Cool about wearing tartan (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

placid

'cool' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'about wearing tartan' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa').
'wearing' indicates putting letters inside.
'tartan' becomes 'plaid' ('plaid' can be a synonym of 'tartan').
'c' going within 'plaid' is 'PLACID'.

(Other definitions for placid that I've seen before include "Unconcerned" , "Composed or serene" , "Tranquil, even-tempered" , "Not ruffled" , "Calm; Lake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
