jaunty
Sprightly and stylish
Jaunty describes a lively, cheerful manner with a touch of stylish self-confidence: He wore his hat at a jaunty angle.
There's something carefree and buoyant about jaunty—a spring in the step, a tilt of the cap.
The word often applies to physical bearing or dress: a jaunty wave, a jaunty stride.
It can also describe music or speech with similar sprightly energy.
