I believe the answer is:

april

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

'time of year' is the definition.
(month)

'which capri looks its best' is the wordplay.
'APRIL' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for april that I've seen before include "whose first date is foolish?" , "''... is the cruellest month''(Elliot)" , "Girl" , "'All in an ... evening' (Katharine Tynan)" , "time of the year" .)
