Enough neckwear for a decade? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sixties

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a decade?' is the definition.
(eg the 1960s)

'enough neckwear' is the wordplay.
'enough' becomes 'six' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'neckwear' becomes 'ties' (I've seen this in another clue).
'six'+'ties'='SIXTIES'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sixties that I've seen before include "some years?" , "time to retire?" , "The Age of Aquarius" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
