Women can buy them in zebra stripes (4)

I believe the answer is:

bras

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

'women can buy them' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'in zebra stripes' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'BRAS' is hidden in the letters of 'zebra stripes'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bras that I've seen before include "Garments with cups" , "intimate garments" , "Female undergarments" , "supports" , "They support" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
