I believe the answer is:

ready wit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a sense of humour' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'tidy wear tailored' is the wordplay.
'tailored' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters are customised ).
'tidy'+'wear'='tidywear'
'tidywear' is an anagram of 'READY WIT'.

'by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for ready wit that I've seen is " Skill in repartee etc".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
