raggy
Frayed and shabby
Raggy describes something tattered, worn, or having a ragged quality.
Clothes become raggy when they're old and frayed, with loose threads and holes.
The word also applies to music, particularly styles with a syncopated, uneven rhythm reminiscent of ragtime: The band played a raggy version of the old standard.
In casual use, raggy can describe anything that looks rough around the edges or thrown together.
