mantilla

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a woman wears this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'a man gets it all wrong' is the wordplay.
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'wrong' indicates an anagram.
'it'+'all'='itall'
'itall' with letters rearranged gives 'tilla'.
'man'+'tilla'='MANTILLA'

'but' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mantilla that I've seen before include "Woman''s lace veil" , "Scarf worn over the head by Spanish ladies" , "Scarf worn over head and shoulders by Spanish women" , "head cover" , "sort of scarf" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
