Style, say, wearing English cut (8)
I believe the answer is:
elegance
'style' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'say wearing english cut' is the wordplay.
'say' becomes 'eg'.
'wearing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'cut' becomes 'lance' (I've seen this before**).
'e'+'lance'='elance'
'eg' going within 'elance' is 'ELEGANCE'.
(Other definitions for elegance that I've seen before include "Refinement in taste and dress" , "Showing good taste in dress or style" , "Chic" , "Fashionable grace" , "Sophistication" .)
