scruffily
In disheveled fashion
In a messy, unkempt, or shabby manner: He was scruffily dressed in wrinkled clothes and scuffed shoes.
The word suggests carelessness about appearance rather than deliberate style—someone scruffily attired looks like they didn't try, not like they tried to look disheveled.
