Clothes bought here unfashionable and more appropriate (9)

I believe the answer is:

outfitter

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

'clothes bought here' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'unfashionable and more appropriate' is the wordplay.
'unfashionable' becomes 'out' (similar in meaning).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'more appropriate' becomes 'fitter' ('fit' can be similar in meaning to 'appropriate').
'out'+'fitter'='OUTFITTER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for outfitter that I've seen before include "Clothier" , "who could help in gear selection?" , "It suits one" , "Men's clothes shop" , "Person in shop" .)
