Morphology
clussy + outfit
The key element 'clussy' is not a recognized English word and does not transparently decompose into familiar morphemes, so even knowing 'outfit' a B1 learner could not derive the specific meaning. This is a slang/neologistic, culture-specific coinage whose sense is unpredictable from its parts and requires prior exposure.
Etymology
Clussy outfit may come from a playful mix of words meaning 'loud' and 'sassy', so picture someone wearing bright, clashing clothes and accessories to make a strong, brave statement about gender. That's why a clussy outfit means a bold, showy look that openly plays with gender rules.
