sports

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

'wears small garments' is the definition.
'sports' can be an answer for 'wears' (sport can mean to wear or display on one's person). I am not certain of the 'small garments' bit.

'over and over right' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'over' could be 'o' (cricket abbreviation) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'right' could be 'rt' (abbreviation as in Rt Hon- the Right Honourable) and 'rt' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sports that I've seen before include "Soccer and rugby, say" , "plays" , "Diversions" , "Wears, displays" , "Back page journalist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
