I twerk with an eccentric in warm clothing? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

knitwear

'warm clothing?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i twerk with an eccentric' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'eccentric' indicates an anagram.
'i'+'twerk'+'an'='itwerkan'
'itwerkan' with letters rearranged gives 'KNITWEAR'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for knitwear that I've seen before include "stockings, perhaps" , "warm clothing" , "Sweaters etc" , "Woollen items" , "Woollen clothes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
