Funny person I scold about clothing (8)
I believe the answer is:
cardigan
'clothing' is the definition.
(cardigan is a kind of clothing)
'funny person i scold about' is the wordplay.
'funny person' becomes 'card' (term for a humorous person).
'scold' becomes 'nag' (synonyms).
'about' says the letters should be written backwards.
'nag' backwards is 'gan'.
'card'+'i'+'gan'='CARDIGAN'
(Other definitions for cardigan that I've seen before include "clothes item" , "location of Welsh bay" , "Man in charge" , "corgi" , "One making ridiculous charge" .)
