Ill-fitting description of stripped businessman! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unsuited

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

'ill-fitting' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'description of stripped businessman' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'businessman' could be 'suit' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'suit' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unsuited that I've seen before include "United us, not being harmonious" , "Mismatched" , "United us, being not fit for" , "incompatible" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
