Oppositional proletariat refuses attire (5)
I believe the answer is:
polar
'oppositional' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for polar that I've seen before include "From one end of the Earth or the other" , "Relating to the end regions of the earth's axis" , "Kind of bear or opposite" , "Of the far north or south" , "Relating to the highest latitudes" .)
