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

'revealing outfit?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'mini skirts a new look ultimately' is the wordplay.
'skirts' indicates putting letters inside (skirt can mean to go around).
'new' becomes 'n' (abbreviation as in New Testament NT).
'ultimately' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'look' is 'k'.
'a'+'n'+'k'='ank'
'mini' enclosing 'ank' is 'MANKINI'.
