Severely criticise neckwear and underwear (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

panties

'underwear' is the definition.
(I know that panties is a type of underpants)

'severely criticise neckwear' is the wordplay.
'severely criticise' becomes 'pan' (pan can mean to criticise heavily).
'neckwear' becomes 'ties' (I've seen this in another clue).
'pan'+'ties'='PANTIES'

'and' acts as a link.

(Another definition for panties that I've seen is " Clothes".)
