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

'principal street' is the definition.
'main drag' can be an answer for 'street' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'principal' bit.

'ma wearing men's clothes in' is the wordplay.
'wearing men' becomes 'drag' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'clothes' indicates putting letters inside.
'ma'+'drag'='madrag'
'madrag' placed around 'in' is 'MAIN DRAG'.
