Follow men's fashion (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tailor

'fashion' is the definition.
(tailoring is a kind of fashioning)

'follow men's' is the wordplay.
'follow' becomes 'tail' (both can mean to chase or pursue).
'men' becomes 'OR' (military abbreviation for Other Ranks).
'tail'+'or'='TAILOR'

(Other definitions for tailor that I've seen before include "One makes suits etc. to measure" , "person before soldier and sailor in list" , "Suit maker" , "Fit" , "Fashion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
