Fashionable sort of women's garment — golly! (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
teddy boy
'fashionable sort' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'of women's garment golly' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
'garment' could be 'teddy' (teddy is a kind of garment) and 'teddy' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'by' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for teddy boy that I've seen before include "Dressy adolescent of the '50s" , "Unruly adolescent of the 1950s" , "old rock-and-roller" , "Mid-1950s British youth with long sideboards" , "Youth of the '50s and '60s wearing Edwardian-style clothes" .)
