Kinkily clad figures - scandalous! (11)

I believe the answer is:

disgraceful

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

'scandalous' is the definition.
(I know that scandalous can be written as disgraceful)

'kinkily clad figures' is the wordplay.
'clad figures' anagrams to 'DISGRACEFUL'.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for disgraceful that I've seen before include "Abominable - scandalous" , "Shockingly unacceptable" , "far from honourable" , "Dishonourable" .)
