Theatrical wear for drunks? (6)
I believe the answer is:
tights
'theatrical wear' is the definition.
'tights' can be an answer for 'wear' (tights is a kind of wear). I'm not sure about the 'theatrical' bit.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tights that I've seen before include "Women's garment worn in place of stockings" , "elasticated clothing" , "Female leggings" , "form of legwear" , "Close-fitting female garment" .)
