Addictive thing to wear? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

habit

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

'to wear?' is the definition.
(habit is a kind of wear)

'addictive thing' is the wordplay.
'addictive' becomes 'hab' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'thing' becomes 'it'.
'hab'+'it'='HABIT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for habit that I've seen before include "Custom - costume" , "Propensity" , "It's second nature" , "bent" , "Custom, nun's wear" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
