ragamuffins
Tattered street kids
Ragamuffins are people, especially children, dressed in ragged, dirty clothes—urchins with a disheveled, scrappy appearance.
The word carries affection as often as judgment: The neighborhood ragamuffins spent their summers playing in the creek.
It can describe anyone looking messy or unkempt: We showed up at the fancy restaurant like a bunch of ragamuffins.
