You can have this and still be clothes-mad! (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dress sense

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

'you can have this and still' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'be clothes-mad' is the wordplay.
'be clothes' becomes 'dress' (I've seen this before).
'mad' becomes 'sense' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'dress'+'sense'='DRESS SENSE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dress sense that I've seen before include "Good instinct for selecting garments" , "style" , "Good taste in clothes" , "What fashion icons have" , "Instinct for clothes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
