'stylish' is the definition.
(both can mean fancy or ornate)

'ellesse on six-footer' is the wordplay.
'ellesse' becomes 'e' (this could be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'on' becomes 'leg' (cricket term, fielding positions).
'six footer' becomes 'ant' (an ant has six feet).
'e'+'leg'+'ant'='ELEGANT'

'top from' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
