Studs in tatty clothing not for them (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nudists

'clothing not for them' is the definition.
(people who prefer nudity to clothing)

'studs in tatty' is the wordplay.
'tatty' is an anagram indicator.
'studs'+'in'='studsin'
'studsin' with letters rearranged gives 'NUDISTS'.

(Other definitions for nudists that I've seen before include "they reveal all" , "Things abandoned by those" , "Strippers?" , "they're not in gear" , "They're exposed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
