(attire is clothing)
'dry in breeze barely wet' is the wordplay.
'dry' becomes 'tt' (short for teetotal - no alcohol).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'breeze' becomes 'air' (synonyms).
'barely' says to take the centre (the word is bare of its external letters).
The centre of 'wet' is 'e'.
'tt' going within 'air' is 'attir'.
'attir'+'e'='ATTIRE'
(Other definitions for attire that I've seen before include "Garments" , "I treat badly the dress." , "Special clothing" , "Habit" , "Prepare" .)
