'clothes not to be seen' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'endlessly stressed over new' is the wordplay.
'endlessly' means to remove the last letter.
'stressed' becomes 'underlined' (underlining is a kind of stressing).
'over new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament. I am not sure about the 'over' bit.).
'underlined' with its last letter taken off is 'underline'.
'underline'+'n'='UNDERLINEN'
