Sports gear, if set out, is a sporty adornment (2-6,7)
I believe the answer is:
go-faster stripes
'a sporty adornment' is the definition.
(eg a sports car might be decorated with them)
'sports gear if set out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'sports'+'gear'+'if'+'set'='sportsgearifset'
'sportsgearifset' anagrammed gives 'GO-FASTER STRIPES'.
'is' acts as a link.
(Another definition for go-faster stripes that I've seen is " Stickers on cars to make them look sportier".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
