Strangely right, a new pair of pyjamas, perhaps? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nightwear

'pair of pyjamas perhaps?' is the definition.

'strangely right a new' is the wordplay.
'strangely' is an anagram indicator.
'right'+'a'+'new'='rightanew'
'rightanew' is an anagram of 'NIGHTWEAR'.

(Other definitions for nightwear that I've seen before include "evening dress" , "What's on after the watershed" , "this brings bed to mind?" , "Bed clothing (W, not G)" , "negligee, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
