raffishly
In dissolute style
In a rakish, slightly disreputable manner that suggests carefree unconventionality.
Someone dressed raffishly might wear their clothes with deliberate dishevelment—a loosened tie, a hat at a jaunty angle.
The word carries a hint of charm in its seediness: He grinned raffishly, cigarette dangling from his lip.
