I believe the answer is:

silk

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

'posh stuff' is the definition.
'silk' can be an answer for 'stuff' (silk is a kind of stuff). I am not sure about the 'posh' bit.

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for silk that I've seen before include "Fabric from a worm's cocoon" , "Fibre from moth larva" , "Item of fine legwear" , "Fabric made from fine threads of certain worm" , "Fabric from larvae" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
