As for you, not even this style stands out (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

afro

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

'style stands out' is the definition.
'Afro' can be an answer for 'style' (Afro is a type of hairstyle). I am unsure of the 'stands out' bit.

'as for you not even' is the wordplay.
'not even' indicates alternate letters (remove even-numbered letters).
'as'+'for'+'you'='asforyou'
The alternate letters of 'asforyou' are 'AFRO'.

'this' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for afro that I've seen before include "Luxuriant (black) hairstyle" , "Hairstyle with little thick curls" , "Rounded, curled hairstyle" , "Hair-style from Dark Continent" , "Hair cut" .)
