Suit oneself (5)
I believe the answer is:
dress
'suit' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dress that I've seen before include "formal attire" , "deck" , "Clothing - groom" , "Straighten the line" , "Cultivate < tidy" .)
