Clothes variously appear on line (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apparel

'clothes' is the definition.
('apparel' can be a synonym of 'clothes')

'variously appear on line' is the wordplay.
'variously' is an anagram indicator.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'line' becomes 'l'.
'appear' anagrammed gives 'appare'.
'appare'+'l'='APPAREL'

(Other definitions for apparel that I've seen before include "Fancy gear" , "Clothing, things to wear" , "what's in the press?" , "Formal word for clothing" , "Real pap (anag) - clothing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
