'feeling for the right gear' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'feeling for the right gear' is the wordplay.
'feeling' becomes 'sense' (I've seen this before).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'the right gear' becomes 'dress' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'right' bit.**).
'sense' put after 'dress' is '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" , "What fashion icons have" , "Good instinct for clothing" , "style" , "Good taste in clothes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
