Show off clothes in reflection (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brag

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

'show off' is the definition.
(both can mean to boast about something)

'clothes in reflection' is the wordplay.
'clothes' becomes 'bra' (bra is a kind of clothes).
'in reflection' becomes 'g' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'bra'+'g'='BRAG'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brag that I've seen before include "Talk boastfully" , "Boast, crow" , "game, making > boast" , "Blow one's own trumpet" , "Idle talk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
