Stylish welcome received in clubs twice (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chic

'stylish' is the definition.
('chic' can be similar in meaning to 'stylish')

'welcome received in clubs twice' is the wordplay.
'welcome' becomes 'hi' (I've seen this in other clues).
'received in' is an insertion indicator.
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'twice' shows that letters should be duplicated.
'c' duplicated is 'cc'.
'hi' inserted into 'cc' is 'CHIC'.

(Other definitions for chic that I've seen before include "A la mode" , "Snazzy" , "Well turned out" , "Elegant and sophisticated" , "Stylishness, elegance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
