It's surprisingly clear to me one may be seen as fashionable in society? (9)
I believe the answer is:
latecomer
'one may be seen as fashionable in society?' is the definition.
(someone who arrives fashionably late)
'it's surprisingly clear to me' is the wordplay.
'it's surprisingly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'clear'+'to'+'me'='cleartome'
'cleartome' with letters rearranged gives 'LATECOMER'.
(Other definitions for latecomer that I've seen before include "Person arriving behind time" , "Ace Merlot (anag)" , "Perhaps one held up" , "One who arrives tardily, not punctually" , "One arriving after time" .)
