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

'riviera location' is the definition.
(location on the French Riviera)

'hussy's unclothed with detective after day' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'detective' could be 'tec' (synonyms) and 'tec' is found within the answer.
'day' could be 'mon' (abbreviation for Monday) and 'mon' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'arlo' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
