Tries some of the latest styles (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tests

'tries' is the definition.
(test is a kind of try)

'some of the latest styles' is the wordplay.
'some of' indicates a hidden word.
'TESTS' can be found hidden inside 'latest styles'.

(Other definitions for tests that I've seen before include "Trials to see if something works" , "Trials -- tribulations" , "International cricket matches" , "Critically examines" , "Examinations, trials" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
