rumpled
Like slept-in clothes
Rumpled describes something wrinkled, creased, or disheveled from being crushed or disturbed: a rumpled shirt, rumpled bedsheets.
It often suggests a comfortable disarray rather than damage—a rumpled appearance can seem endearing or lived-in: He showed up looking rumpled after sleeping on the train.
The verb rumple means to make wrinkled or messy.
