Garment for character, trendy, going round Georgia (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cardigan

'garment' is the definition.
(cardigan is a kind of garment)

'character trendy going round georgia' is the wordplay.
'character' becomes 'card' (I've seen this in other clues).
'trendy' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean fashionable).
'going round' is an insertion indicator (some letters go around others).
'georgia' becomes 'GA' (abbreviation for the US state).
'in' going around 'ga' is 'igan'.
'card'+'igan'='CARDIGAN'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for cardigan that I've seen before include "Knitted jumper with buttons" , "Arcading in woolly garment" , "Buttoned top" , "Man in charge" , "corgi" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
