Over the top and angry about male fashion (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

immoderate

'over the top' is the definition.
(over the top can mean immoderate or extreme)

'angry about male fashion' is the wordplay.
'angry' becomes 'irate' (irate can mean angry or annoyed).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'fashion' becomes 'mode' (synonyms).
'm'+'mode'='mmode'
'irate' placed around 'mmode' is 'IMMODERATE'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for immoderate that I've seen before include "over the top" , "Reckless" , "Extravagant" , "Excessive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
