Style regarding publication clear: it’s always attractive (9,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

permanent magnet

'it's always attractive' is the definition.

'style regarding publication clear' is the wordplay.
'style' becomes 'perm' (hair style).
'regarding' becomes 'anent' (archaic term meaning about).
'publication' becomes 'mag' (abbreviation for magazine).
'clear' becomes 'net' (as in net profit).
'perm'+'anent'+'mag'+'net'='PERMANENT MAGNET'

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
