schlumpy

Carelessly put together

Schlumpy describes someone or something that looks shabby, unkempt, or carelessly dressed.

Derived from Yiddish, it suggests a rumpled, sloppy appearance without much concern for style or presentation.

He showed up to the interview in a schlumpy sweater and wrinkled khakis.

A schlumpy person isn't necessarily dirty, just indifferent to looking polished or put-together.

The word carries affectionate undertones when self-applied but can be mildly insulting when directed at others.
