Recalled icy area will involve a lot of adjustment for clothing (8)
I believe the answer is:
knitwear
'clothing' is the definition.
(knitwear is a kind of clothing)
'recalled icy area will involve a lot of adjustment' is the wordplay.
'recalled' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'icy area will' becomes 'rink' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'involve' indicates putting letters inside.
'a lot of' means to remove the last letter (I've seen 'lots of' mean this (the majority of the word)).
'adjustment' becomes 'tweak' (I have seen 'Fine adjustment ' mean 'tweak' so perhaps 'adjustment' could also mean 'tweak').
'rink' in reverse letter order is 'knir'.
'tweak' with its last letter removed is 'twea'.
'knir' placed around 'twea' is 'KNITWEAR'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for knitwear that I've seen before include "Jumpers and cardies etc" , "Sweaters etc" , "Cardigans, jerseys, etc" , "such as often goes over shirts and blouses" , "Woollies" .)
