Trendy layer found in trousers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inseam

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

'in trousers' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'trendy layer' is the wordplay.
'trendy' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean fashionable).
'layer' becomes 'seam' (seam is a kind of layer).
'in'+'seam'='INSEAM'

'found' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
