If upset, put on such varied neckwear (6)
I believe the answer is:
fichus
'neckwear' is the definition.
(plural of fichu - a type of woman's shawl)
'if upset put on such varied' is the wordplay.
'upset' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'put on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'varied' indicates an anagram.
'if' reversed gives 'fi'.
'such' with letters rearranged gives 'chus'.
'fi'+'chus'='FICHUS'
(Another definition for fichus that I've seen is " Wraps".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
