birthday suit

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

'nothing actually to wear?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'i'd buy a t-shirt possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'id'+'buy'+'a'+'t'+'shirt'='idbuyatshirt'
'idbuyatshirt' anagrammed gives 'BIRTHDAY SUIT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for birthday suit that I've seen before include "Nothing to wear?" , "State of total nakedness" , "Invisible outfit?" , "Invisible attire?" , "Invisible threads?" .)
