Men’s general appearance remarked on (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

guys

'men's' is the definition.
(guy can informally mean a man)

'general appearance remarked on' is the wordplay.
'general appearance' becomes 'guise' (guise can mean appearance).
'remarked on' shows a homophone (sound like) (how it might sound if spoken about or remarked on).
'guise' sounds like 'GUYS'.

(Other definitions for guys that I've seen before include "Fellows" , "Blokes" , "Burn victims" , "Dolls' partners" , "Chaps, lads" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
