Crossword Genius

Male in strange outlandish clothes (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

garments

'clothes' is the definition.
('garment' can be a synonym of 'clothe')

'male in strange outlandish' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'outlandish' indicates an anagram.
'strange' is an anagram of 'garents'.
'm' going into 'garents' is 'GARMENTS'.

(Other definitions for garments that I've seen before include "Articles of clothing" , "clothes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
