beachwear

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

'clothing' is the definition.
(beachwear is a kind of clothing)

'every week earl enters pub in' is the wordplay.
'every' becomes 'each' (synonyms).
'week earl' becomes 'we' (this might be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'enters' indicates putting letters inside.
'pub' becomes 'bar' (both are drinking establishments).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'we' placed into 'bar' is 'bwear'.
'each' placed inside 'bwear' is 'BEACHWEAR'.

'revealing' is the link.
