tasty

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

'nice' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'soldiers with a bit of style' is the wordplay.
'soldiers' becomes 'ta' (abbreviation for Territorial Army).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a bit of style' becomes 'sty' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ta'+'sty'='TASTY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tasty that I've seen before include "Having good flavour" , "Scrumptious" , "Palatable" , "Delicious" , "Appetizing" .)
