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

'what an athlete may wear' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'follow match' is the wordplay.
'follow' becomes 'track' (I've seen this before).
'match' becomes 'suit' (suiting is a kind of matching).
'track'+'suit'='TRACKSUIT'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tracksuit that I've seen before include "Loose sports/casual wear" , "it's assumed, if exercising" , "Loose-fitting top and bottom for athlete warming up" , "Warm loose-fitting garment for exercising" , "Sportswear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
