Smart outfits inlaid with gold will get admirers (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

suitors

'admirers' is the definition.
(suitor is a kind of admirer)

'smart outfits inlaid with gold' is the wordplay.
'smart outfits' becomes 'suits' (suits are formal outfits).
'inlaid with' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'suits' enclosing 'or' is 'SUITORS'.

'will get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for suitors that I've seen before include "Beaux" , "They want wives" .)
