Member in neat outfit showing good taste (7)
I believe the answer is:
elegant
'member in' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'neat outfit showing good taste' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'good' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'neat' is 'eant' which is within the remaining letters.
The remaining letters 'el' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elegant that I've seen before include "Stylish in appearance, a gentle kind" , "Teen gal (anag.)" , "Refined gracefulness" , "Dignified and graceful" , "Refined and dignified in appearance" .)
