kicky

Fun and fashionable

Kicky describes something stylish, lively, or pleasingly unconventional—often applied to fashion or design with a playful edge: a kicky little black dress, kicky boots.

The word suggests something that gives a kick of excitement or energy without being too serious.

It's informal and slightly dated, evoking mid-century fashion magazines.
