I would say that everything has to do with clothing and fashion except for shelf. There is work clothing. Police wear a uniform type of clothing. A shirt is a type of clothing. A man wears clothing. Fashion has to do with clothing. The word that really has nothing to do with clothing that can be worn or a type of clothing is 'shelf'.

The answer is shelf as police goes with all the other words:
Police work
police clothing
police shirt
ploice man
fashion police
Hope this makes sense and is ok for you

Just guessing here but I think shelf. All the other words have something that can be linked together....fashion+police, work+shirt, police+man, clothing+shirt, and so on.
Its a tough one, good luck.

work clothing
police man
fashion police
work shirt
workman
Can't seem to use the word "shelf." Maybe that's the one that doesn't belong?

I say Police because the rest is connected with Clothing fashion

I think you can combine police
police work
clothing police
police shirt
policeman
fashion police

seems like man is the one that doesn't belong...
you can relate one word with another
police--is a job or work
clothing is part of fashion
shirt can be put on a shelf
maybe i'm wrong...but it makes sense to me

It could be police. Everything else is part of a store or a fashion show.
