Crossword Genius

Rubbish garment (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pants

This clue is a double definition.

'rubbish' is the first definition.
(informal term meaning poor-quality)

'garment' is the second definition.
(pants is a kind of garment)

(Other definitions for pants that I've seen before include "Rubbish -- underwear" , "Undergarments; rubbish" , "Puffs, gasps" , "longs" , "Frightful" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
