Attack boys in blue suit (3,3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fit the bill

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

'blue suit' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'attack boys' is the wordplay.
'attack' becomes 'fit' (fit is a kind of attack).
'boys' becomes 'thebill' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'fit'+'thebill'='FIT THE BILL'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fit the bill that I've seen before include "serve well" , "Be suitable" , "What police tailors might do" , "finish off some taxidermy?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
