Chic or clever (5)
I believe the answer is:
smart
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'chic' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'clever' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for smart that I've seen before include "Fashionable" , "turned out nicely" , "astute" , "Clever, ingenious" , "Sharp stinging pain" .)
