'important clothes we do right for working?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'important clothes we do right for working?' is the wordplay.
'important' becomes 'pressing' (I've seen this before).
'clothes' indicates putting letters inside (some letters clothe or cover others).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'for working?' indicates an anagram.
'we'+'do'+'r'='wedor'
'wedor' is an anagram of 'owerd'.
'pressing' going around 'owerd' is 'POWER-DRESSING'.
