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

'be yes and no' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'one fashionable piece of writing?' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'an' (an apple is one apple).

'an'+'tony'+'ms'='ANTONYMS'

'could' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for antonyms that I've seen before include "sickness and health for example" , "Words opposite in meaning to others" , "They are opposed" , "My son, Nat, turns to words which are opposite in meaning" , "'Good' and 'bad' are examples" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
