Clothing scraps less feminine after time? (6)
I believe the answer is:
tights
'clothing' is the definition.
(tights is a kind of clothing)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tights that I've seen before include "form of legwear" , "Leg garment" , "Hose worn by dancers" , "Close fitting garment" , "Woman's garment" .)
