Drunk and lass in casual footwear? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sandals

'casual footwear?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'drunk and lass' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates an anagram.
'and'+'lass'='andlass'
'andlass' anagrammed gives 'SANDALS'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for sandals that I've seen before include "Open footwear" , "Soles strapped to the feet" , "Light open shoes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
