Profile of an unfashionable occupation (7)
I believe the answer is:
outline
'profile' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'an unfashionable occupation' is the wordplay.
'an unfashionable' becomes 'out' (I've seen this before).
'occupation' becomes 'line' (synonyms).
'out'+'line'='OUTLINE'
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for outline that I've seen before include "Undetailed plan" , "Plan with little detail" , "Preliminary draft" , "Give a rough idea" , "Framework" .)
