Strictly practical restyled Roman tunic (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unromantic

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

'strictly practical' is the definition.
'unromantic' can be an answer for 'practical' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'strictly' bit.

'restyled roman tunic' is the wordplay.
'restyled' is an anagram indicator.
'roman'+'tunic'='romantunic'
'romantunic' anagrammed gives 'UNROMANTIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unromantic that I've seen before include "Hard-headed" , "without affection?" , "Not loving or amorous" , "As classical music may be narrowly called" , "displaying no outward affection" .)
