Clothes dry in breeze (easterly) (6)
I believe the answer is:
attire
'clothes' is the definition.
(attire is clothing)
'dry in breeze easterly' is the wordplay.
'dry' becomes 'tt' (abbreviation for teetotal).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'breeze' becomes 'air' (synonyms).
'easterly' becomes 'E' (abbreviation for east).
'tt' going within 'air' is 'attir'.
'attir'+'e'='ATTIRE'
(Other definitions for attire that I've seen before include "Formal clothing" , "Formal dress or costume" , "Garments" , "Clothing, apparel" , "Habit" .)
