dress sense

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

'style' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fruity red and triple sec seen drunk' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'red' is 'dre' which is located in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is present in the answer.
'sec' could be 's' (synonyms) and 's' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
