Over five accessories for this decade (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sixties

'this decade' is the definition.
(eg the 1960s)

'over five accessories' is the wordplay.
'over five' becomes 'six' (one more than five).
'accessories' becomes 'ties' (tie is a type of clothing accessory).
'six'+'ties'='SIXTIES'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for sixties that I've seen before include "The Age of Aquarius" , "some years?" , "time to retire?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
