Understood husband is a fan of dark clothing (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

goth

'a fan of dark clothing' is the definition.
(goths wear dark clothing)

'understood husband' is the wordplay.
'understood' becomes 'got' (getting is a kind of understanding).
'husband' becomes 'h' (abbreviation).
'got'+'h'='GOTH'

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for goth that I've seen before include "Uncivilised type" , "Teutonic invader of the Roman Empire" , "Girl in black perhaps" , "Old invader" , "Old German; rock style" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
