jauntily
In sprightly fashion
Jauntily describes doing something with cheerful, carefree confidence—a spring in one's step, a tilt to one's hat.
The word suggests lighthearted self-assurance without arrogance: He walked jauntily down the street, whistling.
A scarf worn jauntily is draped with casual flair rather than careful arrangement.
